Pick 20 (52)

Cam Akers

RB Florida State

5-10 217 LBS

Akers was a top-10 national recruit after being named the U.S. Army National Player of the Year and Mississippi's Mr. Football in 2016. The dual-threat quarterback threw for 8,140 yards and 78 touchdowns during his career and ran for 5,103 yards and 71 scores. He broke Dalvin Cook's school record for freshman rushing in 2017, leading the Seminoles with 1,024 yards (194 carries, 5.3 per, seven touchdowns; 16 receptions, 116 yards, 7.3 average, one touchdown) to earner third-team All-ACC notice. Akers led FSU in rushing again in 2018, though his production was down considerably (161 carries, 706 yards, 4.4 ypc, six touchdowns; 23 receptions, 145 yards, 6.3 average, two touchdowns, five fumbles in 12 games, 10 starts). He looked more like the Akers of 2017 as a junior, receiving second-team all-conference honors after leading FSU with 1,144 rushing yards on 231 carries (5.0 ypc) and 14 touchdowns. Akers also caught 30 passes for 225 yards (7.5 per) and four scores in 11 starts.

Pick 25 (57)

Van Jefferson

WR Florida

6-1 200 LBS

From Texans

Vanchii Lashawn Jefferson is the son of Shawn, who was an NFL receiver for 13 years and is now an assistant coach with the New York Jets. Van Jefferson was a four-star recruit in his own right, signing with Ole Miss out of Brentwood, Tennessee. He redshirted in Oxford, then burst onto the scene in 2016, earning SEC All-Freshman team honors in 12 starts (49 receptions, 543 yards, 11.1 average, three touchdowns). The following year, Jefferson only started three of 10 games played but still produced (43 receptions, 456 yards, 10.9 average, one touchdown). He decided to transfer as a graduate student after the season, finding a new home in Gainesville. Jefferson started all 13 games in his first year in Florida, leading the team in receiving (35 receptions, 503 yards, 14.4 average, six touchdowns), and did so again as a senior (49 receptions, 657 yards, 13.4 average, six touchdowns). He also has limited punt return experience (four returns, 11 yards, 2.8 average in 2016 at Ole Miss; three returns, 17 yards, 5.7 average in 2018 at Florida).

Pick 20 (84)

Terrell Lewis

EDGE Alabama

6-5 262 LBS

Lewis had some bad luck with injuries during his career at Alabama but finished strong. He was a second-team All-SEC selection in 2019 after racking up 31 tackles, 11.5 for loss, six sacks and two pass breakups in 11 games (three starts). The former five-star recruit and Washington D.C. Gatorade Player of the Year at St. John's High School played in 11 games as a true freshman (11 tackles, one sack). Going into the 2017 season, he changed his last name from Hall to Lewis for undisclosed reasons. That fall, he played in four games with one start (16 tackles, two for loss, one sack) because he missed 10 contests with an upper arm injury. Lewis' bad luck continued as he underwent surgery for a torn right ACL in the summer of 2018, resulting in a lost redshirt season.

Pick 40 (104)

Terrell Burgess

S Utah

5-11 202 LBS

Compensatory Selection

Burgess became a strong prospect as a senior, receiving honorable mention all-conference notice from league coaches as a 14-game starter (81 stops, 7.5 for loss, one interception, five pass breakups). Burgess was a talented high school player in the San Diego area but could only manage three starts in his first three years at Utah. He contributed in four games as a true freshman (one tackle, one pass breakup) and then in 13 games the following season (18 tackles, one for loss, one start). In 2018, he accumulated 16 tackles, three pass breakups, and a blocked kick in 14 games (two starts). His brother, Isiah Hennie, was a two-time honorable mention All-Big Sky selection as a receiver at Sacramento State.

Pick 30 (136)

Brycen Hopkins

TE Purdue

6-3 245 LBS

From Packers through Dolphins and Texans

Brycen's father, Brad, was a Pro Bowl offensive lineman for the Tennessee Titans. The younger Hopkins has proved himself a receiving threat who will interest pro scouts. He did not start playing football until he reached high school in Nashville but his genes and work ethic helped him earn second-team all-state honors as a senior. As a redshirt freshman for the Boilermakers, Hopkins played in 11 games with one start, scoring four touchdowns (10 receptions, 183 yards, 18.3 average). While he did not start any contests in 2017, his production increased (25 receptions, 349 yards, 14.0 average, three touchdowns). Hopkins became a major threat for Purdue in 2018, catching 34 passes for 583 yards (17.1 per) and two scores in 13 games (four starts). He took another step in 2019, garnering first-team Associated Press All-American, Big Ten Tight End of the Year, and first-team all-conference honors with 61 receptions for 830 yards (13.6 per) and seven touchdowns in 12 games (11 starts).

