Draft

• According to Matt Miller, there’s a “growing sense” around the NFL that offensive tackles Connor Williams, Mike McGlinchey and Kolton Miller are “locks” to be first-round picks.
• Regarding UCF CB Mike Hughes, Miller says that even though he has special tape, he keeps hearing is that Hughes will probably the fourth or fifth cornerback drafted due to some off-the-field concerns. Miller adds that Denzel Ward, Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson likely ahead of Hughes.
• As for the linebacker position, Miller mentions that there are four expected to come off the board in round one including Tremaine Edmunds, Roquan Smith, Leighton Vander Esch and Rashaan Evans. Miller says that scouts believe Edmunds has really separated himself from the pack and should end up being a top-10 pick.
