Offense

QB - Dalton
RB - Mixon
WR - Green, Lafell (until Core overtakes), Boyd
TE - Eifert, Uzomah
OL - Ogbuehi - Boling - Mangold (Draft Toth instead of Pocic in the 3rd) - Andre - Fisher

Defense

DL - Datone Jones - Atkins - Billings - Dunlap
LB - Burfict - Foster - Vigil
CB - Kirkpatrick, Dennard, Shaw
S - Iloka, Derron Smith

Don't want Mixon, but I do see them drafting a RB in the 4th or so...

I really, really want the vertical threat in John Ross.  I think that helps the entire offense more than any position except LT and the options are limited there.  With you on TEs, Kroft has done very little.  The offensive line I would say that we will have to roll with Bodine, but love Andre at RG.  He fits that spot, plain and simple....he could have a Bobbie Williams-type resurgence in the new position.  

The defensive line looks good, but I am hoping for a more speed-oriented option to get around the right side.  Maybe TJ Watt?  I would love McMillan over Foster as the LB.  I am just not sold on him at all.  Did too much of nothing when his line didn't absolutely destroy opposing offenses.  I sure wouldn't use my first pick on him.  The draft is pretty deep with LB options.  

Don't forget WJIII at CB.  I would hope that he starts over Dennard.  You don't have 28(!) PBUs in one season by being lucky.  This kid has fantastic instincts and plays the ball in the air.  He also didn't suffer a dreaded lower leg injury, thus his return should provide immediate impact.

You snuck in your last point, but I am with you that Smith should be given an opportunity to start over Williams.  If he improved his physicality by working hard in the offseason.  He simply plays the role better, like Reggie Nelson.  Reggie wasn't the ideal safety for the Jags, but he fit our scheme perfectly.  I think Smith is much the same.  He is now my Sexy, but on defense.     In other words, like Sexy, I hope he gets a longer look.
