Been working for awhile and still need some pro day info but here goes. Assumptions: team as is. Team really thinks we have RT covered (or else are spreading major smoke screen). Comp picks 5,6,7,7. Draft ratings to justify picks Rang, Walter Football, and NFL draft scout. Round one: Personal preference trade down. Some quality players should be available and someone may want to come up. Richardson if there is so much of a BPA I would take and redo everything. In absence of trade Courtney Upshaw OLB Bama. He played the position, produced, good work ethic. I don't think he will be the rush monster we want. I don't see that guaranteed person in the draft.(derrick thomas type production). I think he will be solid and settle in between a Bryan Thomas/ Pace production. That is why I prefer trade down. 2) Mohamed Sanu WR Rutgers Pro day low 4.4 answered only question of speed. 3) Markelle Martin FS OK St. Injury preventing workout. Many sites list him this low. If gets healthy and great work out may have to reverse round two and three positions and go for WR like Criner, Childs, Toon, McNutt. 4) No need for RB........Tebow 5) Brandon Hardin S Org St. GG favorite and now healthy. previous corner, size speed. Want to double up on larger safeties who can match up with tight ends. So much now is match ups you need to cover four WR sets (multiple corners) vs NE double tight end big sets. 5 comp) Kevin Kroger TE Mich/ Rhett Ellison TE USC. Need blocking tightends that also are big enough to present underneath match up problems. Both big schools big games bright lights and experienced. Ellison has NFL bloodlines and played fullback senior year giving versatility. 6 comp) Levi Adcock OT/OG OK St many sites list him 6-7. Good experience. Could compete. I still think we need help but if team confident in what we have will wait this late. Adcock gives some versatility as college LT. 7) Gerrell Robinson WR Ar St. Possession receiver. came on late good hands and size matters with our QB accuracy. 7) Sean Richardson SS Vandy. Multi year starter size decent speed smarts. leading tackler should also help special teams. 7 comp) Joe Lowery OG / Antoine McClaine OG Clemson both noted good pulling LG. 7 comp who ever Westhoff wants
Good read Every time I see Upshaws name now in my mind I picture him being a Bryan Thomas type - good but not spectacular. Barring a moajor tumble by someone like Richardson I think Upshaw is more and more looking like the Jets pick
