Draft Pick #64

The end of the college regular season begins the draftmania season. Last year at this time I was thinking Aldon Smith, Justin Houston, Akeem Ayers, Muhammed Wilkerson, Phil Taylor, etc. Some of them rose or sunk in value to not fit. Some would have been pretty good. So the way early wish list of players that might could be available at #64 in early projections...

Melvin Ingram DE South Carolina, speed rusher who could move up boards, more likely wishful thinking

Bruce Irvin DE West Virginia, if he can fit 4-3, poor season will have his stock down a lot, immense physical tools, very raw tho

Alex Okafor DE Texas, speed rusher that could also rise up boards with an impressive Combine

Nico Johnson LB Alabama, Jr who could stay another year, has played all LB spots in their 3-4, maybe a little early at #64

Travis Lewis LB Oklahoma, prolly the best fit for need and fitting in this pick range. Undersized but quick. Good instincts and good in coverage. WLB in my books. Tez Wilson to SAM next year.

Ronnell Lewis LB Oklahoma, more prototypical and a fierce hitter. Has had significant hot and cold streaks though.

Just some to keep you eyes on if you watch any bowl games.

For those wanting a speedy WR look at Kendall Wright Baylor, & TY Hilton FIU- although perhaps too high at 2nd Rd. All around WR Nick Toon is prolly the biggest name that might fit late 2nd. Greg Childs and Ryan Broyles will be interesting to see what range they go from the injuries.

DTs Rogers & Franklin are only on 1yr deals and could be gone. DTs that that might be in that range to me are Kwame Geathers Georgia, Devon Still Penn St, & Jaye Howard Florida.

The team is looking pretty solid in regard to age and contracts to positions. Barring losing WRs to FA a speed rusher or LB are the only glaring needs IMO.
