Where'd you find information that said he bulked up because last I read he was 255. Also if adding 17 lbs didn't diminish that 40 time then adding 15 more surely will. I've heard about players gaining weight once they reach the league but to put on 30+ lbs and still effective is a lot to ask of a player imo.

1st round, we probably go either pass rusher or Hankins to be the nose. If Sheldon Richardson is there, though, I want him. Dude could easily play 3-4 DE. He has a motor that doesn't quit. He could be our Justin Smith.

In round 3, go after the best available player at a position of need (NT,OLB,S,CB)

I'm thinking, unless the mocked miracle Jarvis Jones drop (alliteration!) occurs, Lane Johnson will be the pick at 15. The best thing about him is that he has experience at both LT and RT, so if by some miracle Charles Brown plays well enough to win the LT job (or RT, which he has played but really doesn't belong at), we could just put Johnson at RT. I think Brandon Jenkins has a legit shot at being there in the 3rd round and I would absolutely love the pick. He gets bitched around in the run game, but he has an insanely quick first step and some good moves to get after the QB. You can't ask for much better for a ROLB in the 3rd round. If he had played his senior season I really think he would be right there with that 2nd tier Jordan/Mingo/Ansah OLB talk. And if we go with one of those three in the first, I wouldn't be upset if they draft Jenkins anyway. Especially if they get Jordan in the 1st, who I think would work out well as a LOLB given his excellent coverage skills.

NFL.com. But they do not have updated 40 times of course so i just used his mid range time from his draft data. He could be a little slower than that not. And for comparison Brett Kiesel (Steelers) 6'5" 285. Sure he didnt see the field last year, but does that really matter with how poorly we did anyways. Just saying he has the size and speed to potentially add depth to 2 positions. Maybe he just wasnt able to catch on last year with schemes that apparently no one really did.
