16 Zack Martin, OG/OT, Notre Dame
Aarton Donald is still the #1 pick for me here, but assuming he's gone, then I think you open things up a bit. For me, Martin makes sense for a lot of reasons and I absolutely don't shy away from him for fear of spending another first on the offensive line. If the trenches are a dominant strength for this team, you'll find that you can rotate a lot of other pieces and still have a formidable team.
47 Dominique Easley, DT, Florida
The ACL injuries scare me, but we have a little insurance in Melton. Easley is a first round pick without the injuries, so there's some value here. Love his quickness and the luxury of being able to rotate him in early on to keep the pressure on.
78 Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson
Bryant might end up surprising and going earlier, but there seems to be some question about his route running (Clemson basically tries to screen teams to death) - which is probably a valid question for Sammy Watkins as well, but it's not stopping people from projecting Watkins as a Top 10 pick. Bryant had a great workout at the combine, including showing reliable hands.
115 Justin Ellis, DT, Louisiana Tech
Massive man with good hands, quick feet and commendable motor for a guy his size. Love his quickness, which might give him a chance to overcome the bias the staff seems to have against big defensive linemen.
146 Michael Sam, DE, Missouri
If Sam is available at this point in the draft, it's an easy call. The guy has a great resume and faces top talent.
206 J.C. Copeland, FB, LSU
Murray seems to run his best with a FB on the field, Copeland is wrecking ball out of the bacfield at 5'11" 271 lbs.
208 Raijon Neal, RB, Tennessee
Productive and flying under the radar. Probably won't be there in the 7th, but this is the kind of guy I'd like to target.
215 Connor Shaw, QB, South Carolina
Stellar athlete for the position, which gives him a chance as a late round guy.
Comments welcome, of course.
