I could see Skov potentially being available in the 3rd tbh due to his lack of top end speed. Great leader though with the kind of intensity and recognition skills that would always be welcome. Definitely a great year for versatile LB’s.

Will Sutton is reported to have regressed slightly due to adding weight, as it was felt he was getting washed out of some plays last year. This has allegedly damaged his burst off the snap, and effectively taken away his best attribute. Aaron Donald is a similar player to a pre-weight gain Sutton in terms of measurables, and has been utterly dominant. His lack of preferred height is likely to push him into the 2nd, but could be a steal for whoever drafts him. Hageman then, bottom line is a 1st rounder barring unrealised character concerns or injury. He’ll be of our reach I’m afraid.

I’d personally like to see us take a dominant guard prospect in the 2nd. Gabe Jackson and Cyril Richardson are likely to be gone by the time we pick first, but David Yankey (Stanford) looks very intriguing. He’s having a terrific year supposedly and has really improved his pass protection. Has the agility by all accounts for a zone-blocking scheme (if Shanny is still around), but also enough necessary strength for a power-blocking scheme (if it’s all change with the coaching staff). Should also mention he can play tackle if necessary. That said, if say Donald is the pick then I would have no issue at all.
