This class was as ugly as next year's will be bright. In fact, I'm going to list the RBs for next year so you all don't wonder why I don't have a RB in the top 2 rounds. These are guys that could all threaten for the #1 spot this year.

This is a hot one, so I wanted to give everyone plenty of time with it. For those that aren't familiar with my process, I track players through their entire college career. I do not have access to anything beyond what announcers may say, and mostly I'm watching for specific skillsets that are valuable to me. These change over time, but not by a lot. My actual process of watching film has grownby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I think they're hot on odunze. I am too. Kid has the right mentality. Nabers and Harrison will get taken by pick 6. Alt goes to Tennessee simply because it's an autopick. The first 7 picks are pretty locked in. Either AZ or SD will trade out. My guess is AZ with SD and NY taking a WR. If AZ takes the WR then SD trades out because they need a TE or ORT and can get a WR later. So Atlanta iby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I mean... it would be weird but everything else has been written lol. That said, I'm a fan of this kid. He's a target for me in that range and he could be a total steal. I like Maryland and Pitt DBs because I trust the coaching and recruiting.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm into my grading ... Not done but started. I have 9 top ten grades just on offense without fuaga, bowers, or mccarthy. Fuaga and bowers just miss. I have 3 on defense. We're gonna be really close to a top ten talent and we're not going to draft this high for a while. I don't know if they want OT or WR, but I'm betting they take their shot. If it's me I'm trading next yeby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Big thing Im seeing this year is that the combine couldn't fit all the needed WRs ... and RBs oddly enough. The Yale kid ... I have nothing on him since he was down in the postseason ... so I'll basically be stealing your ranking. lolby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Just busy finishing up my lists for the offensive side of the ball.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
McClellan and Marshawn Lloyd are the same guy to me. McClellan ran a 4.71 40 ... jumped poorly ... but he was coming off a foot injury. He could not have been training for any of that at the level needed. He may fall to the 6th or 7th, even go undrafted. If I had to choose straight up ... I'd choose Lloyd. If I had to choose Lloyd in the 3rd vs McClellan undrafted I'll consider McClellan aby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
If I'm the Bears in this draft, I trade down a bit and land an OT ... take the extra picks and lock in a young WR in round 2 or 3 to learn behind Allen, then focus on D. I'd trade up for any of the top 4 WRs. They're all top 5 talent in my opinion on a regular year.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com

He's now bucky brooks' #1 edge.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks for the pff grade ... I like having those ... Kinda what I saw? I think I have him early to late 4th. Definitely better against the run. Got beat in coverage at the senior bowl a bit. Athletic enough. If I had known the pff grade I might have moved him higher ... but in truth this class isn't that great. The best safeties are still in school.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
My 4. Latu. Dude came back from being medically retired. Pearsall. Maybe the best catch ever. One handed back handed while getting drilled. Fiske ... a windmill of horror. Cole Bishop.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
He's my top edge. Top 5 talent that slides in the draft due to high end talent and QBs ... But the idea that he's 3rd off the board at his position is off.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com

and I have him in the late 3rd round, but likely around pick 115 because my grades skew high. He's around my 16th CB. Pick 100 sounds okay. 40-64 MCHG 0 S Sanirstil 5-10 182 Sr. (moved from offense) 5th still my guy. Though he's a slot and I would have had him at S ...

2nd round?by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah that's pretty solid. I have my specific alterations but that looks like the standard composite I'm seeingby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I do by position ... Then the day before the draft I'll post my top 2 rounds which ends up being around 85 players as I'm friendly in my grades (I assume each player gets drafted by the right team)...by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Biggest sleeper is Elijah Jones for me. Then MJ Devonshire and Tarheeb Still. Daquan Hardy I considered a slot safety but he's in the mix too ... Elijah Jones is tall long and fast, and somehow not being listed often among the top players. Devonshire and Still are from schools I like and they are feisty players. Pitt and Maryland make good DBs. Narduzzi is about man coverage so youby alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
CB is the one I love scouting most, because top CBs can exist anywhere ... Darious Williams was undrafted ... Josh Norman was a 5th rounder. So you keep tabs on everyone ... and try to find those who will use their athleticism at the next level to improve their technique over time.

Ive done LB, DT, Edge, S ... still have to do CB, then the whole offense.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think we use mammoths ... but I am a fan of true space eaters. Keep him fresh with rotation and he's on my list ... as far as the DWI ... I'd like to know more about it ... but it's not like Rashee Rice. He's a moron.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com

4 QBs 0 RBs 1 TE 5 OT 1 IL 4 WRs 4 Edges 2 DTs 4 CBs 0 S That's expectations of round 1 that I feel pretty confident in. 25 players. I doubt we take a QB but it gives an idea of where we are and how far we could drop.by alyoshamucci - RamsFootballFans.com
Safety is one of my favorite positions, but I have reeled myself back from putting high numbers on them because they are, like LB and RB, a devalued position. They mostly end up on special teams ... so I pay more attention to the test #s (same at LB) because they may just be gunners for most of their careers.
