1.) Dan Williams NT Tennessee - Maybe not BPA but close enough and huge need.
2.) Dorin Dickerson TE Pittsburgh - Total mismatch weapon for Henne.
3.) Mike Williams WR Syracuse - Character questions but WR1 skills.
4.) Micah Johnson ILB Kentucky - LB size Tuna likes.
5*.) Myron Rolle SS FSU - Definition of the high character guy.
6b.) Major Wright FS Florida - Junior Gator FS hopefully beats out Gibril Wilson.
6c.) Brandon Lang OLB Troy - Can't have enough pass rushers for the 3-4.
7b.) Sam Shields CB Miami - 2008 UM Special Team Player of the Year (gunner).
*5th round pick acquired via trade up using picks 6a and 7a.
FA) Karlos Dansby - Dansby will play SOLB in our 3-4.
FAs Re-Signed) Bess, Fasano, JT, Ferguson
Notes
-NT is just too hard to fill in FA and we couldn't risk Cody or Cam Thomas not falling to us in round 2 so we scooped up Dan Williams at 1.12.
-Dorin Dickerson's blistering sub-4.4 40 time yesterday has his stock soaring. He isn't a blocking TE but we have that in Fasano. Dickerson is brought in as a weapon for our OC to get creative with.
-Mike Williams seems to me like he could be a sneaky good pick if we need to wait until round 3 and still want a guy with WR1 potential.
-Micah Johnson probably would've been a much higher pick if not for some injuries but he still has the size and talent to win a starting job as a rookie.
-I waited until later to get Safety help in Myron Rolle and Major Wright b/c of the comments by Ireland defending Gibril Wilson. Don't get me wrong, I think Wilson played like garbage but none the less, it doesn't look like the Trio will spend a lot of $ in FA, or spend a high pick to replace him. Rolle is just such an exemplary guy, I thought he would be worth drafting on character alone even though he is more of a SS. Major Wright has nice upside to possible beat out Wilson at FS.
-There are so many DE/OLB hybrid types in this draft that a guy like Lang from Troy could slip to the 6th.
-Sam Shields would just be expected to be our 5th CB and more importantly help us as a gunner on STs.
-I think we actually might finally come away with the elite FA in Dansby this year and I signed our key FAs in Bess, Fasano, JT and Ferg.
