Fourth Round Pick No. 110 –
‘Fireman Ed’ –

Why this pick: “Tall and long-armed cornerback.”
Previous picks: Andrew Thomas, OT (Georgia); Matt Hennessy, G/C (Temple); Van Jefferson, WR (Florida); Khalid Kareem, DE (Notre Dame)
Daniel Kelly –
Current pick No. 110: Logan Wilson, ILB (Wyoming)
Why this pick: “Athletic, smaller school guy who just might drop because of that. Looks the part. Gregg Williams will fall in love with him during camp. Needs to be more stout at the point, but can blitz, cover, run around and tackle.”
Previous picks: Andrew Thomas, OT (Georgia); Jaylon Johnson, CB (Utah); Jordan Brooks, ILB (Texas Tech); 79: Colton McKivitz, RT (West Virginia)
Junior Aumavae:
Current pick No. 110: Levonta Taylor, CB (Florida State)
Why this pick: “Jets would love to have another corner that can contribute on third downs. By drafting a corner that will step up in big time game situation on third downs will make that Jets defensive front seven that much more intimidating.”
Previous picks: Andrew Thomas, OT (Georgia); Tee Higgins, WR (Clemson); Darrell Taylor, DE (Tennessee); Zack Moss, RB (Utah)
‘DJ Chef’ -
Current pick No. 110: Shane Lemieux, G (Oregon)
Why this pick: “Best offensive lineman left on the board. Nice size. Looks like a mean scary dude – just how I like my offensive linemen. Sign me up.”
Previous picks: A.J. Epensa, DE (Iowa); Tee Higgins, WR (Clemson); Shane Lemieux, G (Oregon); Bryce Hall, CB (Virginia)
Jamal Westerman –
Current pick No. 110: Albert Okwuegbunam, TE (Missouri)
Why the pick: “When he learns the nuances of the game, the two tight end package can be scary with Ryan Griffin.”
Previous picks: CeeDee Lamb, WR (Oklahoma); Curtis Weaver, DE/OLB (Boise State); Tony Pride, Jr., CB (Notre Dame); Trey Adams, LT (Washington)
Bob Wischusen –
Current pick No. 110: Alex Highsmith, DE (Charlotte)
Why this pick: “Small school edge rushers can be boom or bust, but he’s got tremendous upside.”

Alecko Eskandarian –
Current pick No. 110: Lamar Jackson, CB (Nebraska)

Previous picks: Tristan Wirfs, OT (Iowa); Tee Higgins, WR (Clemson); Darrell Taylor, EDGE (Tennessee); J.K. Dobbins, RB (Ohio State)
