Here are the best player equipment in this draft class, as discussed by “Football 301“Crew – Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice, Matt Harmon and Charles McDonald – in the last episode of Podcast.
RB Kaleb Johnson (Iowa), Pittsburgh Steelers
It was the first choice of “player's team” from Harmon of the weekend. Johnson landed in a tailor -made offense for his racing style. He is a natural zone runner, and the Steelers have led zone concepts at the second highest rate of the League. Harmon considers Johnson to be a perfect adjustment for the offensive philosophy of the Steelers and said that he “could be the second most productive recruit this year, behind Ashton Jeanty”.

CB Darien Porter (Iowa State), Las Vegas raiders
McDonald stressed it as his favorite “choice of process”, welcoming the fact that wearing – a long and extremely athletic corner – lands with Pete Carroll, one of the best football corner teachers. It is an adjustment designed for the development of raw traits to wear, in particular in a defensive scheme which has a solid history with this archetype of cornerback.
Edge Mykel Williams (Georgia), San Francisco 49ers
Tice loved this twinning, calling him “exactly where he should go” and “what they needed”.

The 49ers needed more punch at the front, and the combination of upward skills of Williams and ready for the NFL makes it a net adjustment alongside Nick Bosa and a defensive line which needs an injection of young people and athletics.
Ot Armand Membou (Missouri), New York Jets
Tice distinguished this selection for jets, noting the big coupling of membou in the right tackle with Oli Fashanu in the left tackle. The jets wanted a real right tackle, and Membou is exactly that. Tice said that the adjustment was “very fun”, especially given how the offensive line of the jets is formed for the race game and with Justin Fields at QB.
There have been other discussed adjustments (such as Ashton Jeanty with raiders and others), but these four have obtained special recognition like “ideal matches” – the kind of selections where the skills of the player and the needs / philosophy of the team have aligned themselves.
