Will say, as I've dug into things, Mike Green is absolutely legit.  

There are only 3 appropriately-sized guys in this class with over a 20% PR win rate, 99 percentile PR skills:

Abdul Carter, James Pierce, & Mike Green.  All 3 of those guys are 3-4 molds, but not undersized or poor in run-d grade by any means. Will say, Pierce would not be a bad option at 8 if Graham IDL & Johnson DB are gone.  Those 3 are the top.  I find it hard to dispute.  Gillette arguably falls into this category, but his run-d isn't at their level or else he'd be viewed much higher in this class.  

Then comes the appeal of Jalon Walker who's this offball/edge hybrid.  Overall, just a stud football player.

Then there's the consistent, hard-nose, above average type in Sawyer.  Nothing flashy, but he's a known commodity, seems like a dude primed to join an upper midwest team.  

But the guys floating around 10% PR win rates that aren't necessarily stud run defenders, I just don't want much part of.  Mykel, Shermar, Kennard are the types that worry me.  

Now, the pass rush specialists, give me those guys like JT, Princely (stud), Donavon Ez in R2-4...instantly insert them into our sub packages, PR downs and let them cook.  

Some really interesting options.

  

 

 

Heres my current, well weeks ago belief. I would be happy with any of those 3 at #8. Weird part is ranking these guys, I thought it would vary among teams and it sure does. Add in either ge dawg too, love both, both playing edge is the only way.   

Plus the combine, for many years and each passing, people have been saying it doesn't matter. For me it as valuable as ever. Id say more if got insight to the personal interviews. 

So with that in mind, I got green over Carter currently. If you place more weight on older stuff, Id even put pierce over him. 

My current feel is #8 is red hot spot for OT. If a team drafting 9-11 wants to pick of litter a LT, that seems to be the spot which it makes the most sense. 

 

I do not want Morgan to move unless its with a OT needed team thats close to #8. The worst outcome I foresee is Will Johnson Michigan, whom I feel is the best CB in the whole draft. Even if you resign Michael Jackson for like 3 years, well you just have one of the best CB and NB groups in the league. I do not want to trade to 11 unless its a huge overpay, nothing for 12-16 unless they include a future 1st. 

Honestly its as good as I felt in some time about the draft...
