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.

Lane Johnson probability skyrockets if no other free agent or Bushrod signed. Hard to imagine Brown being ready but that has to be considered (Bushrod fewer reps before he started). Somebody signed up and OT need falls off the chart 1st Rd.

Good call on Brandon Jenkins. he might be the best OLB to hope for in the 3rd Rd. Lemonier better but more likely gone by #75. Will have to study up on Jenkins more.

Could be a law firm draft, Jenkins & Jenkins. DT John & OLB Brandon. Move Cameron Jordan to the right side and draft Dion Jordan for a Double Jordan attack.
