Just completed this one and I think it would be pretty solid for us. Kind of contingent on bringing back Higgins and Perriman, but I think Higgins at least is fairly sure.

Pick	Player	Pos	College
1:17	Byron Murphy	CB	Washington
2:17	Christian Wilkins	DL	Clemson
3:16	Andre Dillard	OT	Washington St.
3:31	Beau Benzschawel	G	Wisconsin
4:17	D'Andre Walker	EDGE	Georgia
5:6	Terrill Hanks	LB	New Mexico St.
5:17	Mike Weber	RB	Ohio St.
5:32	Brett Rypien	QB	Boise St.
6:16	Terry McLaurin	WR	Ohio St.
7:17	Hamp Cheevers	CB	Boston College
7:22	Kendall Joseph	LB	Clemson

I think there are a few glaring ranking errors on the site, such as Wilkins ranked 41--probably wishful thinking on Dillard too bring ranked 72 on the site--probably no way he makes it to round three. I don't think there is any way he gets out of the top-40 picks now that Simmons got injured. I like Weber as depth, especially in case something goes south with Hunt. I wouldn't grab an RB before the 5th so that works. All that said, this would be a great draft.

Sign me up for Wilkins and McLaurin falling to us in rounds 2 and 6.

Not bad.

If John Dorsey can draft half as these mocks, this team is going to be looking hot coming into the season.

My latest mock from walkthemock.com for CLE via Default ranking

2:17 - OT Dalton Risner, Kansas St. 
3:16 - CB Trayvon Mullen, Clemson 
4:17 - TE Kahale Warring, San Diego St. 
5:6 - NT Trysten Hill, UCF 
5:17 - LB Drue Tranquill, Notre Dame 
5:32 - FS Sheldrick Redwine, Miami (FL) 
6:16 - DL John Cominsky, Charleston (WV) 
7:7 - QB Trace McSorley, Penn St. 
Don't have the nifty upgrade, but tried to keep it fairly realistic. Well, as realistic as getting DT Hill and LB Tranquill in the 5th round, I guess.

Question, how do you think LJ Collier transfers into the NFL? I can't tell if he's a Power DE or can put on enough anchor weight to be a 3-Tech.

There's a lot of talk that this is a weak class, but there are a ton of guys people like past the second round, so some guys we weren't expecting to fall will.

For DT alone... Quinnen, Wilkins, Oliver, Lawrence, Tillery, Dre'Mont, Willis, Collier, Wren, Trysten Hill, Slayton, Wise, Gaines, Khalen Saunders, Buggs.

That's 15 DT Tayne would be cool with in the 5th. Hill would be preferred over a few of them, but this class is so deep that has to fall.

Plus, some teams will like other guys that aren't even on that list--Daylon Mack, Terry Beckner etc.

Nice synergy with our "interested prospects" thread. Juan Thornhill is probably my biggest Draft Crush. I think he has excellent tools to incorporate if Steve Wilks turns out to be the Cover 3 Zone / Fire Blitz Heavy kind of coordinator he's shown in the past.

Khalen Saunders is probably my favorite 3T after the first round. His build, coupled with the way he's shown the ability to penetrate, screams high-end contributor on Day 1 to me.

Collier's skills seem to be developed more toward power. His athleticism and strength were good at the combine as well, and he weighed in a bit heavier than reported before. He has the fundamentals to be a great pro either as a strong line pusher or inside power rushing on pass downs. We could toss him at DT or LE and he'll hold his own.

tl;dr Collier is D-line Tretter: confirmed.

Where do you think he'll go? Where would you grab him?

In a vacuum, end of the 2nd or beginning of the 3rd. But in this draft, scarcity at other positions I believe will push him down mid-to-late 3rd.

Collier just feels like an eventual fit as a 5 Tech to me. His strength, hands, and 34" arms seem ideal. I think a 3-4 team will snag him up about the same range as Isaiah Buggs.
