Give me a top 10 player at #10 and this is about as good of a draft as I've seen.

I went with Reddick over Foster because while he's not as quite a complete LB yet, he is much more developed as a pass rusher.
I didn't go WR in the first because of the LaFell re-signing, even though John Ross is my favorite WR in the draft.
I could have gone Cook or Fournette, but I think the LB talent drops off faster than RB talent.
I don't want DE at 9 unless Thomas is there, but I'm expecting he won't be. But if it was a DE at 9, a LB in the third would fit fine.
I don't see a safety taken at 9 unless the team is willing to move Williams to nickel LB. Given that's a low probability, I avoided the scenario.

Also, I do think Reddick at 9 is somewhat of a reach (CBS has him at 13th best player right now), but given you can't ensure trading back, I didn't do a trade scenario. If there's a team in the 12-15 range that would be a good trade partner, I'm all for it and taking Reddick there instead.
