Merchantmen grab CB, WR, FB to finish their 2089 draft
The 2089 draft is about half a round away from finished. The Maassluis Merchantmen kept their sixth and couple of seventh round picks to increase their class to five rookies. The new names: cornerback Andres Provo, wide receiver Harris Wilkerson and fullback Mel Kinney.

23-year old Provo is the 10th highest graded cornerback in this draft class. Scouts think he's one of the most developed players at his position in this class. On first look, he can play zone defense, man-to-man, support the run and has stamina. Maassluis had only 4 cornerbacks on roster, Provo's chances to make the final 53-men roster are pretty good.

23-year old Wilkerson is considered by the Merchantmen staff as a promising receiver. Probably lacking the route running skills to get open and with big-play ability slightly below Merchantmen standards. But otherwise very promising. Wilkerson will be the 6th wide receiver on roster.

22-year old Kinney comes in as one of the four players the Merchantmen draft war room tagged with an upside of 100 out of 100. Their brand new offensive coordinator called Kinney potentially the best blocking fullback in league history, with the ability to find open lanes to run through. He'll be the second fullback on roster.
