I think we've all talked about our 1st round picks more than enough. Its pretty clear that its Decastro, Ingram, or Kirkpatrick with a few others scattered here and there.

So who do you like in the 2nd? Obviously, it depends on what position we go in the 1st so maybe 1 or 2 from each position you deem a need.

For me:
CB-
Casey Hayward- Vandy
Stephon Gilmore- South Carolina
Brandon Boykin- Georgia

OLB-
Vinny Curry- Marshall
Andre Branch- Clemson

OG-
Kelechi Osemele- Iowa State
Kevin Zeitler- Wisconsin

Can honestly say if we go with DeCastro, Kirkpatrick, or Ingram along with any of these 7(not of the same position) I would consider the draft an instant success.
 
Guards:
Brandon Washington | Miami
Kevin Zeitler | Wisconsin


Nose Tackles:
Josh Chapman | Alabama


5-Techs:
Billy Winn | Boise St.
Fletcher Cox | Mississippi St. (But he seems to be rising his way into the 1st)


Outside Backers:
Ronnell Lewis | Oklahoma
Bruce Irvin | West Virginia


Corners:
Chase Minnifield | Virginia
Coryell Judie | Texas A&M

I love the Boykin pick. He is a playmaker!

Heyward is a guy I really like as well. Really good player, may be available in the 3rd though.
 
If Ratliff is moving to DE, consider NT Dontari Poe or Alameda Ta'amu. These guys are both run stuffing 350lb beasts in the middle and project mid second round. I believe Poe is still a junior not sure if he declared just yet.

I watched Ta'amu in the bowl game and he looked pretty bad. Just a big body with no real skill set or motor.

I see Poe going in the first.

Shea McClellin (OLB) - Boise St.

I hear McClellin projected anywhere from the 2nd to the 5th, whenever the yokal sports talk radio guys in Boise talk to the draft gurus.

If McClellin shows well at the senior bowl and goes off at the combine (and he might) he could end up in the second.

The kid is a pretty impressive athlete and more importantly, a great ball player. He hurdled an OT this season enroute to a sack. It was crazy.

The kid is relentless. I'd take him in round two, no question.
