209. CJ Dippre, TE, Alabama (6-5, 256)
Dippre doesn’t have a true distinguishing trait as a blocker or receiver, but he is good enough in both areas to have a fighting chance at a roster spot. His special teams experience will be an asset in camp.
Stackhouse is a naturally powerful human who can two-gap, eat up double teams and make run stops at the line. He will add early-down nose tackle depth to an NFL defense.
252. Luke Kandra, G, Cincinnati (6-5, 320)
Kandra is mechanical and upright in his movements, so it doesn’t always look pretty, but he finds a way, rarely allowing his quarterback to be pressured and routinely executing his assignments in the run game. If he lands in the right spot, he could stick on an NFL roster.
262. Corey Kiner, RB, Cincinnati (5-9, 209)
Kiner is a compactly built tackle breaker. He won’t impress with speed or burst, but his balance through contact will be his NFL ticket. Proving himself on passing downs will help his chances of making a roster.
268. Jay Higgins, LB, Iowa (6-0, 224)
Higgins’ lack of ideal speed and length will be more glaring in the NFL, but he consistently punches above his weight class. His instincts and toughness will help disguise concerns about his game, too. His game is reminiscent of Anthony Walker, who has been a productive pro when healthy.
