Alright. I have definitely given up on the Mitch King dream. I doubt we have any interest in him, unfortunately.
Anyway, again, I think we trade up. 11 draft picks is too many. We should trade our two non-comp 5th rounders and our 4th rounder to move into the bottom of the 3rd/top of the 4th, and do something like this.
_
2nd round: Rashad Johnson, FS Alabama 5'11, 200
-Chung, Delmas and Smith are gone by now, IMO, but Johnson is still a great value here. Some are saying Hamlin should play FS, but 8 INTs with the 2nd best passrush is a big problem, and Johnson helps us there.
3rd round (Cleveland): Jason Phillips, ILB TCU 6'1, 239
-Competes with Brooking for playing time. Reportedly a motor/fighter type, which we need.
4th round (Detroit): Terrance Taylor, NT Michigan 6'0 310
-He's the prototypical 3-4 NT. It allows to play Ratliff all along the front 3-4--not just as NT. Rat can still start but Taylor allows him to rest or move around.
early 4th round (hypothetical trade): David Veikune, LB Hawaii 6'2 257
-This one might be a bit of a stretch, but it's the kind of pick we like to make in the 4th. He's a super quick, aggressive player and did 35 225 lifts. He only ran a 4.86, but he might be a good project at either LB spot.
5th round (comp): Mohamed Massaquoi, WR Georgia 6'2 195
-An impressive physical specimen with good intangibles with questionable hands. Sounds like Miles Austin a few years ago.
6th round (Miami): Marlon Favorite, DT LSU 6'1 310
-Put him at NT and DE. Supposedly a good character type.
6th round (comp): Jahi Word-Daniels, CB Georgia Tech 6'0 197
-Can always use more
7th round (Detroit): Matt Slauson, G/T Nebraska 6'5 310
-Brings new competition to potentially two spots
7th round (Comp): Garret Reynolds, T North Carolina 6'8 310
-A project at one of the tackle spots
