JACKSONVILLE, FL – DECEMBER 30: Martinas Rankin
JACKSONVILLE, FL – DECEMBER 30: Martinas Rankin /

80. Houston Texans: Martinas Rankin, OT, Mississippi State

The Texans have to figure out their offensive line, and Rankin should be an answer somewhere, whether it is tackle or guard. Houston has to protect Deshaun Watson at all costs.

Grade: C

81. Dallas Cowboys: Michael Gallup, WR, Colorado State

Gallup is a thick kid at 6-foot-0 and 205 pounds. He doesn’t fly but he has respectable speed. Look for Gallup to get into the conversation as a third receiver in Dallas following the release of Dez Bryant.

Grade: B

82. Detroit Lions: Tracy Walker, S, Louisiana Lafayette

Walker might be able to contribute on special teams right away, while pushing for time in Detroit’s secondary. Glover Quin is a great mentor, and he could help Walker make an impact sooner rather than later.

Grade: C+

83. Baltimore Ravens: Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma

Brown went from being a first-round pick to dropping like a rock in water due to horrid combine numbers. Brown is going to play on the right side, and is a project for Baltimore.

Grade: C

84. Los Angeles Chargers: Justin Jones, DT, North Carolina State

The Chargers continue to address the defensive side of the ball here, getting a run-stuffer in Jones. Los Angeles is trying to finally topple Kansas City in the AFC West, and this draft might put it over the top.

Grade: B
