I added Austin Corbett, OG, Nevada

"When you look at Austin Corbett’s versatility to play guard, center, or tackle at the next level, he reminds me of a player like Mitch Morse for Kansas City. He is reliable in both space and a phone booth, plays with heavy hands and consistently finishes blocks. I think people are going to look back and wonder why he wasn’t drafted higher. Comparison: Mitch Morse"

Here's the scoop on Meeks:

 

"I said it seven months ago in my in-depth preseason report on him, and my mind has not changed much since: Quenton Meeks is arguably the smartest and most crafty cornerback prospect I’ve ever scouted. At 6’2, 200 lbs., he can turn and run both vertically and laterally really well for his size. His length and patience at the LOS will give teams goose bumps about his press man coverage potential, but his calling card is in Zone. Whether it is Cover 2 or 3, Meeks is incredibly manipulative and baits quarterbacks into throwing interceptions, which ties into his advanced eye discipline and ball skills. Because of this cerebral ability to be a step ahead in press man, off man, and Zone, as well as his ability to build off of his mistakes, I think he will be an instant contributor at the next level. Comparison: Jimmy Smith"

I am between Washington Miller (OT) and Miller (WR) here. Someone push me in a direction.

Malik Jefferson is easily a top 40 player, probably between 35 and 40. Aggressive, instinctive, plays the ball, and fights downhill from moment the ball is snapped. He should already be on the list, and since he isnt, he should be the vote now.

What?

He has all the tools in the box and has no idea how to use them.

Watch him go downhill against the run, its like second nature to him. He needs to become more aware of lanes and understand the schematics that unfold in front of him (in terms of the offensive lines play) but that comes with study. He skates to the ball like its a second nature to him, and plays downhill immediately. Very similar to Lance Briggs way back in college; needing to study and understand but having that natural fight and float to the ball.

And yes @Texas_OutLaw7 i am aware im higher on Jefferson than others. I read many places he plays like he has tunnel vision and is a day 3 pick, with possibility of latter half day 2, some saying rounds 3 or 4, etc.

I think he comes off the board much earlier. Athletic, good build, good vs pass, aggressive on the run, and where he struggles is more with recognition than anything. And if he is willing to study, that is easily learned. Id be surprised if he isnt gone by middle of round 2.

[Texas_OutLaw7]

He should be drafted high. He has all the tools. Just hasn't put it together.

My question would be his passion for the game
