This first draft is if everything would fall into place!
From "Walk The Mock"
1- Leonard Fournette (LSU)
2- OJ Howard (BAMA)
3- Montravious Adams (AUBURN)
4- Cameron Sutton (TENN)
5- Daniel Carlson (AUBURN)
6- Ryan Switzer (UNC)
7- Daeshon Hall (TEX A&M)
Personally I believe this could be a game changing draft class for us if all these could actually fall into these spots (an obviously we'll have some compensatory picks thrown in there). I would grade this with an A+. I want Foster in the worst way but if Fournette fell in our lap at 9 he is a must take! Him and Gio would be a prefect combo, and make Hill trade bait. Howard, a lot like LF, a physical freak. I mean Eifert and Howard would be similar to Gronk and Bennett in NE. Green, Boyd, Eifert, Howard, and Fournette, come on y'all! Adams to be a athletic young replacement for Peko and create a monster rotation of Atkins, Billings and Adams, yes please! Sutton to replace Dre if he leaves, similar build and skills. Carlson because he the best K in the draft even though I would prefer signing Walsh as a FA. Switzer is awesome slot and return man, Pac-Man is getting older and having Switzer and Ericsson to handle returns would just continue to create depth at all positions. Plus Switzer would compliment Green and Boyd great in the slot. Hall is what we look for in DE's big and fast.
This Draft is more like what we will see come Draft Day.
1- Reuben Foster Alabama
2- Demarcus Walker Florida St.
3- Pat Elflein Ohio St.
4- Sam Hubbard Ohio St.
5- Chad Kelly Ole Miss
6- Dan Skipper Arkansas
7- James Quick Louisville
I would grade this draft with a B, even though I LOVE the Foster and Walker picks, and really like the Kelly pick.
Last one is an AGAINST THE GRAIN Draft.

Thats enough drafting for me until after the combine. Let me know what y'all think.
