I really like 4 of these guys.
Ironically it is the CB everyone loves I am not that big on.

I think he could be a solid player but ta 5'9" he is gonna be limited and drafting a guy to stash should be reserved for later round guys or QBs.

Yeldon is my main draft value. I think he could fall all the way to 91 and man he is a beast.
But I also like the LSU guard as a 3rd or 4th round guy that could beat out Leary.
The WR is a developmental guy but could keep you from needing to extend TWill down the road.
And you let those two battle for time motivating them to work.

And Smith might be better on film than Dupree. He obviously drew lesser blocking but man he seemed to make more plays too.
The only reason most people know who he is because they watched film on Dupree and saw this skinnier dude making plays.
Not a bad option as a pure 3rd down pass rush guy. Dallas loves getting guys who can go 20 snaps at 110%.

I see the similarities although I think Jarrett gets in the backfield more than Bishop. Just better movement skills, IMO.

I think Bishop could be a good 1 tech in this scheme but I see higher upside with Jarrett and some ability to play the 3 in some situations.

I agree - Grady Jarrett is a monster dehind the LOS, whereas Bishop may have better lateral quickness, i just don't see the playmaking behind the LOS as TFL. Grady Jarrett would become a solid starter for a decade..

T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama

The skinny: I'm hearing more and more buzz about Yeldon of late, which is interesting considering he's not a newcomer to the national scene having played a prominent role for Alabama. The thing is, Yeldon has often been left out of discussions about the top running backs in the draft. I think the team that lands him in the middle rounds will be very happy with the value he provides, though. He's a talented rusher with good receiving ability. Yeldon is productive, and I was on hand last month for his pro day, where he ran very well.

I will be very happy with Yeldon at #91 - real good value and a bargain in draft position..........

I think Grady J is teetering around the 2nd rd tail end and mid 3rd rd. Which means our second rd pick to acquire him.
Ifo is hard to squeeze in when you need a contributor at that position in 2015, he would bump a backup LBer, or Olineman in this years draft as it is playing out in these last couple of weeks.
I am still dizzy reading that fans see us drafting a QB early on this year, do we need it? Of course we do if you have any doubts watch the first Washington game 2015 with Weeden behind center.
Just me spitballing but if one of the Oline drops in the first we should really pause and consider.
Humphries, Cann, TJ, all are real talents.
As some of you already know Darius Philon, Bobby Richardson are some other names you some be aware of for the boys and would fit the Steal category.
