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.

Good School.  Your alumni are probably my favorite coaches in the NFL.   I have seen him projected to Center.  I am always leary of small school OL since we had experiences with Kugbila (4th-Valdosta St) and Silatolu (2nd-Midwestern State), but my perspective on Grant is different. First, I think William & Mary is a bigger, more established football school than those mentioned here. He is much more fluid and technically sound than those I just mentioned.  He could backup C, something we need, but possibly be our swing T as well.  I am on board.

Thor Griffith. He and Brown coming back could take our run d from worst to very competitive 

Nice call--I have been eyeballing Thor as well--I think he was a Harvard boy at one point--prolly smarter than Special Juan--and he has good size.  I noticed that a lot of DTs in the NFL were undrafted--so there has to be value late--

Based on Stats alone:  Antwaun Powell-Ryland. I could see a fifth round pick on him--6'3" 255.  Sleeper who impressed at SR bowl

I am starting to see a lot of love for Tyler Shough as QB3

I agree with this. Always felt he was underrated as an NFL prospect.

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

Ollie Gordon II - RB 

Something tells me this kid might end up being the best back in this draft when all is said and done. Blend of speed and power, plus probably the best hands of any RB in the draft. Projected 3rd round right now, but I bet he goes in the 2nd.

before the senior bowl it was Mike Green but that ship has long sailed
