Who will already be gone at 30?--Here's a worst case scenario/projection type exercise...

The case with the 4-3 DEs is interesting and could rely on how far Bosa falls.  If it takes until pick 9+ for him to go, then Dodd or Lawson could very well fall to us.  When thinking of the amount of 4-3 defenses and R1 offensive fits; a lot could actually ride on who/when takes Bosa creating a domino effect. 

Overall--Usually there's 1-3 guys I just really want and this year it's Shepard, Killebrew, & Judon...and I don't know if we'll be in position for some without a trade.  Therefore, I'm trying to stay as open as possible haha.     

Im a big fan of those three, Tapper, and Hargrave.  I'd sign up right now for a draft of Shepard / Hargrave / Killebrew / Judon or Tapper.  Throw a CB in there for good measure in the fifth (Miller?).

Some might say that could be reaching according to media mock drafts, but I think that's a boatload of talent.  And would tick off a few needs as well.

In the scenario it would be Ogbah

I mean,  if Gettleman picks D Henry there is going to be a lot of folks having to swallow their pride and realize they don't know jack.

Disregarding the spot we may take him and all other things aside, the kid does in fact fit here.  The divisive prospects always seem to end up being the pick.  Happened with both KB and Shaq.

The WVU fan in me wants us to pick Karl Joesph.

So, we know spit and swallow will be off the board at pick 30. Who else will be?

I hope you went to Petco and bought some extra hamsters in preparation for a potential D Henry pick. 

Personally, I'm all for it. Gettleman may not know as much about scouting and drafting as @nickzz but he's slowly building a reputation as a GM who may know something about building a complete SB roster.

Derrick Henry would be a great pick and his highlights are great with or without large holes opened up by his offensive line.

If I had to guess...Goff, Wentz, Elliott, Tunsil, Stanley, Conklin, Decker, Treadwell, Coleman, Doctson, Bosa, Buckner, Lawson, Dodd, Reed, Robinson, Rankins, Billings, Jack, Ragland, Lee, Floyd, Ramsey, Hargreaves, Alexander, Jackson, and Apple will be gone ahead of us, plus maybe another team takes a QB in Lynch. 

So that's 27-28 names, and still a lot of talent on the board: Henry x2, Thomas, Fuller, Shepard, Spriggs, Ifedi, Kelly, Ogbah, Spence, Butler, Jones, Nkemdiche, Burns, Joseph, Cravens, Bell, etc. Plus Jaylon Smith is a total wildcard. Top 3 talent, could free fall though depending on the medical re-check. 

Yeah the med reports on Jaylon will be huge although it's been reported in the past few weeks he's leg pressing among other things to prove his legs are a-ok.  Given the success of LBs lately like Luke, TD, Wagner, Mack, Miller, etc., teams will be targeting these athletic ones early in my opinion.

Agreed, I can't lie, I'd be intrigued at the potential of taking a top talent like that if he falls to 30, even if he doesn't play until 2017. I know, another linebacker, but Shaq-Luke-Smith would be a hell of a unit for the future. 

I just realized I kinda just went on a tangent with my earlier post instead of answering the question. Of the names listed, Taylor Decker really stands out. IMO a top 10 defensive talent. Rankins and Billings could also be considered BPA.

I'd take Ogbah without thinking about it in that scenario.
