Los Angeles Rams full 2020 NFL mock draft

Stone does not wow anyone with size (5-foot-10, 207 pounds) or speed (4.62 40 at the NFL Combine), but is lauded for a having a high football IQ and he seems to find the ball (70 total tackles, three tackles for loss last year).

Pro Football Focus loves Stone, tabbing him as the most underrated prospect at any position in this year’s draft.

"Stone is the PFF posterchild at this point, considering we are the only ones giving him any Day 2 love. He’s not only the most underrated defensive back in the class, but also the most underrated player regardless of position. Stone’s instincts are top-notch — he is so damn quick to make plays. Over the past two seasons, Stone has produced the third-best PFF coverage in the FBS. He’s been responsible for minimal big plays downfield, and he made more plays on the ball (11) than first downs allowed (9) while also allowing the lowest yards per coverage snap among safeties (0.25). And he did it at 19 and 20 years old."

Eric Weddle’s retirement leaves the Rams in need of some thump and play-making ability at safety. Stone can provide both.
