2. Gallimore could be strong value pick
Draft history is full of players who were Day 2 selections and made an impact. In Minnesota, just look at the play of second-round linebacker Eric Kendricks and third-round defensive end Danielle Hunter, both of whom were selected in 2015.
Kiper was asked about a handful of Oklahoma defensive players and singled out defensive tackle Neville Gallimore as a guy who can turn some heads, despite the likelihood that he won't be picked in the first round.
"Gallimore, as a 3-technique, he has the speed and quickness to be effective over the center," Kiper said. "He can wear a lot of hats for you, Gallimore can, because he has a lot of talent, is powerful, tested extremely well, is an athlete and can run like no other.
"If you can get him in the third round, with his versatility and how he gets into the backfield, he would be a really good third-round pick for somebody," Kiper added.
Gallimore recorded 30 tackles (18 solo) with 4.0 sacks, 7.5 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles in 14 games in 2019. He earned Second-Team All-Big 12 honors.
