My choices at #18

[tm1119]

1. Hankins
2. Lewan
3. Richardson
4. Fisher
5. Warmack


Pretty much where I'm at as of right now....This is assuming Spencer is retained of course.

Can't really go wrong with Cooper or Warmack. I'm keeping my eye on Warford as well, he absolutely dominated Richardson when he played him.

I like Warford also.

Depending on how things fall, I go safety in the 2nd and guard in the third. I think you can still get a good player there.

100% agree on both.

Of the remotely realistic players at 18, my list would be:

1. Jonathan Hankins
2. Sheldon Richardson
3. Dion Jordan
4. Barkevious Mingo
5. Ezekiel Ansah
6. Chance Warmack

Trade down.

I think 18 is too high for Jonathan Cooper. I agree, as much as I'd love Kenny Vaccarro, there are just too many really good safeties in round 2.

We have zero need at corner and inside linebacker, if we like parnell no need at OT, not 1st round level need at wr, te, or rb.

So that leaves us with OLB, DE, NT, G, C, S. I'd take BPA from that list, or trade down.

He had one DUI, I would hardly call that a character issue.

PROSPECTS WHO HAD A MIXED BAG

DE Dion Jordan, Oregon – When he was on the field, Jordan looked like his usual future-first-rounder self, but he was forced to the sidelines on several occasions, presumably because of a lingering shoulder injury that has limited him much of the season. With his lanky frame, durability will be a question mark moving to the next level and one of the few negatives against the athletic pass rusher

crossanother one of the list

[intelmax]

Matt Elam if he comes out, im telling you guys this guy can cover slot receivers and can lay the boom on backs. Put him at free safety and move sensabaugh back to strong and all of a sudden we are lloking ok at the safety position. Then draft O-line in the second round

[dart]

I am looking at Sharrif Floyd*, DT, Florida

[intelmax]

Can he play in the 3-4 though?

Not only that, but I'd prefer an actual LINEMAN that can rush the pass. Our outside rush is fine, we need rushers up the middle.

Hell, I'd be happy with a NG that can push the center backwards. No fancy moves, no spin moves, etc... just a pure hardcore bull rush forcing the QB to take a step back so that Ware/Spencer can get the strip/sack.

A DE that can do that would be nice as well.

Same can be said for vaccaro. He covers the slot as well and in my opinion hits harder than Elam. Only thing that worries me is he doesn't always wrap up.

If it isnt a player like Wilfork, Ngata DL round one its a waste.
