I have been using multiple draft boards and simulaling almost daily, so I have a feel for where players will be, but .. I will still provide a couple players for the opening spots.
You'll notice this is high end defense heavy ... this is not just because of need, this is a defensive draft.
My understanding is that we have 3 6ths ... so I'm working with that.
1)
Mike Hughes/Isaiah Oliver ... I believe one will be there. Fast twitch cover corners with good feet. I think we may take a CB later as well, but I don't have any intention of screwing around at a position this important. The only thing that would give me pause would be if Vea or Key was there, which I highly doubt. You simply can't buy that kind of size. Only so many humans are that big.
3)
Lorenzo Carter/Josh Sweat ... I think the raw physical guys go in round 2 and these guys slide. One should be there. I like Nwosu in the 4th as well. I like these guys getting up the field and in back pedal ... and I like their bend and long arms.
4)
Lowell Lotuleilei ... had a down year, but has massive arms and can take over a game. I think he's our nose and that he will be terribly underdrafted.
Justin Jones of NCState would be my secondary here ..
5)
Noteboom/Brandon Parker, OT ... can play the left or right ... seems to be comfortable in his stance and rarely oversets from everything Ive seen all year. This is a backup and redhsirt, gain strength and learn from the best type of pick.
6)
Jason Cabinda/Kenny Young ILB Guys that are not even rated as draftable on some sites ... Lol. I've been watching these kids for 3 years ... they can run a defense and work sideline to sideline, and I'd rather have Ogletree in Barron's old position.
6)
Tim Izzo/Durham Smythe .. I think Smythe is gone, but that Izzo is the same player. improvement over Carrier and someone to push Higbee (Who I liked more than most on this board this year)
6)
J'Mon Moore Mizzou WR/
Daurice Fountain NoIowa grooming talented projects.
Priority FA
Avante Maddox, CB Pitt.
I really want a RB, but I think I'll wait till next year or after the draft when there should be some hungry talent leftover.
