Daniel Jeremiah was talking about "red star" players on Path to the Draft. Essentially, those players regardless of position that you love, that have that something extra. Here are a few of mine.

Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn - (Projected top 10 pick)
Beats double teams, gives great effort, physical, run stopper.

Justin Jefferson, WR., LSU - (Projected 1st round pick)
Tough, great hands, good route runner, deceptive speed.

Kenneth Murray, LB Oklahoma - (Projected 1st round pick)
Murray can be a difference maker in the middle of the defense, with sideline to sideline speed.

Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado - (Probably 2nd rounder)
Shenault is terrific after the catch, a Deebo Samuels type.

AJ Dillon, RB, Boston College (Probably late 2nd/early 3rd)
Maybe the most physical runner in this draft. Jerome Bettis type.
 
The guys I see who look to me like future All Pro's(potentially of course)are:

Young
Okudah
Simmons
Brown
Becton
Jeudy
Lamb

Players I have built up a real attachment too include Cesar Ruiz, Jalen Reagor and Cam Akers. And on defense Kinlaw, Chaisson and Jeremy Chinn.
 
Dillon is someone I hope Miami drafts. But there hasn't been anything written about the Dolphins pre draft interest.
 
Dillon seems like a short yardage/goal line specialist too me.

I would take him Day 3 if I have already drafted a more all around RB.

I don't see a straight Jordan Howard/Dillon pairing as a workable tandem.
 
Guard Dotson from Louisiana in the 4th
James Morgan QB FIU in the 5th as a fallback option/developmental guy, even if we already drafted a QB at 5
WR Joe Reed Virginia in the 5th or 6th
C Temple Matt Hennessy in Rd 2

Swift would be a nice complement to Howard. Ayers maybe.
 
I've been on the Murray wagon for awhile. I have him as the dark horse of this draft. Could be the most impactful player drafted this year.

Would be thrilled if Miami drafted him. I think he goes around that #18 spot.
 
No sense wasting too much time falling in love with a bunch of guys expected to go top 12-15. Were more than likely taking a QB so drooling over Simmons, Brown, Okudah kind of a waste. However I did just that in another thread about Okudah about an hour ago.

Everyone seems to love Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, Higgins or Reagor but we’re not drafting any of them with a No.1 WR already locked into the roster at a below market value for his talents. I’d caution you guys to stop day dreaming about that position and start looking at better values later on. Duvernay and Gandy-Golden intrigue me in the third, as does Hightower a little later on.

I love the idea of Kenneth Murray at 26. All-around LB with pass rush ability. Also like his teammate Neville Gallimore at 70 but I don’t think he makes it there.

Theres a lot like with this RB class that’s why taking one before 56 is likely off the table for me.

After the big three Akers, CEH, Dillon, Kelley, Vaughn and Evans have a lot to offer. I like the Illinois State kid, James Robinson as a possible double up at the position later on.

Sure would be nice to have another late third rounder. The TEs from Dayton and FAU look appealing. I like where we are at with Gesicki but I want that position to be a force.

Temple ILB Shaun Bradley can play, Texas S Brandon Jones also could be a strong candidate for the second half of a double up at S.

Reager...

Slot and outside. Can probably pick him in the 2nd.

I certainly would love to have him on my team. Will be hard to pass on a S, OT, or C with similar grades to take him at 39 though.

Definitely out of the question for me as far as taking a WR in the first. Barring a miracle and Jeudy fell to 18.
