I think the top choices for us should be Johnny Newton DT Illinois, Malik Nabers WR LSU, Rome Odunze WR Washington,
Newton could really help this DT room and elevate the DLine to the next level with more steady pressure up the middle, which will stop QBs and RBs from waltzing up the middle as they have for so long with us, Newton also has insane explosiveness off the line with a great pass rushing toolkit which could create some incredible stunt opportunities with Greenard and WAJ
Nabers has the potential to become an Amazing deep threat with amazing acceleration and strength, could definitely be used in WR screens as well if we wanted to. Athletic freak as well with weighing over 200 pounds while only 6’0 and still has a sub 4.4. He could fit in cleanly as the deep threat we need.
Odunze is another guy who could become that third key piece in this WR room with Collins and Dell breaking out. Big Frame but not as big as Nico, has the speed to be a Z receiver as well if we wanted him too. Runs a 4.34 40 yard dash, could be our new deep threat if we needed him too, 4.34 is insanely fast for a guy who is 6’3 215 pounds.
Discuss in the comments!
If we are looking at DT don’t rule out Maason Smith from LSU
CB Nate Wiggins out of Clemson is a DAWG. Think he leads P5 corners in PFF Grade. Where we are likely to be drafting, Kool-Aid McKinstry is gone. Another interesting player is Cooper Dejean out of Iowa. Can play Corner, Nickel, Safety, returns Kicks/Punts for them, also Iowa runs jet sweeps to him. The guy is an athlete. I’m sure Coaches can find a use for someone like that.
Gotta be best DT available in the 1st round. This year there are some VERY nice WRs coming out so we can for sure grab one in the 2nd, or even trade up higher in the 2nd.
