Jaylen Samuels, WR/TE/FB/RB, NC State

 

lol wut?

He's probably a FB in the NFL which sucks for him given how few teams utilize the position these days. Plus, we drafted two Swiss army knife players last year in CMC and Samuel.

Using Samuels just at FB would be a waste. He has solid receiving skills and is a playmaker.

Not at all

Remember when we had Tolbert.

  We begged for a FB to be a lead blocker, not a runner and Pass catcher like Tolbert was used.

Tolbert in 2013 and 2015 where he play the full 16 games he had

101 carries and 62 carries plus 27 and 18 receptions.

In 2014 in 8 game he had 37 carries and 12 receptions.

So he would actually really be utilized here

1. Carlton Davis, CB, Auburn

Even with Gettleman gone, I stuck by the bpa strategy in rounds 1 and 2. Carlton Davis would give us another physical corner and he has potential to pass Bradberry as the #1 guy. Davis, Bradberry, Worley would give us nice depth at corner. 

2. Isaiah Wynn, OG/C, Georgia

Isaiah Wynn is a bit undersized but he was dominant at Georgia and is versatile. I am banking on us resigning Norwell, so I think Wynn could be the eventual replacement for Kalil at center but in the meantime he provides depth for the inevitable injury.

3. Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State

An absolutely dynamic receiving option who has also shown the willingness and ability to contribute as a blocker. TEs typically take a year or two before they make an impact so sliding in behind Olsen for a couple season would be beneficial for Gesicki. However, I think he could make a similar impact as Dickson in his rookie season.

3. Josh Adams, RB, Notre Dame

Downhill runner who shows good vision and cutback ability. Ran behind a very good offensive line at Notre Dame but still displayed a lot of traits you like to see in a between-the-tackles running back. He appears to be a very nice compliment to McCaffrey and replacement for Stew.

5. Siran Neal, S, Jacksonville State

Small-school prospect who played mostly a mix of corner and safety, but also had some time at LB. His best position in the pros seems to be safety. Good combination of coverage skills and tackling. He takes good angles at the ball carrier and he can also lay some big hits.

6. Tre'Quan Smith, WR, Central Florida

Somewhat lanky receiver but has good speed. Smith put up big numbers in UCF's explosive offense. He ran a fairly simple route-tree in college but has big-play ability. His production level makes him worth a late-round pick. Could develop into a decent receiver.

7. Bruce Hector, DT, South Florida

Interior pass-rusher who could be available late. 13 tackles for loss and 7 sacks last season as a DT. 

7. Austin Proehl, WR, North Carolina

Proehl had a shortened season due to an arm injury but has shown flashes of being a decent all-around receiver. If he's available here I could see Hurndog taking him because of his name. Give him a year on the practice squad and he could develop into a solid depth option.

Did this one today...sure no safety but I'd take this right now hands down...

Not a fan of taking a CB round 1 unless its Jackson

Wynn has been one of my favorite interior OL in this class behind Nelson.  He is just niw starting to get attention and shooting up boards.  He is going to be a early 2nd or could even go into the 1st to like a Atlanta

Gesicki is a name to keep an eye out for.  Kid is a Freak, good route runner and receiver.  Not the best blocker but a willing one.  6'6 250 and says he's going to run in the 4.5 range at the combine.  He has blown past Fumagalli
