I think Jonathan Bullard is a sleeper. If we did what we did last year, on the defensive line instead, he'd be a nice add to the rotation.

I like him too. Early on he was in a lot of first round mocks. Now not so much. He would be the perfect replacement for Gilberry.

Dodd and Apple

Sheldon Rankins. Get rid of average to below average players opposite of Atkins and upgrade the interior D-line.

Docston or Sheldon Rankins.

BPA

In the first round Rankins, Billing, Doctson in that order.

2nd round Shepard, Boyd and A. Johnson.

3rd Round Deion Jones, Glascow and Judon.

4th round Schobert, Allen and Ionidis.

Sterling Shephard

Check out his story in this video. He just seems like the kind of kid Marvin would want.

Shepard would be a great pick for us. My only fear is that his stock is climbing to the point where I #24 might be a reach, but it's also doubtful that he's at #55. I could see him being an option if we traded down in the first.

I can see where his rising stock would make it difficult. I'm not sure that he's a first rounder, and rumor has it that they're bringing in Doctson for a workout. They should probably bring in Fuller, Treadwell, & Coleman, too. That would be the top 5 WRs according to NFL Draft Tracker. Docston has 4 inches on Shepard, off-setting the fact that they both had Vertical Leaps of 41 inches at the combine. That gives Doctson a certain edge, though the Vikings or Browns could take him before we get the chance. He's visiting both of them as well as us. 

Josh Doctson

I love Doctson as a player. Am I the only one scared by his age. I think I read today Mike Evans is 8 months younger than him. Was his college success due to a grown man whooping the youngins? Man amongst boys?

29 years old after his 5th year option. Age could push Doctson down the board imo.

The eyeball test says that this guy has the quickness/strength combination that can be so lethal as a pass rusher.

His first name starts with a K and his name rhymes with "Devin Rod"

I knew you meant Kevin Dodd, good player and nice highlights.

But then i watched the Emmanuel Ogbah highlights...

To the OP, Andrew Billings has been my guy for awhile now. Also like the other Baylor guy of the name Corey Coleman for us.

Unless the Browns trade way down, they aren't taking Doctson, likely just doing their due diligence in case there is even a chance he falls to them at #32.

The Vikings however are very likely going to take a WR right before us. It's hard to imagine but their wr corps is in worse shape than ours. I have a strong feeling Doctson or Treadwell gets picked the pick right before ours.

I think the better statistic si that he is 2.5 years older than last years first round pick Amari Cooper...

Though it's not like he is bandon weeden and 28. I don't think Doctsons age is much of an issue though.

Round 1: Reed/Rankins/Lee
Round 2: Micheal Thomas WR
Round 3: Pharoh Cooper WR

They need Safety and OLB if Lee is not taken in first round.

I would love to see Ryan Kelly in the 2nd. High character, strong, football intelligence with a nasty streak. Proven performer in the SEC. He would anchor our line for years. Plus he's a local kid from a school I love.

That would be awesome.

I just doubt the FO and PA would Draft a Center that early and pretty much admit they were wrong when they picked Bodine.

To win the SB you got to get to the QB, disrupt the pocket and stop the run. So whoever does that best.

Some guys have great football names. Rankins is a great football name.

Our Defense is already nasty. Hope we can make it even nastier.

Rankins in round 1. Billings in round 2. Lets dominate in the trenches.
