I've been running mock simulations and I def have two players that I am taking after the 4th and late ~90% of the time.
Israel Abanikanda RB (4th RD)
I like Izzy's style of play. I think he does these subtle movements that allows him to keep a full head of steam moving forward. I am fully against getting a RB early in the draft unless it's Gibbs...in the second round. Izzy is one of the top backs going under-the-radar IMO. I am drafting him in the 4th round in probably 90% of my mocks. I usually draft another RB later depending on who's available (McIntosh, Gray, Vaughn, Ibrahim).
Michael Wilson WR (6/7th RD)
I was not aware of him until I was put on at the Senior Bowl. Dude has good size, quick feet, crisp routes, and just seems like he could play all over the field. Couple that with, a run-heavy scheme, and decent production despite missing some time with injury, dude was really flying under the radar. Game tape showed the same, along with his involvement and success in the Senior Bowl, I suspect he will probably move up to the 4th/5th round, where I would still be okay reaching (especially in the 5th). Stanford's other WR is a massive 6'3" 234lb SLOT WR. Interesting and productive player himself, I believe coaches were getting him to work out with the TEs at the bowl game. Something to keep an eye on.
Then there are players that I like, but it is always a reach to get them and they are gone by the next pick.
Calijah Kancey DT
He seems to always be going somewhere in the middle between our first and second picks. I think he probably has one of the more boom-or-bust profiles in the whole draft, but the tape great, but there is some clear red-flag limitations that could pop up in the NFL considering his size. But LOVE the upside. He's the equivalent to Hyatt on offense for me, the ceiling is super high, the floor is def low (higher for Hyatt though).
Tuli Tuipulotu DL
This is another prospect that has decent but not as high ceiling, but a much higher floor. I think this person can play the 3T in our system while also providing flexibility inside and outside. Seems strong against the run and closes well. Also unavailable by the time the 2nd pick comes up.
Rashee Rice WR
Rice seems to anywhere between the 2nd and 3rd round pick. Is Rice better than his projection? I'm not sure, but there is a really strong argument that his is better than his projections. The combine can really elevate his projection.
What say you? Who you got?
