I’ve liked Downs & Delane for a while, but those guys are blue chippers. Here are some favorites for each day.
Day 1: SAF Dillon Thieneman – he may be my favorite player in this draft. He’s got elite athleticism, work ethic, mental make-up, and the tape is good too. He may be a better tackler than Downs. I’d take him at 11 without thinking twice about it.
Day 2: CB D’Angelo Ponds – he’s a DAWG. He’s not the biggest, but he plays bigger than his stature.
Day 3: CB Tacario Davis – 6’4” CB with 4.4 speed, long arms, and fits the scheme. I’ve seen a little tape on him and I think he’d be a great addition.
Honorable mention: WR Deion Burks – discount Tyreek Hill IMO. He’d be an upgrade over Atwell and with Willis’ penchant for throwing deep, he’d make a great vertical WR.
