Don't know what Murray's hand-size is yet. If it's say, 9 1/4 (the samey as JG) or above, I think he's fine. I generally only consider DE's that are 6-2+ 260+, as that seems to be the threshold to get you drafted by NE on the edge, at least in Rd's 1-4... and it's better if they have long arms.

. Me too. The safety position is my “leader in the clubhouse” to be the first position drafted by NE this spring. I’d love Raap. S, TE, DT or QB... depending on who is there, for me. I've profiled it in the past, but Rapp is eerily similar to #23, when he came out of Oregon... heck, both are of partial Chinese descent! Who else do you like in Rd 1? Well, as of now, my Rnd 1 targets would be... Raap Wilkins Lawrence Metcalf Hockenson Fant

Here's the top of my board at this point: Kyler Murray TJ Hockenson Taylor Rapp Christian Wilkins Nasir Adderley Noah Fant Amani Hooker Dalton Risner Raekwon Davis Julian Love If they shock the world and go WR, I could easily add in Metcalf, Ridley and Samuel.

Solid. I’d be really concerned about drafting Kyler, but I don’t think NE will have to worry about. I think some team will roll the dice on him much earlier. I would understand the gamble if NE did have a chance at him and drafted him, but to me, he just looks too small. I’d be on board with the rest of those names in Rnd 1 in a heartbeat

Then what is going to happen with Trey Flowers? Sure hope they keep him. And this year is deep in Edge Rushers I'm kinda meh with this edge class, outside of the top guys.
Really? Interesting perspective. I'd like to know your thoughts on the following: 1) Nick Bosa 2) Clelin Ferrell 3) Montez Sweat 4) Zach Allen 5) Jaylon Ferguson 6) Rashan Gary 7) Josh Allen (More an OLB) 8) Anfernee Jennings (More an OLB) 9) Austin Bryant 9) Chales Omenihu 11) Chase Winovich 12) Landis Durham 13) Ed Oliver (I think he should be moved outside) 14) Brian Burns 15) Oshane Ximenes 16) Isaiah Buggs 17) Parker Hesse 18) Jonathan Ledbetter 19) Joe Gaziano

Really? Interesting perspective. I'd like to know your thoughts on the following: 1) Nick Bosa- He'll prob be the #1 or #2 pick. 2) Clelin Ferrell- Top 10 3) Montez Sweat- If he's really around 240, I don't see him as an option, at least not in the first few rounds. 4) Zach Allen- I like Allen a lot, but have players higher on my board in Rd 1. Like him more in Rd 2. 5) Jaylon Ferguson- Same as Allen. 6) Rashan Gary- The measurable and athleticism are there, but he screams boom/bust to me, and the motor doesn't always run hot. I get it if they take a chance on his upside. 7) Josh Allen (More an OLB)- Top 5-10. 8) Anfernee Jennings (More an OLB)- Returning to school. 9) Austin Bryant- I like him more in the middle rounds. 9) Chales Omenihu- Probably should've included him in my last post to waz... I think he's a Top 40 player that could end up in Rd 1. 11) Chase Winovich- A tick undersized, but I'd be fine with him on Day 2. 12) Landis Durham- Haven't given him a look yet. 13) Ed Oliver (I think he should be moved outside)- Prob Top 10 as a interior DL. 14) Brian Burns- Way too slight (220-230 range?) and will prob go in the Top 10-15. 15) Oshane Ximenes- Maybe Day 2. 16) Isaiah Buggs- Talent and size is there, but here are questions about his motor, which means he prob won't be high on my list. 17) Parker Hesse- Haven't given him a look yet, but I like Anthony Nelson on Day 2. 18) Jonathan Ledbetter- Haven't given him a look yet. 19) Joe Gaziano- I think he returned to school? Local boy that I had on my watch list. See above.

Omenihu can play, and he’s got the size that NE seems to covet.

I only saw one drive on the game today. It was the one that Rypien led for a TD. He looked good on that drive.

Wise has had a heck of a week at the E/W Shrine Game... be curious to see how he factors in, as he's listed at 6-3 290, which isn't something they generally target. Yes, I know that he took Easley in Rd 1 of the 2014 draft... but Easley was considered a special talent in that class... one that dropped due to injury. Recently they've been rolling with more big boys on early downs, then maybe kicking some edge guys inside on obvious passing downs.

Here's what I'd love to see BB continue to do. Draft a TE or two (with at least one having strong in-line abilities), and maybe another good back, and continue to build up the ground and pound aspect of their offense. As good Brady is, I think he's even better, when play-action is rolling.
With the league seemingly moving towards smaller, quicker LB's to compensate for the pass-happy direction that the league has taken, BB could run counter to that, and exploit these smaller LB's by running at teams. Just something to think about.
I say all this because I really, really, really want them to draft Georgia RB Elijah Holyfield... and create a three-headed monster at RB... well, I guess four, if you include the oft-injured Rex Burkhead.

Great post, mb. Love that idea. Hopefully they do as you said on O in the draft, and add a speedy LB, a couple of DL (at least) and 1 or 2 Safeties, and I would call our draft a home run.

Small School RB I like is Devin Singletary. Man, quick, and runs with good power for his size. 5th Round or later, good gamble. Lead the Nation last year in TD's.

I’ll state the obvious here, but with all of the underclassmen who have declared, the talent depth of this class looks pretty incredible. What a great year to have a surplus of draft ammo!

A pretty good mock draft IMO. THings I liked: - Hockenson at #12. I believe among TEs, there is him and then others who are not close. Definitely a round 1 guy to me. That high I do not mind. My opinion has evolved over "reaches". Once you get outside the top 10, I believe you draft the guy who you think will have the biggest impact at improving the team. It does not matter if everyone else.
- 5 edge guys + 2 small, quick DTs who played inside in college (Oliver and Gary) in the first round. I believe this DE class is very exciting. DE and S are the most exciting positions to me. With the five DEs the writer picked, there is another five that you could pick late in the first that you can argue is more deserving.
- Charles Omenihu in the first round. I do not mind this at all. As I said in #2, this edge class is deep with edge guys who arguably deserve round 1 rating.

Yeah, Hockenson is a f'n stud, and while I think he's the best TE in the draft, his teammate is pretty fantastic to, be it a different type of player. And I agree, you like who you have them high on your board, and you're on the clock, you take them. Yeah, while I'd be all over Taylor Rapp or Kyler Murray here (with Hockenson, Wilkins and Fant off the board), I really like Omenihu, and would be good with that pick.
