Packerraymond Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Why not start this ASAP, not every year the draft is in our backyard. Based on my notes and looking around at some early big boards, here's how I'd rather the draft strengths from strongest to weakest this year by position: EDGE, DL, RB, CB, TE, WR, OT, S, QB, IOL, LB. Here's my watchlist I've got saved for EDGE and DL (IMO our biggest needs next year and the drafts biggest strengths) so you can follow along during the CFB season, I'll update this Oct/Nov after some games are played: DL: (Not in any particular order) Deone Walker Kentucky Tyleik Williams OSU Dontay Corleone Cincinnati Kenneth Grant Michigan Howard Cross Notre Dame Nazir Stackhouse Georgia Bear Alexander USC TJ Sanders South Carolina Davin Vann NC State Walter Nolen Ole Miss Thor Griffith Louisville Tim Smith Alabama Rylie Mills Notre Dame Mason Graham Michigan Shemar Turner Texas AM Joey Slackman Florida Cam Jackson Florida Joshua Farmer Florida State Aaron Graves Iowa Yahya Black Iowa JJ Pegues Ole Miss Nash Hutmacher Nebraska Jamaree Caldwell Oregon Aeneas Peebles Virginia Tech Alfred Collins Texas EDGE: James Pearce Jr Tennessee JT Tuimoloau Ohio State Jack Sawyer Ohio State Nic Scourton Texas AM Princely Umanmielen Ole Miss Landon Jackson Arkansas Payton Patrick Florida State Ashton Gillette Louisville RJ Oben Duke Jashedn Davis Wake Forest Tyler Batty BYU Jordan Burch Oregon Antwaun Powell-Ryland Virginia Tech Josiah Stewart Michigan Mykel Williams Georgia Abdul Carter Penn State Kaimon Rucker North Carolina Dani Dennis-Sutton Penn State Cashius Howell Texas AM Collin Oliver OK State Ethan Burke Texas Steve Linton Baylor Derek Moore Michigan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Wrote this guy down watching Alt and Fisher. Got Alt a few times last year. 6'3 270, Gute sized EDGE. Keep his name on the mind for next year, catch some Louisville games if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Johnson, Michigan; Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame; Travis Hunter, Colorado; Tacario Davis, Arizona; Jabbar Muhammad, Oregon (Washington transfer); Denzel Burke, Ohio State; Ricardo Hollman, Wisconsin; Sebastian Castro, Iowa; Ephesians Prysock, Washington (Arizona transfer); Cobee Bryant, Kansas I think all these guys would've gone top 100 if eligible this year, as we saw with Kalen King, they still need to perform this year but that will be a goo starting spot for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 I have developed a @MacReady style crush on Kentucky's Deone Walker for next year. Unfortunately with his skillset if he continues down the path he's on and gets down to 320-330 range with good muscle, there's no way this dude isn't a top 5-10 pick. If you want to watch a true unicorn DL next year, DVR Kentucky when they are on. A man this big should not move like this, guy is an Albert Haynsworth clone with hopefully a better head on his shoulders. I caught him for the first time in Feb because they drop this big *** dude into coverage on Trevin Wallace's INT vs Florida and the guy looks pretty smooth doing it lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 MacReady’s only draft crushes are on defensive backs, so that is a false statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosser80 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Dontay Corleone is my guy if our run defense doesn't improve. Stick him in as an anchor and pile creator at worst and that'll draw enough attention to free up the other frontline defenders to clean up the mess. Also....see how he'll massacre their boy....after he makes them an offer they can't refuse.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly kind of a weird comp, but for like the first 24 games Victor Cruz was starting in the NFL, no one could stop him. Burden looks like that in college.

Then I decided it’s in GB so just embrace all the ridiculousness. Hope they throw a hell of a party and highlight the team and NFL history.

CWood21 Posted Saturday at 12:23 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:23 PM Sorry @ThatJerkDave Luther Burden is going to go top 5 and nowhere near Green Bay's pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a great tradition. Although when I was a kid and they practiced and stayed at St. Norbert's College, it wasn't just bike riding. People would also flip the tailgate down and a couple of players would jump in, and they'd get a ride to the locker-room. I remember we gave Bob Brown a lift one time. Largest human being I'd ever seen at that point. I think I was 5. Edited Saturday at 01:40 PM by Old Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Mizzou can keep it up, but they lost a LOT last year. Most of that defense is gone. Based on pre-draft data gathering, Kentucky has a chance to be last year's Mizzou as long as their highly touted freshman QB plays up to par.
