Fautanu is a steal at No. 20 by Steelers
Troy Fautanu is one of the most versatile offensive linemen in the draft. He can push to start at left guard and fill in at tackle if one of the veterans gets banged up. I think he’s a top 10 player in this class.
Jared Verse expected to have immediate impact in L.A.
Verse, the Florida State product taken by the Rams at No. 19, is my top-ranked pass rusher; I love the heavyweight fighter hands that he throws at tackles.

Colts pick Laiatu Latu credits ‘power of the mind’ in going from injury to draft
Onstage in Detroit, Indianapolis Colts pick Laiatu Latu took a step back and put his hand to his mouth when he was shown his name on the back of a jersey.
Four years ago, after a neck injury, he was told he might have to medically retire from football.
“I told all the other doctors that told me otherwise that I’ll be at this point in time playing football again,” Latu told Kaylee Hartung on the NFL Network after he was selected with the 15th pick as the first defensive player taken.
“I knew it, I manifested it. The power of the mind is something crazy,” said Latu, a defensive end and edge rusher from UCLA. “And you’ve just got to take it, trust in yourself, trust in the Lord. I mean, he’s got a plan for each and every one of us.”
