First Round 2nd Overall: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State: Lattimore, Solomon Thomas and even Fournette get serious consideration here. But I think we go with the best player who also has the most upside and that's Malik Hooker. We know how critical the FS position in this new defense and I think Hooker will be every bit as good as a Earl Thomas who is obviously an outstanding player and I think Malik Hooker will be an Ed Reed GREAT player. We could then keep Jimmy Ward at CB. I hope we take Hooker at 2 and I have a gut feeling he will be the guy as well. I still do hope we can trade down if we can get good value.
2nd rd: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan: truth be told I do think we would have to move up 5-10 spots to get Davis but I do see some mock drafts having him land to us at 34 which would be so ideal, perfect and amazing. If Davis is gone I'm all in on Charles Harris. Or if we go WR I like Cooper Kupp and I'm really liking this Zay Jones kid more and more.
3rd rd: Akello Whiterspoon CB, Colorado: Really like this kid. Huge upside, would fit great in this D and he actually reminds me a lot of Rashard Robinson who looks like he will be a player. Jordan Willis could get a look here if we go DE or we could go for Peterman here but I hope....
4th rd: Jordan Nathan Peterman, QB, Pittsburgh: Really solid prospect who I compare to Jake Plummer who had some really good years under Mike Shanahan....
4th rd (comp pick): Terrell Bashan, DE, Ohio U: One of my favorite players in the draft. Yeah he's under 6 feet and that's the only reason he won't be a second or third round pick but this kid is an absolute player. I think he's a poor man's Dwight Freeney. Just a really good football player.
5th rd: Marlon Mack, RB, South Florida: We will take a RB just a matter of where. If Alvin Kamara is available in the 4th rd I think/hope we can jump on him. Mack is a solid prospect and good fit in the scheme.
5th rd: Dalvin Tomlinson, DT, Alabama
6th rd: Elijah Lee, OLB, Kansas State
6th rd: Aviante Collins, OT, TCU
7th rd: Avery Moss, DE, Youngstown State
7th rd: Damontae Kazee, CB, San Diego State
As always I appreciate the feedback...
