Matt Miller ESPN 7 round mock

I agree about the WR. But I disagree about the OL, at least in terms of our biggest need right now - LG. Kinnard is a very good prospect.

You disagree that it’s our biggest need?

Has us taking Lloyd in the first round as apparently our "biggest need" on defense is a LB. Call me silly, but the biggest hole is at DE.

1st - Lloyd, LB, Utah
2nd - Metchie, WR, Bama
3rd - Kinnard, OG, UK
4th - Bellinger, TE, SDSU
5th - Thomas, S, GT
5th - Evans, CB, Mizzou
5th - Jones, OT, Southern Utah
5th - Farrell Jr, DT, LSU
6th - McClain, DE, Auburn

We currently only have two LB’s that we know that can play.

Not a fan of a LB in the first when Green, Linderbaum and Wyatt are sitting there. All three would have bigger impacts IMO than Lloyd. Then in the 2nd you have a pure edge guy in Bonitto there (edge is your biggest defensive issue) and we go WR?

Kinnard in the 3rd is nice.

Flipping Metchie and Kinnard makes more sense to me. I think Kinnard is a 2nd rounder and Metchie a 3rd.

LB is a need but Im not keen on taking on that high. Where they play Parson kind of skews "need", he will probably be rushing from the edge frequently. However we need someone who can rush when we keep him at LB. That why I like Karlaftis the most out of edge players that could be within our range. He can rush from a 7 gap when you keep Parson at LB and he can rush from a 5 gap when you rush him.

If you replace Lloyd with Karlaftis, thats a solid top 3 rounds
