Just a look at some names right now of guys we could that could go in that mid first round range.
Derrick Harmon, DT Oregon
Could be DT2 in this draft. Gives me a Muhammad Wilkerson vibe. Very good size and length for a 3T (6'5 310-315). Should be a disruptive player day 1 with upside to be a Williams/Madubuike caliber 3T
Nic Scourton, DE, Texas A&M
Rugged edge who is equally strong against the run as he is a pass rusher. Could be a Danielle Hunter type DE. He is the player right now you hope Kneeland is in 3 years
Luther Burden, WR, Missouri
Interesting WR prospect who alot of mocks have in the top 10 right now. I dont know about that personally. Is he a #1 WR in the NFL?. I don't know about that, but he would be lethal #2 here who can threaten every level of the field. Burden's stock will be an interesting watch because he is one of those guys that could get undervalued or overvalued
Ashton Jeanty, HB, Boise State
Your 2016 over correction. Not to say Jeanty isnt an excellent prospect and would instantly improve our running game. Excellent combination of vision, balance and speed. He'll probably run for 1,300 yards next year wherever he is drafted
Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Freak of nature who supposedly ran a sub 5.0 40 at 360 pounds. He is listed at about 340 pounds now. Excellent run defender with a quick first step to go with rare power. He has some pass rush production at Michigan but will need to develop more of a plan to be a pass rusher in the pro's
Malaki Starks, S, UG
Versatile S. Exceptional athlete with adequate TO production. Can play CF, cover the slot, and play in the box in run support. Could be a star, or could a good at everything, great at nothing guy.
James Pearce JR, DE, Tennessee
Pearce is an interesting player. Smallish right now at 245 pounds, but has the frame to grow and should be able to play at 260ish without sacrificing his athleticism. Its worth nothing DeMarcus Lawrence was 245 pounds when we drafted him. He has alot of star DE traits though. I like him more if we are drafting past 15. Scourton if we are picking higher than 15
Walter Nolan, DT, Ole Miss
Explosive penetrator at 3T. Where Harmon gives me a Muhammad Wilkerson vibe, Nolan gives me a Madubuike vibe. Maybe prime Ratliff. I prefer Harmon if we go 3T, but Nolan is an excellent consolation prize
Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
Starting to turn into the enigma of this draft cycle. Very interesting player. Huge and moves well for his size. Despite his size, is much better when asked to penetrate as opposed to anchor. Had great production in 2023 before being asked to anchor more in 2024. You may want him a little leaner in thr pro's to max him out.
Not listed because I think they are to likely to go top 10: Kevin Banks, Mykel Williams
Just missed: Jalon Walker
