The 2019 NFL Draft is underway in Nashville, and FTW’s lead NFL writer Steven Ruiz is grading picks and offering analysis on how each player will fit with his new team.
No. 28: Jerry Tillery, DT, Notre Dame
Analysis: This might be my favorite pick in the first round. Jerry Tillery is going to be a good run defender, but he’ll make his money in the passing game. He’s a big dude who knows how to play with leverage and use his powerful hands to push blockers aside. He should have been a top-15 pick, but the Chargers aren’t sweating it. They needed a defensive tackle and they ended up with one of the best in the class at 28.
