QB

Switch Locke and Grier and I also like Stidham at #5.

Hyatt #5

He would be 8 or 9 on my list.

I've got Lindstrom 3rd, Bradbury 1st and Ford 2nd.

Edge

I've got Bosa/Allen/Sweat/Ferrell as my top 4. You like Banogu alot. No Christian Miller at the bottom of the list.

DL- I've got Williams/Oliver/Wilkins/Lawrence as my top 4 IDL. Gotta move Simmons and Tillery down some due to injury. My sleeper is Trysten Hill. Man this is a deep IDL class.

LB- Same, I thought this class was really weak this yr. Although White and Bush are going to be studs. Bush reminds me of Bobby Wagner. Mack Wilson is really talented but needs alot of work.

CB's I've got Greedy #1 Long #2 Mullen 3. Murphy 4. I dropped Murphy down because he is so small and didn't run fast at all. Although he's the cleanest CB in this draft and a great college CB I think due to his size he's going to be injury prone. Love guys further down your list that were in my mock plus Layne and Isiah Johnson. Over all a deep class without a true headliner. If I had to pick a guy to bust it would be Baker.

Safety- I haven't studied the Safeties but I like Rapp and Thornhill alot. Not a fan of Thompson. The best safety I saw last yr wasn't draft eligible. Delpit.


Once again great work and I will use these 2 posts as a refrence point come draft night/nights/day. Sad that God'ell scewed up the draft for us diehard draftniks.

You should come to the liveable forest on Saturday of the draft for our annual crawfish boil. It's alt of fun. PM me

8) Rashan Gary, Michigan

What is Gary's best position in the pros? 3-Tech? 5-Tech? Someone's bound to tap into that ability, if deployed correctly.

 

[Lucky]

I really like Alex Barnes, K-State. He's not a lead back, so he won't make any top 10 lists. But, he can run inside, catch out of the backfield, block, and play special teams. Like a more talented Alfred Blue. I could see the Texans taking a shine to Barnes.

 

[Lucky]

Although White and Bush are going to be studs.

I expect one of these guys in a Steelers uni next year. They really need a replacement for Shazier in that defense.

And a new HC.

And a new HC.

Tomlin will be fine once AB is gone. The Steelers are usually a tight knit bunch.

I thought he was supposed to be fine when Bell was gone.

Tomlin's teams have classically underachieved the last 4 or 5 yrs.

Bell should have been paid. When you don't pay guys that produce, it makes everything a little tougher. That's management, not Tomlin. Still 54-25-1 is a pretty good 5 year run. I guess everyone but the Patriots are classic underachievers.

 

[rmartin65]

I really like reading your work- one can tell you actually watch the games and not just parrot/re-shuffle rankings found on-line.

Excuses,

Speaking of the Pats, do they pay their FA's?

The Steelers have the talent to rival the Pats. The difference is Belichick owns Tomlin. Don't take it so hard, Belichick owns most coaches.

 

[WolverineFan]

What is Gary's best position in the pros? 3-Tech? 5-Tech? Someone's bound to tap into that ability, if deployed correctly.

He has the skill set of a 3-tech but the body and athleticism of a 7-tech. UM wanted to play him at DT but he refused. He knows the money is at DE so that's what he wants to play.

Not sure who is going to tap into him though. Don Brown and Greg Mattison have been churning out NFL DL for decades. If they couldn't coach him up I'm not sure who can.

I think his best bet would be to go to a team like Seattle that will deploy him as a 5-tech in a 4-3. Maybe try and use him like Michael Bennett.

This guy has the athleticism to be Donald and brain of Haynesworth.

 

[WolverineFan]

This guy has the athleticism to be Donald and brain of Haynesworth.

He's actually a very smart kid. Gets great grades, good teammate, never in trouble off the field. Started his own sports agency and already has a couple clients.

Clemson actually offered him $300k the week of signing day and he and his mom turned them down.

The refusing to play DT thing is the only negative thing I've heard about him.
