Round 1 Pick 11: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston (A)
Ok, it is hardly a worst-case scenario when you get a talent like Ed Oliver, but I was really hoping for Taylor, the OT from Florida or White, the LB from LSU but I gladly take Oliver and put his next to Geno in "NASCAR" packages and rotate with Geno to keep constant pressure coming up the middle. Might just bring a bit more out of Geno as well.
Round 2 Pick 10: Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama State (B-)
A behemoth of a man that is a bit raw in pass protection but has size and athleticism that is rare. He will learn and develop behind Hart and possibly push for a starting role by the end of the season. Controversial pick due to level of competition, but looked stellar against everything Auburn could throw at him. Rose to the level of competition. Hardly a finished project and some might refer to him as Margus Hunt on offense, but I like him.
Round 3 Pick 8: Mack Wilson, ILB/OLB, Alabama (A)
After losing out on White and Bush, I was thrilled to get the solid, three-down LB out of Alabama. Doesn't do anything off the charts, but does everything well and has good size, speed, and instincts.
Round 4 Pick 8: Darnell Savage, FS, Maryland (A+)
Ball-hawking, tough-tackling SS on a team devoid of talent around him. If this kid played at OSU, he would have been a star.
Round 5 Pick 11: Drew Sample, TE, Washington (A)
This is about the 3rd or 4th time I have taken Sample in mocks. I guess I am the only one that sees his balance of good blocking skills and solid receiving skills as more important than a 4.5 forty-yard dash. Very underrated player.
Round 6 Pick 10: Albert Huggins, DT, Clemson (A+)
Minimal opportunities but seized them when he had them. Played his best in big moments, such as the National Championship, when Lawrence was suspended.
Round 6 Pick 25: Mark Fields, CB, Clemson (A)
Like Sample, I have taken Fields a number of times in mocks. There is no way with his athleticism he will slide this far. Rare speed and ball skills. He gets knocked for having to do very little with the pressure of his front four, but rarely if ever got beat and has closing speed like a cheetah. Very high ceiling for this guy.
Round 6 Pick 37 (COMP): Kendall Sheffield, CB, Ohio St. (A+)
Speed merchant that tore his pec at the combine and couldn't participate in drills. The ultimate buy-low stock. Was the state champ in the 600 meter dash. A solid player at OSU with mercurial speed. Good to push Dre and WJIII in practice.
Round 6 Pick 38 (COMP): John Cominsky, DE, University of Charleston (A+)
Sam Hubbard 2.0: Only difference is he played for a small school where everyone focused on him. Hubbard had incredible talent around him. Could be the next Michael Johnson that lines up at RDE (although is probably better suited to backup Dunalp at LDE) that rotates inside on passing downs. Love this guy's motor.
Round 6 Pick 40 (COMP): Jazz Ferguson, WR, Northwestern State (A+)
Has the size, strength, and speed of an AJ Green, but very unpolished in his route running. Basically a replacement for Malone if he continues to struggle.
Round 7 Pick 9: Tony Pollard, WR/RB, Memphis (A+)
Interesting RB prospect with lots of tread left on his tire and great versatility as a receiving option. Rex Burkhead 2.0
Thoughts?
