This is why I wont get all dejected if the take a Qb with one of there first rounders . Even if that pick bombs they still got enough picks to improve the defense. As a side note I would not be shocked to see them take a RB or WR high. Like second round high. Some folks might throw a fit of they don’t pick multiple defense players high in the draft but out of the two first and two second round picks we have I would not be shocked to see two offensive players and two defensive players taken.

If this was exactly how the board fell on draft day, who you picking with 8 and 11?

8 = Kelee Ringo , CB, Georgia
11 = Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

I’m damn sure not picking a TE, and also not reaching for the 4th best QB.

Most over rated is obviously Levis. Most under rated, Myles Murphy.

Glad to see Fashanu up there. He will pass Skoronski and be OT1 by the time the draft rolls around. Where’s Jalin Hyatt?

6

Yeah. I don’t get why Murphy is so low on a lot of these lists. I get that he’a not there yet as a pass rusher but that didn’t hurt Walker last year and Murphy is a freak in his own right.

PFF has its’ own “mid-season” top 50:

And top 100:

Murphy is much higher.

It’s a really shitty board if you ask me.

Myles Murphy and Bryan Bresee, just for the sheer value. They are waaaaay too low on that list.

Why he is my first pick and should be there at #8.

6. DI BRYAN BRESEE, CLEMSON

Bresee is not your run-of-the-mill defensive tackle. At 6-foot-5, 300 pounds, he’s not holding an ounce of bad weight and could pass for a defensive end from a build perspective. He’s one of the best pure penetrators in the class and earned a 76.0 pass-rushing grade this season.

I’m with you I really hope he lasts but I have a feeling he’ll crush the pre-draft process. Aside from maybe Murphy I don’t know who I’d take over him at #5. Hopefully the OTs get pushed up.

Being realistic about the bust rate, we should hope to get 3 starters out of this draft. Hopefully at least one impact player.

14

Don’t mean to sound like a homer but Michigan is undefeated and yet not a single player shows up until 64.

I hate to be that guy, but that was the thought last year, too.

16

The irony is that the same guy who has DT Mazi Smith st No 64 has him going in the top 25 of his mock draft.

Holmes has done better than that though, and he will with this one too.
probably 4 starters in the first 3 rounds and a surprise guy in the 4 or 5th
