Who rose, fell in Daniel Jeremiah's final prospect rankings

Since late January, NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah has released five rounds of his prospect rankings, culminating in one final “Top 150” unveiled this week. The virtual draft is set to kick off Thursday night, with the Giants in possession of 10 picks, including the fourth overall selection.

The biggest jump in the final list is TCU CB Jeff Gladney, who moved up four spots to No. 42.

"Gladney lacks ideal size/bulk for the position, but he excels because of his blend of quickness and feistiness," Jeremiah wrote of the 5-foot-10, 191-pounder. "He plays outside and inside. He is at his best in off coverage, where he uses a quick, fluid pedal before efficiently planting and driving on balls thrown in front of him. He doesn't waste steps. He is always in good position, but will get walled off at times by bigger wideouts. When he does press, he usually sits at 2 yards and carries his hands low before trying to catch wideouts and re-route them. His overall ball awareness is very good. He does a good job coming to balance before tackling runners and he's also an effective blitzer. Gladney needs to get a little stronger, but I love his scheme versatility and toughness."

While Jeremiah's top three remained the same (Ohio State EDGE Chase Young, LSU QB Joe Burrow, and Clemson LB/S Isaiah Simmons, in that order), five more players rose on the list, including a new No. 4. (Note: Jeremiah's first four editions included only 50 prospects.)

No. 4 CB Jeff Okudah, Ohio State (Up 1)

Jeremiah: "Okudah has ideal size, length, twitch and competitiveness for the position. He is very comfortable and effective in both press and off coverage. He is patient in press and very fluid/smooth when he opens up. He does a nice job of staying on top versus vertical routes and he can locate the football down the field. He has the agility to mirror underneath. In off coverage, he explodes out of his plant and he is a dependable open-field tackler. This is a very clean player with a very high floor and ceiling."

No. 17 LB Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma (Up 1)

Jeremiah: "Murray is an off-the-ball, run-and-hit linebacker. He is at his best when he's free to chase and make plays to the perimeter. He closes in a heartbeat and he is an explosive tackler. He struggles when he has to play off blocks and locate the football through the trash inside, as he doesn't use his hands and gets swallowed up. He has had some success dipping and slipping blocks. He is very athletic in coverage versus running backs, easily mirroring them in space. He is also a very dynamic blitzer. Overall, I believe Murray would be best served to play outside and off the ball, where he would be afforded clean sight lines to attack with his speed."

No. 33 EDGE Marlon Davidson, Auburn (Up 1)

Jeremiah: "Davidson has average height and a thick/square build. He typically lined up at defensive end for the Tigers, but also possesses the ability to slide inside. As a pass rusher, he is devastating when he has a runway. He generates a lot of power in his bull rush and has an array of hand moves he can incorporate on the move. He doesn't have an elite get-off, but he wins in the ways just mentioned. He destroys tight ends with his strength and power combination. Against the run, he uses his length to stack blocks, and his effort to pursue is outstanding. Overall, Davidson has some inside/outside flexibility and his production should carry over to the next level."

No. 37 RB J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State (Up 3)

Jeremiah: "Dobbins is a compact running back with tremendous power, balance and instincts. He is at his best on inside runs. He doesn't hesitate, accelerating into contact and breaking a ton of tackles. He has a nifty inside spin move and can make second- and third-level defenders miss in space. He has enough speed to get to the perimeter, but he always looks to turn upfield as soon as possible. In the passing attack, he is effective in the screen game, but he has more work to do as a route runner. He had two tough drops vs. Clemson in the College Football Playoff, but he was reliable in every other game I studied. He is very aware in pass protection -- he can drop his weight and anchor linebackers. Overall, Dobbins' game should translate very well to the next level. He'll be a dependable starter immediately."

No. 48 WR Michael Pittman Jr., USC (Unranked in previous Top 50)

Jeremiah: "Pittman is a tall, muscular wideout who had excellent production for the Trojans. He lines up out wide and he uses his upper-body strength to power through press coverage. He builds speed as he goes and he is a jump-ball specialist down the field. He high points the ball consistently and big brothers opposing cornerbacks routinely. He doesn't have elite speed, but he's very efficient getting in and out of breaks for such a big receiver. He is at his best after the catch, when his competitiveness and strength form a winning combination. He refuses to go down on first contact. Pittman has earned a reputation as one of the best special teams players in the country for his ability to cover and block punts. Overall, Pittman reminds me a lot of current Charger Mike Williams, and he can make an impact on all four downs because of his special teams value."

Of course, if someone moves up, someone must go down. The following players dropped in the ranking: No. 5 DT Derrick Brown, Auburn (Down 1); No. 18 OT Andrew Thomas, Georgia (Down 1); No. 34 LB Zack Baun, Wisconsin (Down 1); No. 38 C Cesar Ruiz (Down 1); No. 40 S Grant Delpit, LSU (Down 2); No. 43 CB Kristian Fulton, LSU (Down 1); No. 44 LB Jeremy Chinn, So. Illinois (Down 1); No. 45 DT Justin Madubuike Texas A&M (Down 1); No. 46 WR Denzel Mims, Baylor (Down 1); No. 49 CB Trevon Diggs, Alabama (Down 1); and No. 52 C Lloyd Cushenberry, LSU (Down 3).
