First round: Justin Gilbert, cornerback from Ohio state. At 6ft 200lbs, he is a big physical corner that makes plays and hits like a truck. I take him 8 overall.
If Dennard is available at 8, he is light years better than Gilbert. No way Gilbert should go this high.
2nd round: Shayne Skov, ILB from Stanford. Dude is a beast. Sometimes a little too feisty but he hits hard, has great vision and is a great leader. Tore his acl in 2011 I think but showed no signs of it slowing him down in 2013. I absolutely want this guy on our team if we are going to draft another linebacker.
Sorry, this is another reach, IMO. There are better options at LB that will still be on the board. There is a small crop of NTs and I think this is a good spot to find one. Or OL. Heck, if LBs Mosley or Mack is available at 8, we should grab one of them!
Trade 2013 3rd round pick and conditional 3 or 4 next year for Ryan Mallet for our qb. I think some people forget he was possibly the best qb coming out that year but was an immature #### in college and he paid for it.
I like Mallet, but wonder where he is at right now. As a backup for Brady, you don't get to see much daylight.
3rd from Seattle: Ahmad Dixon SS. Physical safety with good size at 6' and loves to come down in run support.
Interesting idea, considering Harrison Smith's injury this season. But I would rather see a FS here.
4th: Aaron Murray Georgie qb. Looks to be dropping a bit due to his injury but that could change on his pro day. Wouldn't mind grabbing a guard or defensive lineman here instead. Aaron Murray is my choice because we can get our defense taken care of early and still get a qb that has experience In a pro style offense .
If you are trading for Mallett, then skip Murray. Heck, I say skip Murray anyway. But we all have our own ideas about who will succeed as an NFL QB. Definitely OL here, or LB/DL
