NFL Draft Gems: Ranking the Last 5 Picks at Number Four

1. Andrew Thomas (2020)

Offensive tackles, otherwise known as the unsung heroes in the trenches. There were question marks after his slow start to his NFL career, but Andrew Thomas has become one of the top tackles in the NFL. Although he's not protecting an elite quarterback, Thomas has worked his way into being a foundational piece for the New York Giants and a valuable player in the league. Look no further than the five-year, $117.5 million contract extension he signed in the summer of 2023. Thomas is elite at his craft, and for now, we have no problem ranking him as such on this list.

4. Anthony Richardson (2023)

Anthony Richardson has significant upside as a starting quarterback in the NFL. Before going down with a season-ending injury during his rookie campaign, Richardson was showing he belonged in the NFL after the Colts used their fourth overall pick in 2023 on him. Richardson has the arm strength and mobility to find success in the NFL. Once he gets accustomed to the league and begins to learn the game at a higher level, Richardson can skyrocket to the top of this list. 

Anthony Richardson NFL MVP Odds: +3000

3. Kyle Pitts (2021)

To this point in his young NFL career, we've been more concerned about the overall usage of tight end Kyle Pitts rather than his overall production. For whatever reason, former head coa Arthur Smith utilized Pitts more as a blocker than a receiving weapon, which is crazy when you look at his production as a pass catcher in college. Pitts still has elite upside as a tight end in the NFL, and we're basing this listing more on what we believe he can accomplish in the NFL in this new Atlanta offense.

Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl Odds: +3000

2. Sauce Gardner (2022)

We have no qualms about whether you want to rank Sauce Gardner at the top of this list or in the second spot. Gardner has been dynamite since entering the league two years ago out of Cincinnati and remains one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL. If you're looking for the definition of a lockdown corner, Gardner fits the bill and is a valuable weapon on one of the NFL's top defensive units. If the Jets can find some offense moving forward, Gardner's value on defense should continue to elevate his status in the league. 

Sauce Gardner Defensive Player of the Year Odds: +6000
