Round 1: William Jackson III, CB, Houston
Some might think this is a reach, but his stock has been building from quite sometime and he could very well be the best CB in this draft. Great height and length for the position with tremendous speed. Fangio and Fox will have a lot of fun with him on the roster. My favorite part about his game is his ballhawking mentality. This team could use an infusion of that.
Round 2: Hassan Ridgeway, DL, Texas
This class is loaded with DL talent, and Ridgeway is one of my favorites. I thought about Billings and Butler here, but ultimately I think both are gone by 41. Ridgeway is finally starting to get the recognition he deserves. Tremendous athlete that plays with great leverage. He's not an edge player by any means, but he's a talented interior rusher that uses arm extension well to beat single blockers. Pair him Goldman on the inside and I think we have a dynamic duo for years to come.
Round 3: Kyler Fackrell, OLB, Utah State
I've heard him called stiff in coverage, but on tape he looks solid. Prototypical stand-up rush linebacker with great length and size. Another guy the coaching staff would have a lot of fun with. Plays with a great motor and also has the athleticism desired at the position. Has the production to back up the traits as well. Very versatile. (2015 season included 15 tackles for loss, four sacks, two forced fumbles, five recovered).
Round 4: Austin Hooper, TE, Stanford
Athletic tight end with upside. Struggles with consistency in the passing game, but is dynamic with the ball in his hands. He's not the biggest of TEs, but he does show promise as a blocker mainly because he isn't afraid of contact.
Round 4: CJ Prosise, RB, Notre Dame
Could very easily go before the 4th round, but he would be an awesome addition to the club. Has size, speed, shiftiness, and hands. All the makings of a solid 3-down RB. I think he is a top 5 RB in this class. His biggest weakness right now is experience with only 1 season under his belt. I don't think it's a reach to say he would be the most talented RB on the roster if selected and would fight for playing time.
Round 5: KJ Dillon, FS/SS, West Virginia
Can Pace snag another starting safety in round 5? I think he can. Dillon, much like his teammate Karl Joseph is not afraid to help out in the run game and can be a violent tackler. Dillon and Amos can potentially be a solid duo.
Round 6: Kyle Murphy, OT, Stanford
Solid college player that can play both T and G. I see him being a very solid swing lineman at the very least.
Round 6: Dean Lowry, DL, Northwestern
Classic 3-4 DE frame. He has short arms and small hands, but there is no doubting the production. In the 6th round, you could do a lot worse than this guy. His motor cannot be questioned.
Round 7: Nate Sudfeld, QB, Indiana
Prototypical QB size. Has great feet and advanced feel for the game in my personal opinion. Has touch and arm strength. Sounds like a profile to be drafted much higher doesn't it? He has dealt with a lot of injuries at Indiana and struggles with reads and accuracy at times. Solid backup with good upside.
Ultimately, every time I try to make a mock draft I end up leaving guys off I really like or thought I would put on. I would have liked to get an OT earlier, but this is the way it fell for me. Have it at crazies. I can handle the criticism.
