Why do you have to take a NT at that point in the draft?  A prospect is still the same prospect.  It doesn't matter if you take him in the 1st or the 7th.  They don't magically get better just because you drafted them earlier.  

If I absolutely had to take a NT at #97(for reasons I don't really get), I would've taken Jordan Jefferson, instead, who made it to our pick in the 4th.  After that, NT's sunk like stones.  Kyristian Boyd, who has a near identical grade to McKinnley, could have been  had with our first pick in the 6th.  Fabien Lovett went undrafted entirely.  Why spend a 3rd on Jackson when you can get a similar prospect at the same position three rounds later?