Pick 20 (199)

Jordan Fuller

S Ohio State

6-1 203 LBS

Fuller is an excellent football player and exceptional all-around student-athlete. He was a captain for the Buckeyes in 2018 and 2019. Fuller tied for the team lead with 81 tackles, 2.5 for loss, while also posting an interception and four pass breakups in 13 starts as a junior, and then garnered first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2019 (62 tackles, two interceptions, four pass breakups in 14 starts). He also started 13 games as a sophomore (70 tackles, three for loss, two interceptions, two pass breakups). The 2015 New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year helped his high school win its first state title in 30 years and then stepped onto the field to contribute in all 13 games in 2016 (11 tackles). Fuller was a first-team Academic All-American in 2017 and created a seminar to educate Ohio State student-athletes on sexual assault, sexual violence and healthy relationships. His brother, Devin, played receiver at UCLA. His mother, Cindy Mizelle, is a singer who has performed with Luther Vandross, Bruce Springsteen and many others. The comedian Sinbad is married to Fuller's paternal aunt.

Pick 20 (234)

Clay Johnston

LB Baylor

6-1 227 LBS

The son of long-time NFL strength coach Kent Johnston was born to play football. Two of his brothers, Kody and Kole, also played college football. But Clay's career could have been over before it really started, as he suffered severe injuries from an ATV accident entering his sophomore year in high school. However, he bounced back to become a two-time All-State pick as a defender as well as an All-State running back his senior year. Johnston started two of 13 games played as a redshirt freshman in 2016 (26 tackles, four for loss, one interception). He started eight games as a sophomore (54 stops, nine for losses) but missed time with a broken hand and torn ligaments in his foot. Johnston missed the opener of the 2018 season with a knee injury but wound up a second-team All-Big 12 pick after leading the Bears with 99 tackles (5.5 for loss). His senior season started strong (58 tackles, eight for loss, 2.5 sacks, one interception, five pass breakups in six games) but another knee injury ended it prematurely. Still, Big 12 coaches voted him second-team all-conference.

Pick 34 (248)

Sam Sloman

K Miami (Ohio)

5-8 205 LBS

Compensatory Selection - From Texans

High school kickers are not often given credit for helping their team win a state title. However, Sloman deserves that recognition after making 20-of-23 field goal attempts (long of 53 yards) and converting all 51 extra point tries as a senior at Pace Academy in Georgia. He made only one of three field goals (long of 31 yards) as a true freshman at Miami (Ohio) but was the team's kickoff specialist (12 touchbacks on 54 kickoffs). Sloman became the starter as a sophomore and was the team's Special Teams Player of the Year (12-16 FGs, long 45; 35-36 XPs; 21 touchbacks on 58 kickoffs). Redhawk coaches did not give him many field goal opportunities as a junior (10-13-76.9, 41-42 XPs) but he did create 42 touchbacks on 63 kickoffs. Sloman finished his career on a crescendo, garnering second-team All-MAC notice in 2019 by converting 26-of-30 field goals (86.7 percent, 4-5 from 50 yards or more) and all 34 extra point tries (52 touchbacks on 75 kickoffs).

Pick 36 (250)

Tremayne Anchrum

G Clemson

6-1 314 LBS

Compensatory Selection - From Texans

Anchrum's build is not that of a typical high-level offensive tackle. He's been an immovable object on the right side for the Tigers over the past four years, however, garnering first-team All-ACC honors as a senior and second-team all-conference notice as a junior. He started all 15 games both seasons, helping the team win a national title in 2018 and make it to the championship game the following year. Anchrum started one of 11 games played at the position as a true freshman, coming off an all-state senior season at McEachern High School in Georgia. He started six of 14 games played as a sophomore. His father, Tremayne, was an all-state football player in Colorado and played basketball at USC, where he led the Trojans in rebounding as a sophomore and in three-point shooting percentage as a junior.
