David Njoku, TE, Miami
NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein projected Njoku, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound former high school receiver and national high jump champion. While starting nine games in two years on the field with the Hurricanes, he hauled in 64 passes for 1,060 yards and nine touchdowns, eight of which came in 2016.
Zierlein: "A freaky athlete, Njoku is a former high-school high-jump champion who should light it up at the NFL Scouting Combine. I'll leave him here for now, but I suspect he'll keep bouncing higher as the process plays out.""

Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan
Dane Brugler of NFLDraftScout.com liked Charlton, who registered 94 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, and 19 sacks during his career as a three-year letterman. The 6-foot-6, 272-pound defensive end picked up first-team All-Big Ten honors as a senior in 2016 after leading the team and ranking 14th nationally with 9.5 sacks.
Brugler: "Charlton, who has some traits reminiscent of Justin Tuck out of Notre Dame, has all the ingredients of a NFL starter."
