Obviously no one can predict the draft but this is a draft I find plausible in the least.

1. Jake Long, OT, Michigan
The supreme offensive tackle in this class, he can play both tackle slots and with very little urgency to fix the line in free agency and a major drop off at tackle in the second and third round this becomes the most logical selection, Jake can anchor our line for years to come.
2a. Quentin Groves, OLB, Auburn
Second to only Gholston as a pass rusher Groves might not be Parcell’s Lawrence Taylor but he will be a great replacement for Jason Taylor weather it is this year or next year.
2b. Justin King, CB, Penn St.
He may have the biggest upside of any player in this draft class, I’ve seen him go as high as late first and as late as round 4, if he is off the board our best option is likely Patrick Lee of Auburn or the next best corner available.
3. Martellus Bennett, TE, Texas A&M
Massive frame and probably the best blocker in this class, if he fails to fall this far then Carlson would be a fine conselation prize.
4. Ezra Butler, ILB, Nevada
A big bodied linebacker in Parcell’s mold, great instincts. I would prefer Goff but he is unlikely to fall this fall.
6a. Shannon Tevega, G, UCLA
This pick completes the starting offensive line, he is a big body and in a deep guard class is a quality pick up this late.
6b. Matt Flynn, QB, LSU
I like Ryan O’Hara but Flynn has played against top competition, has prototypic size, mobility and could develop in to a compotent starter. He isn’t as much of a project as O’Hara would be.
7a. Ryan Grice-Mullen, WR, Hawaii
With Wilford on board and assuming Ginn establishes himself as a #1 GM would be a good fit in the slot, as big a fan I am of Hagan (I actually am) he doesn’t fit there in my eyes.
7b. Tony Joiner, S, Florida
Solid addition to our safety corpse in the case that Bell doesn’t recover from ACL surgery.
7c. Bryan Mattison, DL, Iowa
Great motor and fits the the 3-4 perfectly, unrelentless pass rusher.

Thoughts???
 
Not bad, I don't like forcing any pick in our current situation, so drafting a corner at 2B is not a neccesity if a higher rated player is there.

Tony Joiner is, at most, a special teamer in the NFL. Being a Florida fan, I've watched him over his college career and I'm not impressed. He's a liability in any passing situation. He lacks the speed(4.6/40) to make up for his lack of instincts. I will say that he has a passion for the game and that is why he could fill a role on STs. I think he'll be lucky to get drafted.
 
I'm pretty sure we dont have a third 7th round pick, FYI

I believe the final two spots in the draft (there are always 254 or 255 i forget and there are always 252 following the comp selections) therefore the bottom 2 teams recieve a supplemental compensatory selection.
 
I would be very pleased with that draft if it ended up like that. I would prefer Beau Bell over Ezra Butler at ILb if he was there in the 4th, which i think he will be.
 
We need an ILB, not an OLB. JT is going nowhere.

We dont need a cb, much to many peoples opines on this message board.

We need at least 3 OL in this draft. I see two OL being drafted in 6th/7th rounders of the four picks.

I see us drafting a Safety, not a cb. The dude from Army is the guy we get late round I bet.
