Walker get drafted yet? Missed the 1st few picks. If not, him and Coker could be a good pick when we're up next. Then maybe Braelo Allen with 1 of our 5ths since he's young and his game compliments Cooks pretty well.

Some best available guys according to the athletic:

55. T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State (6-0, 194)​

Tampa gets a little sticky with his footwork at the top of routes, but he doesn’t lose much separation and plays with the size, range and ball skills to be disruptive. He has the tools and potential to be a starting perimeter cornerback in various schemes.

78. Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas (6-4, 253)​

Booker is lacking in body mass and overall experience (just 505 career college snaps), but he is an ascending player with the ability to maximize his athletic traits and body length/force with proper biomechanics. With his tools and instincts, he projects as a rotational player in Year 1 with the potential to become an impact starter.

85. DJ James, CB, Auburn (5-11, 175)​

James won’t be a fit for every scheme, because of his undersized build, but his quick feet will help him maintain phase in coverage. If he can handle big slots and improve his consistency as a tackler, he will compete for a starting nickel role in the NFL.

90. Malik Washington, WR, Virginia (5-8, 191)​

Washington is undersized and needs to continue refining his route steps, but his explosive movements, rugged toughness and catchpoint skills will make him a factor in the slot for an NFL offense. He also has the skill set to immediately contribute in the return game.

93. Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina (6-1, 193)​

Walker is a vertical/stretch receiver who requires a linear route tree, but he is a big-play threat with a promising catch radius and the speed to climb on top of coverage. He must develop better consistency in his routes and hands to be more than a complementary outside option.

97. Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin (6-1, 235)​

Allen isn’t overly creative and doesn’t run with as much nastiness as his size suggests, but he is well built with the vision, feet and overall feel to maximize the run design. He has the talent and third-down potential to be a productive NFL tandem back, similar to Tyler Allgeier.

98. Audric Estime, RB, Notre Dame (5-11, 222)​

Estime has the build and run power of a downhill grinder but the vision and cut acceleration of a smaller back, giving him RB1 potential for an NFL team (best in a gap scheme). His body type, run talent and promise on passing downs are reminiscent of former Seattle Seahawks’ RB Chris Carson.

99. Christian Mahogany, G, Boston College (6-3, 314)​

Mahogany needs to play with more control, especially in space, to survive versus NFL defenders, but he plays like a bouncer outside of a club, looking to bash heads with power and forceful hands. He projects as a guard-versatile NFL starter, ideally suited for a downhill run team.

Bunch of guys I'd like on this list.

A lot of imperfect comps for Coleman flying around like Benjamin or Gabe. He feels very similar to Higgins for me, right down to both being picked 33rd overall. A promising model for him to follow.

Similarities: Young for class and young breakout age; DI level hoops; elite body control, high-point, and in-air adjustment; twitchy big man; unpolished route runners and can struggle to separate; huge catch radius

Pro Coleman Diff: Coleman is stronger and more physically impressive; Coleman a much better blocker; Coleman much better vertical; Coleman much better college dominator and target share

Pro Higgins Diff: Coleman is long but Higgins is longer; Higgins more durable; Higgins hit more big plays

I agree, Higgins or Mike Williams is the best comp if he works out.
