Your final predictions (#30)

A lot of mocks have us taking Kevin Dodd, but I don't think so.

I'm going to predict Artie Burns. This guy looks like he doesn't really understand how to play CB all that well. But if you teach him proper technique and discipline he's basically Josh Norman 2.0. Same kind of arm length, speed, quickness, ball hawk, all he lacks is technique. He wants to stand up and loaf and play whatever way feels easy and good. Fix that and you have another Josh Norman.

I just went and looked at Vernon Butler on Draftbreakdown,  and I have to say, I am very unimpressed.  In the games they have up, he rarely made a play.  And with all the hype he's received, I expected him to be doubled much of the time, but he wasn't.  Sometimes, yes, but not usually.  And he was stonewalled one on one most of the time.  And even on the rare times he was in position to make the play, he whiffed.  Basically, he had minimal impact.

I'm assuming the hype is due to his basic skillset and not his actual play.  I'm sure he probably has better tape out there that I don't have access to, but I've seen enough to not have a lot of confidence in him having much immediate impact.

Really want Butler, but I'm not sure he is there.. Think we trade up in the second again. 

Round 1: Shaq Lawson 

Round 2: Sterling Shepard 

Round 3: traded

Round 4: Harlan Miller 

I wouldn't have minded Butler until I went and watched him play.  Now I'm scared as crap that he actually will be the pick.

I predict Dodd will be selected before Shaq Lawson.

Tough call.

If Dodd or Ogbah are there, I think one of them is the pick. ... but there are a lot of interesting players who could be options.

Butler, Will Jackson III, the two Henrys..., Sterling Shepard.   It all depends on who Gettleman grades highest and whether he is thinking of trading up in the 2nd to grab another one of these guys who might be a slight reach at #30.

 

I'll predict we pick Ogbah.
