Josh Sweat, a guy I can't get behind until maybe the 4th round. Runs like a cheetah in shorts, but plays like an elephant in pads. The guy plays slow and has a slow release off the line. That's one place the scouting reports are absolutely on point. He doesn't seem to go hard and give that great second effort either. You can't teach either of those things very well. He just isn't the type of player I want to watch. Maybe you take a flier later that he can turn it around, but I think the knee injuries have him delaying, looking for a chop block first before he's willing to give it a go. I dunno, something isn't right. That kid has first-rate athleticism and should look like he got shot out of a cannon off the snap. You should see outstanding closing speed to the ball in space. He just doesn't show either to me.

NFL.com has Reid as a 1st-2nd round pick and nfldraftscout has him as their 59th rated player overall.
On tape, he seems to be a top 45 pick. I don't see how he last until 78.

I don't mind Teller.

I really like Arrion Springs and he proved his doubters wrong running a 4.47 at his pro day. The only thing that sucks about him is his hands, he can't catch a cold. The good thing is, he can cover anyone and he gets his hands on a boatload of balls. He'd be a great pickup that late, and with his size and tackling ability wouldn't be a bad FS convert consideration either.

There is no way in hell that Mike White makes it past the 4th round IMO. Hell, I'd bet he goes before the 4th. He's the last NFL sized QB that can put zip on the ball, throw accurately, and read a defense in one package. He's easily the 7th best QB in this draft and there's a huge drop-off after him.

I'm liking Ramsay more than the Cothren kid from PSU you had in some previous mocks. He's not real long, but he's got some burst and he's a decent player. He saw alot of double-teams, but he also showed he really struggles to split them. Also, he seems to struggle to disengage overall. Needs some work in that area. Also going to say I worry about his gap discipline in the pros with that disengagement issue, as he generally takes wide arcs to pressure the QB.

Tanking... bah... pick him up as an UDFA maybe. 1 season of production and size issues. Dont know how he ran at the K-State pro day. Wow me and maybe I'll say take a flier.
