Caleb Tiernan, OT, Northwestern (6-7, 325 pounds)<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that stands out for Tiernan is his size, but he also is technically sound with good footwork to compensate for less than top-end athleticism.<\/p>\n<p>61.

Romello Height, EDGE, Texas Tech (6-3, 239 pounds)<\/p>\n<p>Height has decent size, but overall, he&#8217;s limited to being a very dynamic pass rusher or\u00a0situational defender until he can bulk up and get stronger vs. the run.<\/p>\n<p>66. Genesis Smith, S, Arizona (6-2, 202 pounds)<\/p>\n<p>Smith is a lanky and big cover man for the inside with a chance to be this year&#8217;s Nick Emmanwori.<\/p>\n<p>67.

Anthony Lucas, EDGE, USC (6-6, 256 pounds)<\/p>\n<p>Lucas looks the part of a dominant engulfing pass-rushing with his frame, but consistency and honing technique are his key pro challenges.<\/p>\n<p>71.
