I'm not sure two of them are going to be there," Mayock said during a Friday conference call. "Charles Harris, I think, has picked up some steam. I would expect him to be gone before that. But if he was there, I think he'd be a great pick for them, especially from -- in addition to talent, he's got an awful lot of talent, and he gets in that three-point stance and he goes. He's a long guy, plays hard, got a great work ethic. He's really good off the field, high-character guy. If Charles Harris was there, I think he'd make a ton of sense.

"Takk McKinley from UCLA, you can say the same things about how hard he plays, what kind of kid he is. I think the concern is he's coming off shoulder surgery and had a couple concussions. So there are some medical issues around him. I think once you get past that, and most teams have, if he's there at 28, he makes some sense. He doesn't bend as well as Harris. He's a little stiffer, but he's really an explosive, straight-line player.

"And T.J. Watt, it's interesting, because he's only a one-year starter. He was a tight end. He had two knee surgeries in college. Didn't really get on the field as a starter until last year. He showed twitch, toughness, and quickness. He's got some length. The 4-3 teams think he can play 4-3. The 3-4 teams think he can play outside linebacker. Obviously he's got some bloodlines, which are legit. He plays really hard. I've got him in the second round, but if you're sitting there in the first round and you've got to have that position, T.J. Watt can play."

Would love to get Harris and McKinely and Watt in a trade down if we could.

I'd take Harris because of high character high effort.
McDowell is awfully tempting but character is a big flag

The high work ethic, high character vouching by Mayock is an x-factor for me. Sound like a bright guy too.

I'm totally ok with Watt at #28 and I don't think it's a reach

I love Harris. People are just scared because they think of the the bad past DE's coming out of Mizzou.

Mizzou has produced a lot of good pass rushers in the last few years.
