You know the usual ways by now. This time, there are no trades.
24: Tyler Linderbaum C/G Iowa 6'2" and 296
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/tyler-linderbaum/32004c49-4e17-7976-f831-6fbe52def617
56: Kingsley Enagbare DE South Carolina 6'4" and 258 lbs
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kingsley-enagbare/3200454e-4104-0912-811c-67db1204d680
88: Darrian Beavers LB Cincinnati 6'4" and 237 lbs
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/darrian-beavers/32004245-4179-4435-46df-ffda0df989a5
"Inside linebacker with throwback size but also throwback athleticism that fails to fit cleanly into today's brand of football. Beavers is a phone-booth linebacker who is well-schooled in taking on and slipping blocks between the tackles but can be overwhelmed by athletic opponents when forced to move and play in space. He plays too stiff-legged and with a lack of desired agility, which gets him tangled up in traffic more than teams might like. He'll need to lean into a role as a thumper to make a team, which will require improvement in consistently attacking and discarding blockers. Beavers has a challenging road ahead of him but his background as a core special-teamer helps."
129: Zach Tom T Wake Forest 6'4" and 304 lbs (LT)
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/zach-tom/3200544f-4d13-1680-d84b-a813971a836d
Played last 2 seasons at LT. Could make a good depth player when Tyron is out o action
155: Noah Elliss DT Idaho DT 6'4" and 346 lbs
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/noah-elliss/3200454c-4c76-1367-9665-fc061bf42c99
"Imposing space-eater with flashes of physical dominance against a level of competition that hasn't fully tested him. Elliss was a heralded prospect out of high school and began his career at Mississippi State before transferring to Idaho, where his dad (former Detroit Lion Luther Elliss) coached him up on the defensive line. He has the physical tools and power to make a living as a two-gapping, odd-front nose guard but will need to improve his technique and footwork to become a true tree stump in the middle against the run. Ellis has Day 3 potential with starting upside, but weight management will be very important for him.:
167: Sterling Weatherford S Miami Ohio 6'4" and 215 lbs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ8hvke1VL0
https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/sterling-weatherford
"Weatherford has tremendous size and stature for playing as a zone coverage defender on the second level and I think that’s where he will shine most in the NFL despite the fact that he played in the high post frequently at Miami-Ohio and was given a lot of range on the back end."
176: Pierre Strong Jr. RB San Jose State 5'11" and 207 lbs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYnAkfAM6HM
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/pierre-strong/32005354-5265-8099-4e5a-fedfdfa80694
"Instinctive running back with NFL traits and talent to find a home as a committee back or an eventual RB1. Hyper-focused vision provides him a variety of cut options and rush paths but also causes him to overthink his approach at times. Strong is more reactive than manipulative but is quite impressive with his spatial awareness and ability to slalom around bodies on a smooth, linear pathway without slowing his roll. He struggles when forced to slow his feet and make early cuts. He needs a north/south run scheme where he can square his pads and find his rhythm quickly. Strong lacks third-down value at this time, but has shown enough to believe it could be in his future."
178: Micah McFadden LB Indiana 6'1" and 240 lbs

"Undersized inside linebacker with adequate diagnose quickness and downhill trigger. His passivity and indecisiveness against Iowa and Ohio State, in particular, seemed out of place relative to the rest of his tape. He's very average in the athleticism and speed departments but is well-prepared and exploits soft spots in blocking schemes to make impact tackles behind the line of scrimmage. He's unable to challenge blocks and constrict gaps as a thumper, but he's tough. McFadden has Day 3 value as a backup inside linebacker with core special teams potential."

- Loves to compete and brings it to opponents.
- Wrestling background evident in core strength and leverage.
- Gets snap hand where it needs to go quickly.
- Hands, hips and feet are harmonious.
- Elite snap quickness creates A+ win rate in positioning phase.
56: Kingsley Enagbare DE South Carolina 6'4" and 258 lbs
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kingsley-enagbare/3200454e-4104-0912-811c-67db1204d680
- Above-average length and upper-body power.
- Punches with good knockback pop.
- Powerful slap to flip and clear blocker's edge at point of attack.

- Adequate snap quickness.
- Fires into A-gaps and pushes into the backfield.
- Occupies blocks with his girth and lower-body anchor.
- Takes effort and double teams to get him moved.
