If would love to have JuJu in stripes.  He would be an immediate impact player.


As for the 2nd round, I would love to see a Center (Elflien) or a running back.

Tim Williams has a lot of questions to answer and if he doesn't knock it out of the park with some clubs they are going to take him off their boards no matter what, much like a Randy Gregory situation. 

I think as of right now he is all over the board until you hear some GM's say how he does in interviews and at the combine. But.......... for our sake, i hope he sucks in interviews and we can get him in the 2nd because talent wise, he could be taken in the 1st at 9 if he didn't have any questions to answer.

With Fournette and Cook maybe jumping him and going in the first round we might get a shot at McCaffrey in the 2nd.

Hill might turn it on and actually play hard his contract year. But we shouldnt give him another contract. Would like Burkhead back but the sample size is small and he isnt the most durable.  So if we have competition i dont want to overpay.

You dont break Barry Sanders all purpose yards record and then i forget about it. He came back and quitely led the nation in all purpose yards again this year. Bye bye Peerman. Our new special teams ace RB can actually carry the ball and is a big play threat.

With that being said, what are some of the late first/2nd round guys that you guys like? Name your top 5 in order you would like to see in stripes next season. I realize that this will all be dependent on which way we go in the 1st round but this draft is pretty deep for the 1st 3 rounds or so. Here would be my top 5 guys I would like to see in stripes that we can target in the 2nd round:

1. Tim Williams, DE/OLB/ Pass Rusher- Alabama

Tim Williams is a top 5 talent but has some off field issues. We took Carlos Dunlap in a similar fashion in the 2nd round a few years back. Williams will need to answer the off the field issues but between the hash marks, he is one of the best pass rushers, if not the best pass rusher in this draft. 

2. Raekwon McMillion, LB- Ohio State 

McMillion is one of the most instinctual linebackers in this draft. He is always around the ball. He may have to come off the field on some passing downs or in nickel defense but after watching years of malaluga and now Dansby get destroyed in the passing game, McMillion is a clear upgrade over both of them. I would like Rueben Foster at 9 but if we don't take a LB in the 1st, McMillion should be our guy if still on the board. 

3. TJ Watt, LB/DE/Pass Rusher- Wisconsin 

TJ Watt is an absolute havoc wrecker on a passing game. He has a very first quick step and has nice bend along the edge. Would be more of a situational pass rusher while someone like Margus Hunt or Michael Johnson played the run downs until he adds a little bulk. 

4. JuJu-Smith Schuster, WR- USC 

JuJu would instantly become a fan favorite for all of the times they would play juju on that beat when he makes a great catch or first down but besides that, the dude can go up and get a football. He is a big play WR and that is exactly what this offense needs. As good of a year that Brandon Lafell had, he isn't the answer for the #2 or #3 WR opposite AJ and Boyd. 

5. Desmond King, CB- Iowa 

Desmond King isn't going to go to the combine and wow you with his underwear on, but the kid is a very good cornerback. Think Casey Hayward as a comparison. He has phenomenal ball skills when the ball is in the air and almost turns himself into a WR when playing the ball. He isn't going to blaze a 4.3 or 4.4 40 but if you select king, our nickel CB position is in very good hands for years to come. And now with Pacman getting in trouble, and hopefully his release, we are going to have to go CB at sometime in this draft. a WJIII, Dre k, Dennard, King secondary could form into something really nice over the next few years. 

So let me hear some of the guys you are thinking we should target in the 2nd round.

That early in the 2nd there are normally some guys with 1st round grades still lingering around and that's what I would want to move on.

To be fair though I want to wait on pass rusher until the 2nd and grab one of the guys who falls because of the depth in this draft at the position, so a discussion for center there is a non starter for me. Go Mike Williams or Reuben Foster at 9 then best pass rusher in the 2nd.

The issue is some are saying Mixon is undraftable based on is off field issue, but I'd argue he is no more undraftable than Tyreek Hill was.

Dude is a RB with WR hands, playmaker.

Tyreke Hill has single handedly made Chiefs a SB contender with that speed.

I am actually picking the Chiefs to upset the Pats if they get there with that Defense and ST's.

It was form his freshman year and he was suspended a year for it, however the current climate of sports make it tough to take the guy everyone knows beats women. To compare Hill punched his pregnant girlfriend in the face and stomach before throwing her down. He plead guilty and was thrown out of school, yet somehow has gotten away with little national media for as successful as he has been this year.

Don't know how any man could punch a pregnant gal, that is crazy shit, especially in the stomach.
