Go through and state some guys you absolutely love for us or absolutely hate for us.
Mine:
QB'- Bortles is the only one I'd use a 1st on. There's a few guys like Savage & Mettenberger that I might be ok using 2nd rd picks on, but only if we had an extra 2nd or multiple 3rds so we could still stockpile some talent at other more pressing positions. McCarron I'd be ok with in the 3rd or 4th. Murray I'm a little on the fence about but using a Saturday pick on him wouldn't make me mad. Wouldn't be opposed to using one of those 7ths on somebody that had some throwing talent and size.
RB/FB- Not all that excited about most of the RB's, but if we draft one on Saturday I wont cry about it. If we don't draft a blocking TE, getting one of the good FB's (Hewitt from Stanford is my fav) although Copeland or Prosch, or the OU kid would be fine as well. The OU kid gives you the bonus of being able to be a power RB in some sets as well as a blocker.
WR- Ton of talent at this position and unlike some of the Cabal here, WR IMO is an area of concern and a position we need to add to. I wouldn't want to draft one in the first unless they get stuck at 16, cant trade down and a WR is obviously the highest rated guy. Like a bunch of these guys. If somehow Marqise Lee made it to our pick in the 2nd, he'd be awfully tempting there. Odell Beckham is an explosive player and would give you a guy who could play at any of the 3 WR spots, plus be an explosive return guy. I'm not saying its my first choice (DL is, or trade down get extra picks and address defense is) but if we get stuck at 16, cant trade down or get decent value and draft this guy, it will help the team.
TE- Wouldn't draft one till final day, but like Fiedorowicz or Arthur Lynch a lot for us if they are available then. Both of them are outstanding blockers and have been coached by pro style offensive people, so they have some NFL route tree experience. Both also have great hands and good size. Eventually one of them would be the #2 TE with Escobar once Witten is done (which might not be much longer).
OL- Am assuming the top 3 are gonna be gone, but if Zach Martin is there he'd be a nice add and could probably start out at RG (and be an upgrade) and eventually man the RT spot. Like a lot of the guys who could be had in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. Both Tenn Tackles I like. Mewhort, Billy Turner, Marcus Martin, Cameron Fleming, Trai Turner. If Brandon Thomas lasts till day three he'd be a value add there. Might not help us this yr but kid can play. The Arkansas kid swanson is interesting if we could get him day three. Could backup at C and G.
DL- Love Barr and Donald, but am assuming both will be gone when we pick. Like Jernigan for us next to Melton and he's a guy who could double teams, freeing up the other guys. he also could play 1 tech or 3 tech IMO. Like Lawrence and Crighton for us a lot. Kareem Martin or Marcus Smith in round two or early three. Chris Smith and Cassisus Marsh could be day three finds at DE. Ealy isn't my favorite but he would be ok if we traded down first. James Gayle is interesting. Like Daquan Jones as a 3rd/early 4th rd guy who could help at 1 tech DT. Ego Ferguson is interesting. Dominique Easley if healthy could be really good here, and he has position flexibility (like Ealy) and could play at probably any spot up front depending on down and situation. Caraun Reid I like for day three, same for Kyri Thorton and Ken Bishop. Jeoffrey Pagan could be a major college late rd sleeper and he could probably play a couple spots on our DL too.
LB- Really like the idea of Shazier in round one if we move down. Very safe pick IMO and should be really good in this scheme. Liked Telvin Smith and Christian Jones for us but they both flunked the piss test. Late rd backup LB that I think might be interesting is the Penn St Carson kid, most of their LB's come in and do well in the NFL. Kirksey and Zumwalt are interesting, like Kevin Pierre Louis on day three too.
CB- Could see us taking one on day three, honestly haven't spent much time looking at them because I don't see us doing much there.
Safety- Love Jimmie Ward, like Deonne Bucannon, just not sure I'd want either in the first, and both may sneak into the late first round. Jemea Thomas could be a day three possibility. Don't really like Haha Dix or Pryor that much, and certainly wont be thrilled if we take either at 16.
