1st Round- Malik McDowell DT/DE Mich St- Malik was a top 10 prospect going into this year, but his production dropped off making him available towards the end of the 1st. He's a physically imposing 6'6 275 with a twitchy 1st step and an array of pass rush moves. His best attribute might be his long arms and his ability to use them along with heavy violent hands to abuse o line man. As with most guys his height he needs to learn how to keep his pad level down on a more consistent basis and there were some questions on his motor this past year, but when he is on there aren't many d lineman in this class that are as disruptive. He can play LDE, 3 tech, and 1 tech along the line and the idea of him and Irving on the same line is pretty scary.
(this guy is a little annoying but this video is a good watch)



2nd Round- Cameron Sutton CB Tennessee- In a deep CB class Sutton is neither the biggest or fastest, but he's the picture of rock solid. 4 year starer in the SEC with 40+ starts. Extremely fluid athlete with quick hips and feet to mirror pretty much any WR. Turns his head to locate the ball and plays it in the air like a WR with great hands. Also 1 of the nations top punt returners with multiple TD's.


3rd Round- Chris Godwin WR Penn State- Not sure if he makes it this far but absolutely love this kid and think he can be great. 6'1 205 with a muscular frame and plays WR like a power forward. 2,000 yards and 16 TD's and 16 YPC his Soph and JR years without a anything close to a great QB at Penn State. Great hands, consistently high points the ball and snatches it out of the air. Big catch radius too, able to turn, locate and adjust to the ball while in the air. If you didn't watch the rose bowl I suggest to watch him dominate USC below.

4th Round- Dawuane Smoot DE Illinois- Smoot is a bit of a 1 trick pony at the moment, but that 1 trick he does well is a speed rush off of the edge. Along with a quick burst he shows the ability to flatten out and bend around the corner with balance and athleticism. Needs to add strength and learn counter moves but there's definitely some nice traits to work with for a mid round pick.

5th Round- Brad Seaton OT Villanova- Small school but has experience with 28 starts at LT. Big guy at 6'6 310 that is better suited for RT. Was a key anchor on a line that blocked it's way to 212 rushing yards per game last season. Plays with a nasty streak and is the type of o lineman that you can tell enjoys hitting people. If you watch the video below it's pretty funny how he just tosses the small school DE's around. Also like that he went up against possible 1st/2nd round DE pick Kpassagon everyday in practice. Definitely worth a shot as a developmental RT.

I am intrigued by Sutton coming off the injury, OTOH doubt they take McDowell, matter of fact I wouldnt be surprised if they revisit Sheldon Richardson.

Sutton needs to improve his tackling but I think if he's there in round 2 he's who we will take. I wouldn't be mad at that.

What do you mean by revisit Richardson out of curiosity?

Can Richardson play DE here? Seems like he'd be a 3 tech here.

They were supposedly interested so I think he is pretty scheme diverse. Think they balked at the price which has probably dropped because Richardson's act has worn thin. Doubt Romo would be part of any trade. I am thinking a 3rd would be about right.

Do you think it's a good idea to draft a Malik at DT two years in a row? :)

Ahh ok, yeah that would be great to get Richardson before the draft so we wouldn't have to be so d line focused. Don't know about the logistics behind it but wonder how possible a Romo for Richardson swap would be?
i think thats the trade that will happen,romo for richardson

Virtually 0 chance this happens IMO. Tony doesn't want to go to that dumpster fire of an organization and who can blame him? That said....I would love it, but it's simply not going to happen.

I'm intimately familiar with your 1st round pick. I'm an MSU alum and have seen every single one of McDowell's snaps. He can dominate when healthy, but this past year he was very banged up from constant double teams. He's a bit of a tweener. Too small to take the pounding most any NFL DTackle has to endure. However, MSU tried to switch him to D.End this season but it got derailed because the team was so thin at D.End due to injuries and two upperclassmen getting kicked off the team, that he had to move back inside for the most part. That's when he started drawing the double teams and couldn't hold up physically. He's got a good motor, he's a tough kid but I don't see him as a fit for Marinelli's D. This past weekend, I was watching the Seattle/Atlanta game and the player he REALLY reminds me of is Michael Bennett of the Seahags. Little undersized, but a tough guy who is country strong.


I REALLY like your 2nd and 3rd round picks. The kid from UT is damn solid all the way around and I think he could step right in and help right away. Godwin of PSU is a total stud. I watched about 5 PSU games and he didn't drop one pass and made some circus catches this year that were eye popping. That said, I don't know if we can get him in bottom part of the 3rd. I think he could go low 2nd to mid 3rd....but just a hunch.

You sure you want Richardson? He has already been suspended 4 games for weed.

As talented as Sheldon Richardson is, he is a straight up moron. He's also one strike away from a 10 game suspension. No thanks.
