Dante Fowler or Bernardrick McKinney
Those are the two players I have my eye on for us in the upcoming draft. Fowler is a straight up, edge rusher. McKinney is an ILB with defensive back speed, a sure tackler, can cover in space, and a true leader.
If I has to choose, I want Mckinney. Who are y'all hoping we target? |

Re: Dante Fowler or Bernardrick McKinney
Yeah I like McKinley too. But is he going in the first or second? I'd like to get Collins and him.

We have no idea, when's the last time we drafted an early round LB? |

Re: Dante Fowler or Bernardrick McKinney
MicKinley played in the SEC and helped MSU's defense hold the higher teams to lesser points than they usually score. Teams in the SEC that play like that are going to adjust quickly in the NFL. He is not a project or else he would not have made MSU a top defense.

And the pick should've been ROT Jah Reid (now starting for the Ravens) because Tez was released in 2013 to protect an undrafted QB from the Practice Squad. |
