Have you seen any Pro Day performances that stood out?

A few that have stood out to me are.

Jarrad Davis LB Florida 6'1" 238lbs ran a 4.56 40, had a 38.5" vert, and 10'9" broad. He had an ankle injury so he didn't perform at the combine. His performance is earning him some first round buzz. If he makes to us in the 2nd he should be really hard to pass up.

Charles Harris DE Mizzou 6'3" 253lbs. He had a sub par combine performance. He stood on his 4.8 40 and 21 bench reps from the combine. But improved his vert from 32" at the combine to 37.5" at his pro day. His athleticism questions went away and he is firmly back in the first round picture. Aside from Myles Garrett I think Harris is the best speed rusher in the draft. I wouldn't be mad if we took him at 9.

Brandon Wilson CB/RB/KR Houston 5'10" 198lbs. Poor man's Jabrill Peppers. He didn't have a draft profile page on NFL.com until after his pro day. 4.36 40, 41" vert, 11'1" broad, 24 bench reps. Only player in college football in 2015 with multiple touchdowns on offense, defense, and special teams. Primarily played CB but switched to RB for emergency purposes. He makes big plays with the ball in his hands. Graded as a 7th-udfa. If it gets to the 7th round and we have all of our needs filled you could do a lot worse with a project pick.

 I LOVE both Davis and Harris.  

I like Harris better than almost any of the pass rushers.   Unfortunately he doesn't set the edge too well.   But if you're looking for a pass rusher...

And Davis is a stud.   Great instincts, great tackling, great coverage, hits like a tank.  He won't be there in the 2nd.  What I wouldn't do for two late first round picks.
