Who is "your guy"?

If the Bengals get a guy like Wilson in Rd 2, perhaps even sliding a few picks to do so and gaining an additional late 3rd, then get a WR like Claypool at the top of Rd 3, the extra pick in the third round could be William Gay, Jr.  The guy had a pass defense ranking BETTER than Simmons.  Think about that.  And he did it in the SEC. 

Wish the guy hadn't blown up the combine like he did, because teams will have all kinds of BS about honor codes and his suspensions, but when they saw him at the combine, that all went out the window.

Let's recap Willie Gay Jr.'s #NFLCombine:


Result (LB Ranking)
40 Yard Dash: 4.46 (2nd)
Broad Jump: 11'4" (1st)
Vertical Jump: 39.5" (2nd)
Bench Press: 21 reps (T-5th)

No. 1 in all four categories among SEC LBs@WillieG___ x #HailState

If he was able to last until the 3rd round, I would actually take him before Claypool.  I like him that much and his value there would be outstanding.  He's Odell Thurman, only bigger, stronger, and faster with less of a rap sheet.  We need an axe murderer on defense like that.  

Can you imagine this?

Rd 1- Burrow
Rd 2- Wilson (after trading back 6-8 picks for a late 3rd rounder)
Rd 3- Wille Gay, Jr
Rd 3- Van Jefferson
Rd 4- Damien Lewis

You could literally have four starters in your first 5 picks, with Van Jefferson coming off the bench?  I bet the Jets take him before then, though...his dad is the WR coach there.
