Ansah?

I just worry that he's too much of a project...

And I just don't trust Oregon product Dion Jordan...

Ogletree will go in the first.
No way to the Bengals/Bears/Ravens let him pass.

What's the deal with Jarvis Jones? A bunch of the talking heads refer to him as an if rather than a when.

Whatch talking about Willis?!?

I know there he's got a spinal stenosis problem; I'd be reluctant to touch that with a first rounder...

Ogie!!! Ogie!!!

Take Ogie and all his problems at No. 15 and if we can trade back, gain a pick, and still get him, that'd be lagniappe...

I think we should take a serious look at that kevin minter also, that guy is a fast LB

It sure looks like everyone thinks our pick will be between ansah, jordan and mingo - we just have to hope whichever one we get will be our difference maker

All three have the potential to be difference makers but not straight away.

I think Mingo is probably the safest bet out of the three, he is one hell of an athlete and can locate the ball quickly, the only real negative is when he does get blocked he struggles to disengage.

I like Minter a lot... but it's very unlikely we can take him. I think he's projected to be a low first/seconder rounder. Unless we move down, we don't have a legitimate shot.

Ansah?

I think the same can be said of all three. With that said, if we're going to bust on a guy this year, I rather it be on someone with an exponential amount of potential. I'd hate to go the safe route and have the same result. We need a big time difference maker.

[jeanpierre]

Well, I'm bullish on Ogletree; haven't liked a linebacker this much since Clay Matthews...

so far so good. some of the others passed on the bench

[ChrisXVI]

I fully expect to add a TE in the draft and I haven't seen Levine Toilolo projected to go very highly... Imagine having Jimmy Graham and another TE that's 2 inches taller than him on the field at the same time! I'm really high on that possibility!
