50. A.J. GREEN, WR BENGALS
Green’s production should increase after Cincinnati lost its second and third receivers in free agency. He’s a downfield threat who can highpoint the football and make contested catches.
49. Reshad Jones

49. RESHAD JONES, S DOLPHINS
The Dolphins aren’t afraid to position Jones in the deep middle on passing downs, but his true value comes as an extra defender in the box. He’s a tough player who takes on blocks violently and can also blow up plays in the backfield with his explosiveness off the edge.
48. Jamie Collins

48. JAMIE COLLINS, LB PATRIOTS
Collins wears a lot of hats for the Patriots defense: He’s asked to play man coverage, drop into zone, defend the run and blitz the passer. And he does all of those jobs well. He’s a key cog in Bill Belichick’s ever-evolving defensive machine.
47. Todd Gurley

47. TODD GURLEY, RB RAMS
He’s only 21 and is coming off a 1,100-yard, 10-touchdown season despite missing three games and running behind an inconsistent line. Gurley could lead the league in rushing in 2016.
46. Brandon Marshall

46. BRANDON MARSHALL, WR JETS
If Ryan Fitzpatrick ever lands his eight-figure salary with the Jets, he’ll have Marshall to thank. The hulking receiver bailed out Fitz countless times last season. He uses his size and ball skills to outmuscle cornerbacks on 50/50 balls.
45. Jason Verrett

| Jason Verrett |
45. JASON VERRETT, CB CHARGERS
Verrett is the complete package at corner. He can run with the fastest receivers and get physical with the strong ones. He needs to stay healthy to play up to this ranking.
44. Eric Berry

44. ERIC BERRY, SS CHIEFS
The man came back from cancer and landed on the All-Pro team the following season. There’s nothing he can’t do on a football field.
43. Geno Atkins

43. GENO ATKINS, DT BENGALS
It took more than a year, but Atkins is finally all the way back from the torn ACL he suffered in 2013. He was one of the most disruptive interior rushers in the league last season.
42. Andrew Luck

42. ANDREW LUCK, QB COLTS
Luck struggled with his decision making in 2015. He was also playing with an injured shoulder and ended up going down for the season with a lacerated kidney after taking a beating behind a porous offensive line.
41. Gerald McCoy

41. GERALD MCCOY, DT BUCCANEERS
McCoy had a “down year” for his standards. He was also dealing with a painful shoulder injury and a broken hand but he racked up 8.5 sacks.
