Here goes ladies and gentlemen.
Round-1
DeForest Buckner-DE-
Oregan
Falls in our lap. I would love Ramsey here more but redshirting him at pick #12 makes no sense to me.
Round 2
Austin Johnson-NT- Penn State
Round 3
Vadal Alexander-G-LSU
Round 4
Denver Kirkland-G-Arkansas
Round 5
DJ Reader-NT-Clemson
Round 7
Kevin Byard-S-Middle Tennesse

What is wrong with Ramsey? Jaylon Smith is the guy with bad knees.


Buckner and Ramsey are top 5 picks.

Buckner and Ramsey are top 5 picks.

he has shown great versatility throughout his career, splitting time between cornerback and safety his freshman year, playing the Spur spot in 2014, before moving back to corner as a junior.

Jalen Ramsey Draft Profile

Jaylon Ramsey has never played the same position at FSU. So despite being a 3 year starter at FSU he is still raw for the most part.

This is why I would not be surprised to see him slip a bit in the draft. When was the last time you saw a safety drafted this high? That is exactly what this kid is. Can he become a CB at the next level that justifies top 10? not sold on that skill set just yet. Right now he is a starting SS with exceptional coverage and tackling skills in year one. He can be your back up FS with out loosing much sleep over really. Give him a year or two and he is you starting FS.

At this point he is another Deone Bucannon. At 22 Deon was a steal. Top 5? top 10 maybe. Top 15 without a doubt.

Jaylon Ramsey has perennial pro bowl FS written all over him. Byrd's replacements.

JP did you see Walter Footballs latest mock?

Saints round one - Conklin and round 2 - Billings. Uh-oh......

Yes, and I prefer Conklin over a two-down defensive lineman; plus if you read Conklin's scouting, history, he's an A+ player...

As posted before, can't see spending a first round pick, let alone a high first round, on a two-down defensive lineman...

When you invest that pick, you need to get maximum snaps, plays out of that player...

What concerns me about Billings, Rankins is their size...

At the pro-level almost every team now has big guards with long arms in blocking schemes to neutralize these bowling ball-types...

Most effective nose tackles, interior linemen in today's games are long, mammoth types...

I'd rather take a big (6'4"+, 285+ lbs) defensive end to bookend with Cam Jordan who can seal the edge, slide inside on long passing plays...

Billings and Rankins remind me of former Sedrick Ellis; he'll just get rolled up and pushed outta the way...

How would you feel if this is what we do as the NFL freaks out

12 - Myles Jack
47 - Jaylon Smith

or better yet and these two drop into our laps more than once?

12 - Jarran Reed
47 - Myles Jack
78 - Jaylon Smith

I for one would love the gamble. what a payoff if one works out. both hit the field in 2017 ? score a big one for the home team. both have long productive years? that would be a draft of legendary proportions.

Hagan agree with you 100% on the 12 Reed and so on. I would love to take that gamble on JACK.

There are better players than Spence in this draft without the past issues that are able to rush the passer and stop the run. All Spence can do is rush the passer, I would rather they not draft a one trick pony in the first

With emphasis on a 3 tech, who you got?
