#8 Stanley Morgan, WR, Nebraska with the Bengals
This kid is another one of those highly talented receivers, who didn’t get drafted due to off-field concerns. Morgan was arrested for marijuana possession back in 2017, but outside of that there are no reports on anything about him as a teammate or player.
The thickly built six-foot receiver has experience running a full route run, which led to almost 2000 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns over the last two seasons. He climbs the ladder to attack the ball at its highest point, showing excellent concentration at the point of the catch and no fear of what’s coming over the middle of the field.

Nothing about him athletically might be elite, but he has adequate speed, makes plays on all three levels and shows great effort as a blocker. Outside of A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd the Bengals' wide receiver depth chart is wide open, especially with the inconsistencies from former first-round pick John Ross. Morgan can run a lot of routes and shows great downfield adjustments to the ball, which mixed well with what Andy Dalton likes to do.
#9 Daniel Wise, DL, Kansas with the Cowboys
Players coming from a basketball-centric school like Kansas usually get overlooked and I think that’s what happened with this kid. The brother of Patriots defensive end Deatrich Wise, Daniel recorded ten sacks and 28 tackles for loss over the last two year. For a big body he is very fluid with good flexibility and he shows some sudden traits.
Wise allows offensive linemen to get under his pads too much and he would highly benefit from working on a spin move to counter his initial rush, but I think Wise was one of the more intriguing interior D-linemen on day three. He lined up on the edge a whole lot, beat guys across their faces on stunts and even dropped into shallow zones occasionally. I believe he has the jolt in his hands and doesn’t mind throwing his body around to create a mesh in the run game, plus he pushes linemen back into the quarterback’s lap.
The Cowboys already drafted an upfield D-tackle in UCF’s Trysten Hill, but Wise should become a part of the rotation after being somewhat limited by the Jayhawks’ scheme, where he wasn’t allowed to shoot through gaps.
