5. *Derek Barnett, Tennessee
6. *Charles Harris, Missouri
7. *Carl Lawson, Auburn
8. Jordan Willis, Kansas State
9. DeMarcus Walker, Florida State
10. Trey Hendrickson, Florida Atlantic
Hendrickson (6-4, 266) is a natural pass-rusher who could be taken in the third or fourth round. His 4.20 20-yard shuttle at the combine was second best among defensive linemen

6. *Anthony Walker Jr., Northwestern
7. Ben Gedeon, Michigan
8. Jayon Brown, UCLA
9. Harvey Langi, BYU
10. Blair Brown, Ohio
Brown (6-0, 231) is a solid player who took Myles Jack's place in 2015. He had 2.5 sacks and three interceptions last season.
Outside linebackers
1. Takkarist McKinley, UCLA
2. Haason Reddick, Temple
3. *T.J. Watt, Wisconsin
4. Tim Williams, Alabama
5. Duke Riley, LSU
6. Derek Rivers, Youngstown State
7. Tyus Bowser, Houston
8. Ryan Anderson, Alabama
9. *Alex Anzalone, Florida
10. Vince Biegel, Wisconsin
Rivers (6-4, 248) had a great combine, running a 4.61 40 with 35 reps on the bench press and a 35-inch vertical. He could be a Day 2 pick.

If you don't mind can you post the WR list also?

7. *Chris Godwin, Penn State
8. *Carlos Henderson, Louisiana Tech
9. *JuJu Smith-Schuster, USC
10. Taywan Taylor, Western Kentucky
The big change here is Ross (5-11, 188), who moves to the top spot. I'm still waiting on official 40 times from Williams (6-4, 218) and Davis (6-3, 209). Jones (6-2, 201) is another riser after the combine and the Senior Bowl.

I'll never understand the Myles Garrett love. Dude looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane.

What do the asterisks notate?
Posted on 3/16/17 at 7:55 pm to Lester Earl
* = Junior
** = RS Soph

Underclassmen. One * indicates junior, two indicates redshirt sophomore.

He stacked up stats against shite teams and complete disappeared on several occasions against top competition in the SEC. He could turn out to be a great player, but I fail to see how he's consistently labeled as the #1 pick. I'd rather someone who was consistent throughout their career l as opposed to Garrett who showed obvious weaknesses against the run and decent left tackles.

I like Mike Williams but Ross would be awesome in our system.

If Corey Davis is there at 32 we should take him. Unless Christian is there of course.

I watched LSU run right at Garrett the last couple years. I think he struggles against the run.

Not a fan of Kiper at all. His assessment of talent never coincides with how the draft actually pans out but can anybody divulge who his top 3-4 corners are? Is this allowed??Just curious.

Here's the deal that I've noticed in regards to LSU fans' assessments of Garrett....it's not much different than Bama fans' assessments of Fournette. For whatever reason LSU annually whips Aggie and Bama annually whips LSU.
It's hard not to, but try not to judge a player based solely on his performance against a particular team. I'm guilty of it too at times. Take it into consideration sure, but there's not a guy in this draft that approaches Garrett from a prospect standpoint. His measurables are off the charts, and he's had really good production in his career regardless of his performances against LSU

If we are targeting an offensive player I would love Curtis Samuel at 42.
Dude had like 800 yards rushing and 800 yards receiving and he ran a 4.31. We could give it to him 10 times on the ground and throw it to him 10 more and he would be deadly in our offense.

yea I brought him up yesterday in the Kamara thread. I actually think Samuel could be there at 76. He really is a tweener so it's going to take someone wanting that type of player, because they aren't a "need." He's not a starting or backup running back and he's not a starting slot receiver, he's a specialist/gadget player and I don't expect someone like that to go very high. A comparable guy recently from a prospect standpoint would be Dri Archer that went 96th overall. Drake is a similar player too but a little bigger and proved more between the tackles in college and he went 73rd. I just think that's the neighborhood you start to see these specialty backs go

Here's the difference; Fournette failed to show up well versus great Bama defenses stacked to stop him; while Garret failed to show up versus bad LSU offenses despite A&M stacking the D to stop the run.
There is a difference.
