Interesting that he has Awuzie as a safety, Dawkins as a tackle, Moton as a guard and Harris, McKinley and Barnett listed as outside linebackers.

When you take a look at the OLBs, the only one listed as what you would consider to be a traditional 4-3 LB is Duke Riley. That shows that the position is a bit on the thin side, though guys like Reddick, Cunningham and Anzalone can easily play OLB.

I think he has overrated Eddie Vanderdoes and Nazair Jones. Carlos Watkins may be one of the most undervalued - he's rarely spoken about, and he's a very solid player.

It was hard to find much on this listing that was even remotely controversial. Very bland and plain.

If he is listing these guys in the order in which he thinks they will go -- and I'm not sure he is, but it kind of looks like it -- there is a little spice...

Il take Watt in Rd 1, Marcus Williams in Rd 2 and tankersley in Rd 3

Surely beginning to look like Watt and Jackson as the favorites with McDowell the darkhorse.

I don't like the idea of McDowell.

But I am not going to lie. If it actually happened, I would be morbidly curious.

No Desmond King, Jourdan Lewis, or Akhello Witherspoon.

I always find it inefficient to list LBs the traditional way.

Just list all edge players in one list (DEs and 3-4 OLBs) and all off-the-line LBs in another list (4-3 OLB, MLB and 3-4 ILB).
