Top 15 pick. I think he'll be gone early.

Everything I’ve read lately compares Taven Bryan to JJ Watt. Tremendous momentum pushing him up draft boards at the moment. I haven’t watched one second of his game tape yet but it’s sounding like he could be the first DT off the board.

Todd McShay Mock Draft 2.0

27. New Orleans Saints - Harold Landry, OLB, Boston College

I don’t have Todd’s reasoning for the pick but just as food for thought here’s some Harold Landry info from NFL.com’s draft profile...

Sources Tell Us
"He's just like (Vic) Beasley coming out with the way he comes off the snap. You remember how Beasley struggled early because he had to learn to be a pass rusher and not just a sprinter? I think Landry might be the same early on. When he puts it together, he'll do what Beasley did." -- NFC team pro personnel director

Bottom Line
Landry lacks premium size, but his burst, stride length and ability to dip and rip around the edge give him special potential as an edge rusher. Landry lacks strength at the point of attack and may be a designated pass rusher early in his career. While he can play standing for 3-4 teams, he's at his best with his hand in the dirt as a rusher. Landry can get by as an NFL rusher with just speed and athleticism, but he has an opportunity to become a Pro Bowler if he can improve his hand usage and develop an inside counter.
