2018 NFL Draft tracker and instant grades

65. Oakland Raiders: Brandon Parker, OT, North Carolina A&T

Parker played left tackle at North Carolina A&T, and he better stay there, considering Oakland gave up third, fifth and seventh-round selections. He likely will serve as a wing tackle until Donald Penn retires/moves on.

Grade: D+

66. New York Giants: Lorenzo Carter, EDGE, Georgia

At 250 pounds, Carter was able to run a 4,50 40-yard dash at the combine. If the Giants can find the right spot for him in the scheme (outside linebacker), they should have a nice piece to play at the second level.

Grade: B+

67. Cleveland Browns: Chad Thomas, DE, Miami

Thomas will give the Browns someone who can get a bit of pass-rush going, having 5.5 sacks with The U a year ago. At this juncture, Cleveland is getting a talent that should help in subpackages and occasionally in base.

Grade: B

68. Houston Texans: Justin Reid, S, Stanford

Reid can really play, making this an excellent pick for the Texans. Houston didn’t have a selection in the first two rounds, but it made up for that by landing one of the best safeties in the class. Last year, Reid has 99 tackles.

Grade: A

69. New York Giants: D.J. Hill, DT, North Carolina State

At 311 pounds, Hill will slot inside and help Damon Harrison stuff the run. It’s a solid play by Dave Getteman, who clearly wants to build from the inside out.

Grade: B-
