Just ran this today with Fanspeak OnTheClock simulator using the Draftplex big board, User voted team needs, and Classic difficulty.

10 CB Patrick Surtain II - Alabama Lock down corner that should start day one.
44 OT Dillon Radunz - North Dakota State Slater was gone at 10. We met with Radunz at the Senior bowl. Mel Kiper ranks him the third best Tackle.
75 DL Alim McNeill - North Carolina State We have to upgrade our defensive line and McNeill would be a great addition.
99 LB Chazz Surratt - North Carolina Could next year be the last for Jaylon or LVE? Surratt is fast smaller Linebacker with good coverskills. Fits Dan Quinn's mold. Mel Kiker ranks him the third best ILB.


115 RB Kylin Hill - Mississippi State With all of our comp picks, I wouldn't be surprised if we take a RB and WR in the draft. We met with hill at the Senior Bowl.

Hill is a maturely built rusher that can have a lasting impact as both a rusher and pass-catcher out of the backfield. His body structure comes into play on runs as he has well above-average contact balance. His ability to withstand would-be tacklers is one of the bigger assets to his game overall. Hill doesn’t contain many different speed levels, as he hardly ever will be a running back that produces explosive plays in bunches. Hill is a running back prospect that can be aligned at various spots in formations and be utilized in those certain spots. Best in a zone-blocking scheme, he’s a runner that can get upfield to take advantage of creases that are made available to him. His density enables him to churn out tough yardage and finish carries with lots of intensity.




138 S Divine Deablo - Virginia Tech Great football name. At 6-3 226 I think he's big enough to be a dime LB.

Overall Summary:

In a safety class that lacks top-end talent, but quality depth, Divine Deablo fits in well as a day three developmental safety, who can find immediate success as a special-teams ace. While he does possess great versatility, Deablo’s ceiling in the NFL will likely rely on where he’s drafted. If Deablo is asked to play in the box, as a downhill player, and as a blitzer he could be a very good player in the league, but if asked to play single-high safety and cover numbers-to-numbers that could be an issue. While likely limited to a box-safety role, given his size, length, and instincts, a dime-linebacker role could also be an exciting prospect for the Virginia Tech safety. The former wide receiver is still developing as a pure-cover defensive back, but his traits and versatility, both on defense and special teams, will be highly valuable in the 2021 NFL Draft.
 
If we get a nice FS in the draft, I would be very good with this draft.
Surtain starts at CB, McNeil starts at NG. Radunz, Surratt, and Hill for the future.

These are the moves that make me ok with signing a Kazee, Allen, Hooker. If we address all of our other needs I’m ok with a vet at FS

Radunz maybe too high, Surratt too low, but there is a lot to like in this class.

I don't think the big boards on the simulators are too mature yet. The Draftplex seems to be the most realistic. Radunz has usually been gone by pick 44 which could be a sign that offensive lineman will be in demand early on.

All these simulations will vary. I haven't used that one, but have seen Radunz as a early 3rd rd pick on several I have worked with.

I've used some big boards that had top defensive tackles available on day three. It would be great but it's not very fun since there's no way it would happen. Last year they tightened up after NFL.com put their rankings up.

They used Neal similarly to how they would use Deablo
