    Zach hasn't declared yet. I would like to see where they put him if he does. #14 and #4 had good games too. Don't know their names.

    The latest Walter Football mock, for what this is worth, has Cunningham in the 1st.

    Smith-Schuster does not catch a lot of balls he should. He flashes but is really inconsistent.

    Williams is coming off a serious neck injury and seems to live off the back shoulder (which means he's not getting by people) but he's pretty solid across the board.

    Ford is intriguing because he really does have great hands and one of the few WR's who actually does go up and high point the ball and wins most of his contested catches. Of course, 95% of his routes are vertical routes and he's just avg as a run blocker. Is also a good returner!

    Ross is a small speed demon who also doesn't have to face his athletic level of competition often. He looks really good blowing by inferior competition, but how will he look against College's best...or the NFL's? He's a relatively poor run blocker, but is also a dynamic returner and a guy who can take a short pass to the house!

    Davis looks really good - against even more infrior opponents. He has the size and skills and catch ability we want, but can we really take another project WR after Hunter and DGB?

    What do you think of Dede Westbrook?

    Tabor is really good, but some off field stuff and people projecting him as a top 5 pick is a little scary.

    Humphrey is another good ALABAMA CB. Scary!

    King has excellent ball skills and is a very good tackler. But concerns about his speed and he's very grabby (which you can do a lot more of in college). Not sure he's a first round cb if he's short and runs say a 4.5. May fit our scheme if he doesn't have to play on an island a lot and can attack the ball in zone or man with help over the top!

    I haven't studied Lattimore and Jones enough yet.

    Where do you rank Tankersley and Jourdan Lewis?

    Why would we take yet another DT? We have too many good ones while our secondary is screaming for help.

    I could see Peppers as our Polamalu! Better in the box, attacking the LOS and playing zone blitz.

    Adams will fall when he runs I think. He looks slow.

    Jackson is intriguing though I've heard NFL people think he'll get drafted as a CB.

    DT's do a load of the work and have to be rotated. Did you know Casey is actually the only DT listed on our roster? The rest are DL or NT. The more pressure we have the less we have to have superior talent at DB. So I think getting a very talented DT that can rush and play the run is a win/win.
