Group 1 -
1.  Andrew Billings - Dude is just a total load and you can tell this guy is strong as a bull.  I'm not sure where he falls in the draft, but I wouldn't hate this pick.
2.  Kenny Clark -  Great balance and body control.  I'm a bit concerned about his power, but another riser in this draft class.
3.  Sheldon Day -  He worked out well today and I see his stock rising.  I had him mocked in the 4th round, but its unlikely he makes it past round 2 at this point.  
4.  Javon Hargrave - Most people didn't have him high on the boards coming into draft season, but his stock has risen.  I like him as 3rd or 4th round stud.  With a deep class I can see value picks later in draft.

Group 2 -
*Update*
1. A'shawn Robinson - No way this dude is 20 years old he looks atleast 35 years old.  All jokes aside this guy has tons of upside and a body that will develop even more as he hits his physical prime.  
2.  Sheldon Rankins -  Really impressed by this kid



Players that I have reservations about:

1. Robert Nkemdiche -  This guy has red flags all day long.  Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane and his off the field issues are a huge red flag... pass
2.  Jarran Reed - I just dont like him at all for no particular reason.  He has the tools, but I don't think he offers the upside of most of the guys listed above.

Overall a great class and I think we should draft a guy in rounds 2-4 because of the depth of the class.  With as many developmental guys behind peko that we have on the roster.  One of which is Williams who I really liked in the preseason last year... I don't think we should reach for a 1st round guy.  Linebacker doesn't have the depth and is a much greater need for our division.  That being said I wouldn't be unhappy drafting a stud in the first round.

For those that didn't know, Andrew Billings actually broke Mark Henry's powerlifting record in 2013.
Billings combined for 2010 lbs of lifting between squat, bench, and dead lift.
Squat = 805 lbs
Bench = 500 lbs
Dead lift = 705 lbs
Dude is a beast.
