RB - probably my favorites left are Florida State's James Wilder (a huge dude), Arizona State's Marion Grice (more of a Vereen-type), and RO's binkie Lorenzo Taliaferro from Coastal Carolina. Also have to be intrigued with what Belichick would do with a guy like De'Anthony Thomas.
 
TE - Gator Hoskins from Marshall is my guy as more of a pure H-back type. Joe Don Duncan from Dixie State is more of a pure TE, though he's got injury and age issues.
 
WR - so much talent left. For pure X types, there Clemon's Martavis Bryant, Rutgers' Brandon Coleman, and Wisconsin's Jared AbbrederisKevin Norwood from Alabama seems like the kind of guy they've had success with - a versatile inside/outside guy who isn't going to wow with size or athleticism but does a lot of things right.
 
OL - Ohio State's Corey Linsley got some late pub as maybe the #4 C prospect. Undersized but strong. John Urschel from Penn State is super-smart and could play G or C. Oklahoma's Gabe Ikard is another Pats-y C option. Dakota Dozier from Furman, Wesley Johnson from Vanderbilt, and Garrett Scott from Marshall are guys who played tackle in college but project better inside in the pros. A pure OT is a luxury, but at this point McGill's Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff is a fascinating option.
 
DL - DaQuan Jones from Penn State is a versatile guy that's made sense from the beginning. There are some good 3-4 DE / 4-3 DT options in Virginia's Brent Urban and Oregon's Taylor Hart.
 
ER - James Gayle from Virginia Tech is an interesting under-the-radar guy. Cassius Marsh of UCLA had a great 3-cone at the Combine. I like Howard Jones from Liberty late - he's an undersized small-school guy but a sick athlete (40.5" vert led ERs at the Combine). And pulling for Mizzou's Michael Sam to get drafted.
 
LB - Florida State's duo of Telvin Smith and Christian Jones might be good sub LB options. UCLA's Jordan Zumwalt and Michigan State's Max Bullough are more Spikes replacements but sound pretty Pats-y.
 
CB - Pierre Desir from Lindenwood is still out there. I really like Duke's Ross Cockrell's attitude. Then we have OttoC's client, 6'3" dark horse Courtney Bridget from Hampton.
 
S - Daniel Sorensen from BYU ran the best 3-cone. USC's Dion Bailey is probably the highest-rated big SS left. Not a strong pool, though it's also tough to evaluate S.
 
K - Rice's Chris Boswell, of course.

Nice rundown SN. There are a lot of guys I like listed above. Duvernay-Tardiff is a binky of mine. I've read scouting reports saying that he may be better suited to move inside to OG due to short arms, so he may not necessarily be a pure OT option. From the tape I watched, he looks to be a mauler, finishing his blocks through the whistle, often times driving his guy way off the line of scrimmage. He's also a med student, so he's smart, which BB should appreciate. He's got limited experience due to his schooling, but he's put that on hold so he can focus on football. I think he's got intriguing upside.
 
I don't know if I'd use one of our 4ths on him, but I'm not sure he'll last until the 6th.

Caraun Reid is another one I'd add to the list.... He's a good fit, plus will give Develin somebody to do crossword puzzles with

EDIT - I can only get about half the list to display properly without it getting all screwed up. Fuck ProBoards and its pathetic formatting limitations.

I trade #105 for a 3rd and 6th next year and then use the remaining 6, in some order, on OL, TE, DL, LB and then best available.

Yup. I'm surprised the Panthers are being so accommodating, but definitely a cool move on their part. 
 
I like Watkins for Philly. He's versatile and I thought he'd go in the 2nd-3rd round. He's a solid player.

A couple of solid DB's off the board early. I like Watkins and Breeland a lot. Still a few others I like (Desir, McGill, Exum, Roberson)

Exum has position flexibility too.

Pats pick Bryan Stork, C, Florida State.
 
New England clearly stockpiling players from The U's biggest rivals for Wilfork to talk trash to.

Stork...fine. Versatile, rated well.

Now Van Der Camp

Edit: I kind of preferred Bodine... But close enough

What - no WTFs that usually follow BB picks!?  Must be a very safe pick.   Like the versatility and size, but also wondering how much losing Scarnesechia will hurt his and other OL draftee development

Seattle 3 for 3 in guys I wasn't even close to expecting.
 
Cassius Marsh for some depth at LEO.
 
edit: watching the Seahawks war room and Pete can't sit still.
 
edit2: Hawks calling in pick 111 right now.
 
edit3: No, it's yet another trade, to Cincy this time.  They might end up with the most picks in this draft at the rate they are going.

Did they trade the pick?
 
Getting more late round flyers?
