Definitely keeping an eye on these two:

Dante Booker OLB/ILB Ohio State 6021 233 4.62 #33 Sr

Parris Campbell WR/KR Ohio State 6002 208 4.39 #21 rJr

I still think upgrades can be made to our LB corp so Roquan Smith, Rashaan Evans, Tremaine Edmunds, Dante Booker, etc all have my utmost attention.

players that caught my eye.

Kyzir White SS/OLB West Virginia 6025 215 4.56 #8 Sr

Is becoming my Rodney Dangerfield of the 2018 NFL Draft for the media scouts. he is not getting the respect he deserves. I just stare and wonder why? Round 4? what a steal at the bottom of the 3rd. He is my fav for an in the box SS. Still needs coaching but he hits and covers extremely well.

Day 3 likes

4/5 Marcell Ateman WR Oklahoma St 6032 220 4.57 #3 rSr
Use him as a split TE/WR? He blocks better than Fleener. Coleman and Ateman lined up in opposite slots in a 4 WR set with Thomas on the outside, would drive defenses nuts. That's a lot of timber on the field. just toying with the idea

5/6 Marcus Baugh TE Ohio State 6041 250 4.84 #85 rSr
Secrets out. OSU has started to show him off but his run blocking was not that strong last night

6/7 Justin Jackson RB/KR Northwestern 5096 200 4.52 #21 Sr
I just like this guy. Blocking needs work but to accomplish all he has done behind those Northwestern OLs over the years is worth serious consideration.

6/7 Chris Worley ILB OSU 6015 230 4.67 #35 rSr
kinda of a new comer on my list. he was all over the place and did not blow his assignments

7/UDFA Jamal Morrow, RB/WR/KR Washington State 5085 180 4.54 #25 rSr
He reminds me of PT. Nothing overly flashy just a solid all around good football player in all phases of his game

I didn’t see Dante Booker last night. Did he even play? Chris Worley and Jerome Baker stood out though at LB.

Dante Booker was a concussion player. For the most part he has been missing in action all season long. OSU has seemed to moved on from him early this year. He is now a late round flier player in the draft.

For those who want to spend a draft pick on a punt returner...

Decided to take a stab at our first couple of picks...

Round 1 Pick 27: Roquan Smith, ILB, Georgia

Do I realistically expect Smith to be there when we pick? No, but crazier things have happened and LB’s tend to drop a bit due to reaches on QB’s and WR’s. I plug Smith in at WLB, move Anzalone to MLB and make Klein a full-time SLB. That’s a good, fast line-up.

Round 3 Pick 27: Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State

Again, probably gone before this pick, but this is an imperative position to upgrade. Any of the top TE prospects would be fine and their differences are just a matter of splitting hairs. Take the best TE available here.

Round 4 Pick 27: B.J. Hill, DT, North Carolina State

Now this is a pick I’m head over heels in love with! Ryan Nielsen is reunited with the big, block-eating monster NT that our line is sorely lacking.

Boy did Roquan have himself a great second half of football in the Rose bowl. He was all over the place like a Tasmanian devil.

Realistically I don’t expect him to still be on the board past the middle of the first round. Last year guys like Haason Reddick and Jarrad Davis were drafted 13th and 21st respectively and Roquan Smith is a better looking prospect.

I’d be happy with us going best available TE in the first and DT B.J. Hill in the third.
