Who is your way too early mid-round draft crush?

I'm biased because I went to William & Mary, but I think Charles Grant will be a steal in the mid rounds (3rd - 4th). Dude is insanely athletic for an offensive lineman and I think he would be a great swing offensive lineman that could be plugged in to any OL spot. If he was taller / heavier and played against FBS competition, I think he goes in the top 50

I think a team with a zone heavy scheme like the eagles will probably take him, but hoping we do.

No idea where they'll go, but Charles Grant and Gunnar Helm both tick boxes for me.

Helm paired with Sanders would make me feel much happier about our tight end situation.

Grant coming in and given time to develop (and replace BC if he doesn't return) would offer the depth needed on O-line.

Malachi Moore seems a good prospect at safety, but I don't know a huge amount about him.

At WR, I like both Ricky White III and Nick Nash. Ricky reminds me a little of Diontae. Has some shiftiness and suddenness. Nick Nash is a former QB turned WR. Very good at contested catches. reminds me a little of Tee Higgins.

At DT, I like Patrick Jenkins. Maybe a late late or UDFA guy that plays 3-4 End.

I’m praying we use those picks on the less valuable defensive roles that fit a fast, two-high, odd-front scheme. We still haven’t really committed to building what Evero wants, and we need to fill in the gaps.
 

Coverage linebackers and safeties who can tackle: 

Jay Higgins - LB - Iowa

Jay Bassa - LB - Oregon

Malachi Moore - S - Bama

Kevin Winston Jr. - S - Penn State

 

True nose tackles:

Jamaree Caldwell - NT - Oregon

Jordan Phillips - NT - Maryland

Jamaree Caldwell

 

O2 as more of a Luvu comp and Caldwell as the nose tackle we have yet to sign for the past 7ish years

Caldwell is one of mine--I love the depth at IDL positions this year.  In my mocks, I tend to draft 3 because I can't believe someone we could use is sitting there in round 5, for example.

I also like Jordan Phillips from Maryland. 

I liked TCU WR Jack Bech before the Sr Bowl--love him now.

Skattelbo, RB Ariz St.  Dawg eating Dawg

Here is my 7th round / UDFA sleeper:  Jackson Hawes, TE Ga Tech.  Watched him during Sr Bowl practice and he caught my eye a time or two.  Can pass block, lead block, pull, and catch the ball.  With no Tremble or the future Hall of Famer Ian Thomas on the roster, we need a player who is versatile and willing to block.

    • I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. 
    • What happened to King? Was he a no show?
    • think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
