A few players lingered on the draft board at moments when they had no business of being available in the 2019 NFL Draft. It’s like that every year, with unexpected falls down draft boards. This year, the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals seem to be taking advantage of these falling prospects, as they have managed to snag good value at seemingly every twist and turn of this year’s draft.

Below is a list of the NFL's top five slot receivers through 13 weeks of NFL action. Coming in at number five, we have the Jacksonville Jaguars ‘ second-year receiver, Dede Westbrook. Westbrook has taken 90% of his snaps from the slot, which is the most of any receiver, and he has racked up 525 slot receiving yards. With the arrow pointing up on the former second-round pick, it’s not an inconceivable notion that Pettis winds up among the NFL’s best receivers overall after 2019, and not just out of the.

Here’s a look at nine of the best selections from Day 3, which included a handful of good value picks.

Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State

Cardinals, fourth round, 103 overall

When you think of slot receivers in the NFL, the mind often conjures an image of a 5-foot-8 speedster who is a bit of a one-trick pony. But could the receiver-needy Detroit Lions opt to go an. NFL Draft 2019: UMass' Andy Isabella can be the prime example of slot receivers' growing value The ultra-productive Isabella has polished skills and had huge games against top competition. In 2019, 56.9% of receiver targets went to players lined up in the slot, up from 51.8% in 2016. It's fairly universal, too, rather than one or two outlier teams pumping up the numbers. Eighteen teams saw more than 55% of their wideout targets go to players in the slot, and only three (Tampa Bay, Dallas, and Carolina) ended with more passes out.

Kliff Kingsbury is ready for the Air Raid offense. After drafting Kyler Murray and Andy Isabella, the Cardinals drafted a player whose college production and combine measurements were impressive. His final college season was monstrous, with 60 receptions for 1,318 yards and nine touchdowns.

Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, Florida

New Orleans Saints, fourth round, 105th overall

He’s a versatile defender that can defender tight ends and receivers in the slot. His athleticism is something of a question mark after his numbers came in at the combine. But he plays faster than he measured, and should help provide schematic flexibility in New Orleans.

Top Slot Receivers 2019 Nfl Draft

Hjalte Froholdt, OL, Arkansas

New England Patriots, fourth round, 118th overall

He admitted that at one point in his life, he wanted to be a thief in Paris. BUT DID THE PATRIOTS GET A STEAL?! (Sorry.) Froholdt could shape up to be a starting caliber interior lineman. Landing an impressive prospect (who is from Denmark) in the fourth round is the kind of thing Bill Belichick does in the draft.

Riley Ridley, WR, Georgia

Chicago Bears, fourth round, 126th overall

The Bears have a handful of small, shifty receivers in Anthony Miller and Taylor Gabriel. But Ridley could still contribute immediately in his rookie season. He’s a polished route-runner and a productive college player.

Jarrett Stidham, QB, Auburn

Patriots, fourth round, 133rd overall

Bill Belichick drafted a quarterback, which means he’ll be someone else’s frachise quarterback in three years while Tom Brady is somehow still on top of his game. In all seriousness, Stidham has tremendous upside, and the Patriots managed to buy low on a prospect who could develop into an impressive quarterback.

Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama

Cardinals, fifth round, 139th overall

Thompson was touted as a potential first round pick for his abilities as a ballhawk and hard-hitting tackler. He’s explosive and agile. It’s honestly hard to understand what he was doing in the fifth round.

Mack Wilson, LB, Alabama

Browns, fifth round, 155th overall

One dimensional inside linebackers are becoming less relevant in the NFL. But Wilson isn’t one-dimensional. He seems capable of playing all three downs in the NFL. If he can prove he’s competent in coverage while improving as a pass-rusher, this pick will be viewed as a steal.

Trace McSorley, QB, Penn State

Baltimore Ravens, sixth round, 197th overall

Best Slot Receivers Nfl Draft 2019 Predictions

I don’t think McSorley ends up being a starting quarterback. And I’m not totally sure he can even be a backup quarterback. If there’s one place he could do it, it’s Baltimore, where he can work under Lamar Jackson, who has some striking similarities with McSorley.

Chandler Cox, FB, Auburn

Miami Dolphins, seventh round, 233 overall

You’ve got to love the selection of a fullback. Few seventh round picks have a good chance of actually making their team, and yet Cox does. The Dolphins don’t have another fullback on the roster, and Miami offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea came from New England where they always carry a fullback. We may be looking at the fullback of the future in Miami.
