Zach Tom-OT/OG-Wake Forest. Is projected to play guard or center in the NFL. Nothing spectacular, just a lineman that is extremely smart and technically proficient, doesn't get beat very often as a pass blocker. Has the necessary movement skills for this scheme. To me he's the top potential center prospect remaining.
I wouldn't be at all mad if they gave up a future pick to be able to acquire an early 4th and get him. He's experienced enough that he could be a potential starter at guard as a rookie and the center of the future.
Zach Tom really settled in at center. Again, LT at Wake Forest with great mobility and he's making money in Vegas. pic.twitter.com/QqgmrpTlUh

Darian Kinnard-OG-Kentucky. Pure guard, big, physical mauler with some decent movement ability. He's feisty and plays through the whistle. One of the more memorable parts of the Senior Bowl practices was his showdown with Jermaine Johnson. Johnson is one of the best edge rushers in this draft and Kinnard didn't back down from him even a bit.
Lions coaching staff ended practice with a 1-on-1. Each side chose a player to represent them.

FSU's Jermaine Johnson vs. UK's Darian Kinnard.
Best 2-out-of-3. Johnson won the first rep. Kinnard got the second one. This was the last rep.

Kalia Davis-DT-UCF. Really quick, attacking tackle that routinely got into the backfield in college. His explosiveness off the snap routinely caught OL's napping.
🚨SLEEPER ALERT🚨@UCF_Football Kalia Davis (@KaliaDavis20) wasn't on Senior Bowl Watch List but he's been one of most impressive DT in CFB on early tape. Fifth-year prospect opted out 2020 due to Covid but jumps off 🎥 with his disruptive traits. 💤📈#TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️ pic.twitter.com/SIGdhGpTZl

Talk about speed to power transfer; @UCF_Football's Kalia Davis is an absolute menace on the interior, with an explosive first step and ability to rock blockers and find their edges. Effective against the run and pass, he might just crack day 2: #NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/KgG7qjsvdQ

Damarri Mathis-CB-Pitt. Mathis of the ridiculous vertical at his Pro Day and a CB that was quite productive. Tremendous athleticism and a pitbull sort of mentality makes him my favorite remaining CB left in this draft.
Damarri Mathis (@Marri863) getting buzz after posting 43.5 VJ and 11-1 BJ at @Pitt_FB pro-day but his physicality is what originally got @seniorbowl's attention. Plenty of examples on '21 🎥. Personally haven't seen 43.5 vert since Troy Polamalu in '03.#TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️ pic.twitter.com/ulgxjImPu2

#Bengals fans, check out CB Damarri Mathis out of Pittsburgh, a day 3 corner prospect who is a very underrated corner. He's very physical, and is quick to read and react. He tries too hard to lay the wood instead of wrap up, but the tools are there. Would thrive in heavy zone. pic.twitter.com/nYeF1HnpBB

Decobie Durant-CB-South Carolina State.- K'Waun Williams is gone and the 49ers need a potential slot replacement. Durant is a guy best suited for just that in the NFL. He shows tremendous ability to flip his hips and can run with anyone. He was quite productive and has some big games against quality competition, including 2 INT's against Clemson.
SC State CB Decobie Durant (5-10, 180, #14) is a prospect to keep an eye on today in the Cricket Celebration Bowl vs. Jackson State (Noon ET, ABC).

Great job by #SCSU DB Decobie Durant playing through the hands of the receiver and staying in his hip pocket. I can see Durant transitioning smoothly as a nickel at the next level. pic.twitter.com/LaSX6EIEDG

Isaih Pacheco-RB-Rutgers. 49ers already went to the RB well with Davis-Price and it wouldn't shock me to see them do it again in this draft. Pacheco is the kind of guy you take a shot on late. He's got great size for the position, phenomenal athletic ability, was limited by a crap OL that didn't open up a lot of running room for him, he's someone that you could throw in on special teams as a gunner initially, like Mostert was and then let him work his way up the RB rotation.

#Rutgers RB Isaih Pacheco has my full attention. Converted high school QB with excellent athleticism & speed. Cuts are quick and his runs show patience and tempo. Anxious to see how he performs throughout the season #devy #CFF pic.twitter.com/8HFUEF4ycB

Isaiah Likely-TE-Coastal Carolina. Big receiving TE that can be a vertical threat down the field. Great hands and a well developed route runner. He was highly productive in college and known for his leadership ability on and off the field. Would fit really well with this locker room and especially the TE room.

Eric Johnson-DT-Missouri State. Another quick penetrating DT that can get upfield in a hurry. Experienced small school guy that really made a strong showing at the Senior Bowl.

Missouri State 3 tech Eric Johnson stands at 6'5 286 and is our 10th ranked IDL
Strong, fast hands who can play every down. Athletic too as he demonstrates here. Eric can get to the QB or stop the run. A typical 3 tech that you want for your team. #NFLTwitter pic.twitter.com/QwMSezXxwL
He flashed in day-one, and here he is day-two. Missouri State's Eric Johnson's length, lever, and drive is really standing out. pic.twitter.com/Z2zYx9okRM
