1(5). Penei Sewell, OT 6'6" 325. This is currently wishful thinking. There are a lot of scenarios where he falls to 5, but he's a better prospect than that and a team like the Jets or Dolphins could easily take him or another team could trade ahead of us to take him. I'm usually not one for hyperbole, but this guy is almost unbelievable and could rival Munoz for best o-lineman in team history.
2(38). Tyson Campbell, CB 6'2" 185lbs. We'll need to find a WJII replacement, sooner rather than later. I prefer taller corners in the 6'+ range. Campbell is still a bit raw, but he played 3 seasons int he SEC and has big upside. High School: American Heritage, coached by Patrick Surtain, Sr...
3(69) Jared Goldwire, DE/DT 6'6" 305lbs. I think this team desperately needs a 5-technique that can stop the run and provide some interior pass rush. I see Jared as a DE in 3-man fronts and UT in 4-man fronts.
4(102). Aaron Banks, OG 6'5" 330lbs. This is a bit of a wing and prayer that he'll be available in the 4th. If he's gone I like his teammate Tommy Kraemer as well. Both well rounded OG's that can run and pass blocks and even kick out to OT in a pinch.
5(133) Tre McKitty, TE 6'5" 245lbs. More receiver than blocker, which we need, but also a willing blocker when asked to. Has some big, strong mitts.
6(166) Ben Mason, FB 6'3" 254lbs. Really hoping Pollack will convince ZT to use a true FB and Mason is a great lead blocker with a bit of receiving skills and ST contributor. Played some H-back and DL. Three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree (2018-19-20) Voted a Team Captain by his teammates (2020)
7(197). Evan McPherson, K 5'9" 180lbs. The team is clearly ready to move on from Bullock considering the late season audition of Seibert, who did not impress.
I like all the selections and the realistic approach. Not sure if you used a SIM but the rounds seem realistic.
