Gotta pick only one, and it has to be a somewhat realistic pick Mine: Round 1: Daquan Bowers. A freaking wet dream of a pass rusher for any team. 280 lbs DE with the speed and agility to play OLB on the strong side in a 3-4. IMO one of the more scheme versatile players in the draft Round 2: Marcus Cannon: Outstanding RT/OG prospect in the mold of Leonard Davis. Massive, well built, and very agile Round 3: Ras I Dowling: Stock is all over the place, but he is simply a player
I have no idea where Dowling is going to go. Ive seen him at the top of the second. Ive seen him at the bottum of the third
I like Jalil Brown alot, obviously he has the size and his physically gifted but he's also tough and instinctive, plays well in zone coverage, can still turn and run in man coverage. I think he needs to be coached up some but i think he could be a starting caliber corner in a couple yrs, i'd take him in the 4th.
1) Cameron Heyward - A monster 5 tech. Sheds blocks like hes covered in butter, never quits, NFL bloodlines, hard worker, perfect size...better prospect that tyson jackson who went 3rd overall but recovering from elbow surgery and competing against a stacked class of 5 techs will drop him hopefuly right into the steelers lap. Jackson was the only legit 5 tech in his class, Heyward is battling like 10 others. He will fill in for aaron smith perfectly and let hood play the attacking role on the weak side. Heyward is a better 5 tech today than hood will be tomorrow. 2) Ras-i Dowling His timed speed made me completely revert my thoughts on him. I though Malcolm Jenkins, Antrel Rolle and other CB to FS converters but sub 4.4 made me change my mind because watching him play in college he balled out. Hes everything the steelers look for in a corner. Supreme zone skills, good tackler, not afraid to stick his nose in there. 3) Greg Little Probably the best hands in the draft....went to UNC as an athlete WR/RB and has insane body control and is tough and physical and loves going across the middle. Raw but could contribute right away as a #4 WR and would instantly be the 2nd best RB on many teams as he grows into his role. I think anquan boldin when i see little, hes raw but he can ball out
Wouldn't mind the trio of: 1. Aaron Williams 2. Curtis Brown 3. Lance Kendricks I like KTrain's 3 as well...
I wanted to wait a bit to decide my three, and I think I've got a handle on it now. 1st: Patrick Peterson (and I kind of like our chances; most worried about ARI) 2nd: Leonard Hankerson (could easily go in the first; would also love Heyward to fall) 3rd: DeMarco Murray
