2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

Ideally I would love to see one of the top OLB's in the 1st and then getting him in the 2nd or 3rd. Could work wonders for our..... gosh what's that thing called? A lot of other teams have one and we never seem to... oh yeah, pass rush.

The way Dodd had played, I'd be shocked he was taking in the top 50...

The Mel speaks...

Mel Kiper releases his first mock draft for 2016 - NFL

12. New Orleans Saints

*A'Shawn Robinson, DL, Alabama

The Saints really need to add another versatile defensive lineman, and Robinson fits the bill. In fact, the 6-foot-3, 313-pounder is an immediate starter who combines great awareness and strength to make plays and hold the point in the run game, as well as the ability to push the pocket. There isn't a place where the Saints can go wrong adding talent on defense.

Senior Bowl week (January 25-30)

Five Names to Know—Senior Bowl Offense Edition

5. No. 22 RB Aaron Green, TCU

A true three-down back with excellent hands and route-running skills, Aaron Green has the tools to impress on the field in Mobile thanks to his pass-catching chops and quick running style. He's a poor man's version of Ameer Abdullah.

4. No. 9 WR Jordan Payton, UCLA

Jordan Payton had a great season at UCLA (78 catches, 1,106 yards, 5 TDs) with Josh Rosen at quarterback, and at 6'1" and a solid 212 pounds, Payton has the body and speed to catch the eye of scouts in one-on-one drills against Senior Bowl cornerbacks.

3. No. 89 TE Jerell Adams, South Carolina

Adams has talent, and could have a Clive Walford-like week in Mobile where he overcomes his college scheme to make plays on a big stage.

2. No. 55 G Cody Whitehair, Kansas State

Whitehair is the top-ranked offensive lineman accepting an invite to Mobile, and he has a chance to be a legit top-20 pick in this year’s class. A left tackle at Kansas State, he looks like a future All-Pro at guard.

1. No. 78 T Cole Toner, Harvard

I’ve written about Toner before, and even though he’s listed at tackle, I think his best pro position is center (a la Mitch Morse). A good week can push him into Day 2 of the draft.

And for everyone predicting another CB to be drafted. We are getting PJ Williams back. He is a draft pick in itself. We will not be going corner unless its a steal in the 4th round and below.

I like Williams but he hasn't seen the field yet, might, might not? I hope he does well!!
