Of course it all depends on round 1 and who’s on the board. Assuming they go DT in round 1, if he’s on the board I’d take Umanmielen. He might start as a situational player, but should grow into the needed Edge. If an OG, like Jackson, falls, they’d consider him. A name I have’t heard out there is UCLA LB Schwesinger. He needs to add power, but he’s athletic and has terrific instincts. He will be situationally useful(coverage) and great on special teams. With patience he could develop into a good leader in the middle. Finally if they go Edge in round 1, UF DT Farmer may be on the board. He’d be primarily an anchor in the middle. He’s not likely to become a force at collapsing pockets. Sorry to offer multiple choices, but round one forces the direction to a large extent. My expectation is they focus on the lines.

SU QB Kyle McCord. Homer and believer that he’s going to end up being a solid starter somewhere. Reports are he had a really good pro day.

Will go too early to be sleepers but 2 Wrs I think will wind up being much better than rated.

Named him before SJSU Nick Nash, Wr ran a 4.57 at the combine which will probably make him slide but he will be one of those dudes who's always open and catching the ball on Sunday. Not sure where he's pegged now I had seen him 3rd maybe even higher before the combine but I think he ran slower than they hoped.

And a kid who I've now seen 3rd round Donte Thornton from Tenn. 65 career catches in 4 years, 2 at Oregon 2 at Tenn. 10 TD's, 6 this year, over 20 a catch for his career. Very raw guy but fast as hell 4.3 at the combine, 6'5, I think he's going to eventually be a legit NFL deep threat but probably not an instant impact guy
