4. Natrell Jamerson, S

Natrell Jamerson showed Wisconsin isn’t just full of slow players like the rest of the country believes, as he ran a 4.4 40-yard dash at the combine. That was a great number for the safety and likely boosted his draft stock.

As it stands now, NFL.com projects him to be selected in Rounds 6 or 7.

His lack of experience at the position hurts him. He started out his career with the Badgers as a wide receiver before converting to cornerback during his sophomore and junior seasons. Then, he moved to safety for his final year and really seemed to find his groove.

In 2017, Jamerson made 51 total tackles, 3.5 of them for loss and recorded 1.5 sacks and two interceptions (one for a touchdown).

He also has experience on special teams which could help give him the edge to stick on a roster when those cuts are being made in the fall.
