Eric Edholm's Commentary
Three out of four picks at receiver — a run, you might say. At his best, Pierce might become a poor man's Adam Thielen, offering speed and nice jumping ability from a long frame. He's been a bit banged up and will drop a pass here and there but has solid upside as another weapon for Matt Ryan.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The Colts took our favorite tight end in this class. He's like a young Marcedes Lewis, able to run block very competitively with his massive frame at 6-foot-7 and added some receiving chops after leaving Oklahoma State and heading to Virginia. He can threaten the seam and be a red-zone threat. Love this pick.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The slide ends for the Austrian native who is newer to football after coming to the United States and converting from tight end to become a darned good college tackle. He'll turn 25 in September, so this gives us an idea of how age might affect a prospect's landing spot, but it also dismisses the idea that analytics-savvy front offices won't take older players. In the end, the value was too good.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Once Cross ran a 4.34 40, he moved into our top 100. His playmaking chops are clear, but Cross is also a risk taker who can bite on the cheese too much on pump fakes and double moves. He's not even 21 yet, so he can be developed over time and contribute on special teams, where he also made his mark for the Terps. Nice developmental pick.
