RD 1- SHILIQUE CALHOUN/DE/MSU (6’5” 251)

Long/lean DE. This guy is a natural bender that has displayed actual complex technique to get to the QB; not just speed or strength. Calhoun is not a player that is creating a lot of buzz, because he hasn’t “burst onto the scene” like many Johnny come lately’s, Shil has been doing it for 3 straight years. He is credited with 128 QB hurries, 26.5 sacks, and 51 TFL in the past 3 seasons, while showing steady improvement every year.  
We use Shil as a pass rush specialist until he grows into his man muscles ad takes over RDE full time.

RD 2- RYAN KELLY/C/ALA (6’4” 311)

Ryan is not a stubby phone-booth Center. He is fluid, with good knee bend and smooth hips, He also has almost 34” arms, But Kelly’s game is not finesse, he blows holes open in the running game and moves quickly to the second level.
Many will turn on Kelly because he won’t lift the gym, but he has an anchor and hasn’t allowed a sack in 2 years.

RD 3-HASSAN RIDGEWAY/DT/UT (6’4” 315)

DT depth is sick in this draft and many suggest you can get 1st RD talent in the 3-4 RDs and Hassan is the best of the bunch. An injury this year, program down-trend, and talks of not always giving his all cause him to be available here. This guy is never on the ground and is virtually unmovable in the run game. But this doesn’t mean he cannot penetrate, Hasssan has 9.5 sacks in the last 2 years.
An NFL GM is on record as saying Hassan is more talented than former team mate Malcolm Brown and NFL.COM compares him to K.K. Short. GIMME

RD 4- DEMARCUS ROBINSON/WR/UF (6’1” 204)

Watch this guy play and ODB immediately come to mind. Athletic WR with dynamic vertical and blistering speed. There is a chance this guy is the star of the combine. Why is he available here? Because I throw better than most UF QBs and he has been suspended twice (no details).
DR is the prototypical Boom-Bust and well worth a 4th round flier.

RD 5- JOE SCHOBERT/LB/WISC (6’1” 247)

Joe was a walk on a WISC but don’t let that deter you. There’s currently a D-lineman playing for the Texans that was a walk on there. IMO Joe is the sleeper of the draft (subject to change). He has already showed the ability to get into the opponents backfield (9.5 sacks and 19.5 TFL this year), but Pat Kirwan watched him at the Senior Bowl practices and thinks he is a future star MLB due to his awareness and comfort “in the pit”.
Joe plays SAM this year and moves to MIKE when Rey is released next year.

RD 6- JONATHAN JONES/CB/AUB (5’8” 178)

This team has been too long without a J.Jo in the D backfield. J.Jo is little, fast, and of great character, If he does nothing more that cover AB twice a year he is worth the pick. Has 6 INTs in 20114

RD 7- KA'IMI FAIRBAIRN/PK/UCLA (5’11” 183)

If you think Ka’Imi might be hard to pronounce try saying his given name (Ka'iminoeauloameka'ikeokekumupa'a). I am tired of being jealous of the Raven’s kicker; I want a great kicker of our own. Ka is an incredibly accurate kicker that continues to kick the ball out of the end zone on kickoffs.  Ka’s balls get high quick (insert joke); he has never had a kick blocked.

I like it and I'm on board with going pass rusher early, we only have 2 in Dunlap and Atkins, we need pressure off of the other side. This draft coupled with a solid free agency could really put us over the top not too mention there are probably going to be a few gems to be had via UDFA
