I know it will probably be a little ridiculous to expect to know who will fall and who won't, but I had some time while traveling.....so anyway. I will update this after free agency. Also, many stocks will rise and fall after combine. But for now:

(used Walterfootball for rounds 1-4)

RD 1

T.J. Clemmings- OT 6'5" 309lbs (alternative pick: OLB Vic Beasley)

Former High School basketball player. Very athletic, but still raw. However, he does have the size and skill-set to start at LT. I know people don't wanna hear it out this way but, at least it will be an upgrade from Bell.

RD 2

Rashad Greene- WR 6'0" 180lbs (alternate pick: Jalen Collins- CB)

A receiver that isn't raw!?!? Amazing right? Gettleman loves the pick of KB, but bringing in a receiver who runs great routes and consistently catches the ball will do wonders. Not to mention he played with KB the year they won the Championship. Even with KB in the line-up he had over 1,000 yards receiving and 9 TDs. Pair them back up?

RD 3

Ty Montgomery- WR/KR 6'2" 220lbs (alternate pick: D.J. Humphries- OT)

It's likely someone will wise up and take a shot with Montgomery with or without a successful combine. He may be snatched up at least by round 2. If he does fall to us, expect him to be the pick. Successful returner who is very dangerous with the ball in his hands. He only had 600 yards receiving last year, but had almost 1,000 the year before that.

RD 4

Tony Washington- DE/OLB 6'3" 250lbs (alternate pick: CB Senquez Golson)

Grabbing Washington here makes sense. Our coaching staff has talked about wanting a few guys for STs, Addison being mentioned. I believe this guy compares to Addison and would be a great STs contributor. He is also versatile on defense allowing the staff to use him in a Colin Jones type of way. Golson could be the pick here if Gettleman believes Bene can play outside. However, he may wait till the next round.

***Also, this could be a potential trade time. Gettleman has shown the willingness to trade up in later rounds.***

(used Draft-site for rounds 5-7)

RD 5 ***TRADE UP*** [2015 5th and 7th]

Cam Thomas- CB 6'1" 190lbs

Big, physical corner who doesn't mind helping in the run game. The talent is there, but much like Norman, the mindset needs some tweaking. According to CBS Sports, he has a tendency to leave assignment for the big play. However, with all the veterans on this defense, I believe they can help him become more disciplined. Yes, that includes Norman. He can speak from experience. Should be helpful on STs as well.

RD 6 (LAST PICK due to trade)

Neville Hewitt- OLB/S 6'2" 217lbs (alternate pick: Austin Shepard)

Played hybrid safety before joining Marshall. Honestly, I would be surprised to see him here. Strong tackler and quick, but undersized coming out the draft for LB. I would play him at safety. Would be a great Kam Chancellor-like player for us. Harper would be a great mentor. Also, should be excellent for an early STs role.

[Expect this guy to be picked up by us as soon as Getts sees fit.]

1. J. Strong WR ASU

2. Jake Fisher OT Oregon

3. Tyler Lockett WR Kansas State

4. James Sample S Louisville

5. BPA

6. BPA

7. BPA

Gettlemen is biased toward the DL....I would be shocked if we don't take a DE in the top 3 rounds. BPA takes into account a drafters preference and with Hardy gone it will be a need too.

Vic Beasley is a beast. we'd have the best LB corp in the NFL and perhaps one of the best of all time.

seriously doubt that he's there for us but man id be thrilled if he was.

Beasley IMO will Everette Brown like in a 4-3 in the NFL.

I'm of the thought we bring in an older veteran in the last couple years of his career at DL specifically DE. I think we also invest in FA at corner and OT if possible. I think we would be better served getting a proven corner in free agency, an older stop-gap tackle to lead the line with Kalil and think we draft a massive space eater DT to replace Edwards or Cole at tackle in rounds 4-7. Each of those athletes in my 4 round mock at the beginning of this thread have an excellent chance of being the best on the board when we pick. A lot can happen in between now and then, however.

NYG model put the emphasis on drafting DL though...that is my reasoning. They tended to do despite being loaded and with huge holes. It also wasn't like they only did it nc a stud fell to far. They would almost gamble on guys bc they valued the DL so much in the draft
