Sheldrick Redwine is another one of my guys. Had him at 101 overall. He will help replace Jabrill Peppers. Big nickel, can play two-deep. I like his skill set a lot.

Sheldrick Redwine becomes the SIXTH player from The U on Browns roster.

#Miami EDGE Joe Jackson was consistently productive in his three seasons in college and was one of only seven active FBS players in 2018 with at least 24.0 career sacks.
Solid value in the 5th for the #Cowboys.

Do you know why the #Seahawks drafted Travis Homer? Because he can hit HOME(R) RUNS.

Like the Seahawks Travis Homer flier. Miami RB is super young (21), ran a 4.48 and was impressive across the board at the combine. 2018 efficiency was shaky, but YAC was good. Good depth/developmental RB
