Love the theory but I think it's the wrong player: I'm starting to warm up to the idea of Corey Davis at number 8. 

I know we need a safety and a defensive end, but frankly I'm not sold on Adams and Hooker is more of a FS and I'm not sold on Barnett either. 

Williams reminds me of a better version of KB.

Dalvin Cook looks like he has the vision of Trent Richardson. 

My top picks right now at number 8:

1. Davis

2. Adams

3. Hooker

4. Barnett

5. Williams

6. Fournette

 

Very high chance at least three or if not all of those players will be there when we draft. 

I am too warming up to Davis. 

Lets say Adams, Hooker and Fournette are all gone... It might not be so far fetched. 

The Senior Bowl will be HUGE for Davis' draft stock. It'll be nice to see him against some better talent.

Also agree with the Cook statement!

If we decide to get another receiver in the 4th-5th round range I like Ryan Switzer. Made his name as a PR then became a polished receiver with 96 receptions his senior season. If you look at some of the best slot receivers in the NFL like Julian Edelman,Doug Baldwin, Wes Welker (past) they were solid returners because they had short area quickness. This offense needs a guy that can work inside.

If you watch this game against NC State he does a good job of using headfakes and setting his opponent off balance.

I really like Switzer as a mid rounder for the slot.  Could use some more players that create separation.  A name to keep an eye on that might start rising now is Carlos Henderson for LA Tech.  Not much out there yet because he declared early, but speedy with tons of production as a receiver and returner.
