I traded back three times in the 1st. Back 3 to Jacksonville for their 1st plus a 3, back 3 to New England for their 1st and a 3 and back 3 to Miami for their 1st and a 3 and still got the guy I would have taken at 17. I almost took Jordan Love via the scenario I spoke of above but couldnt get the value as its automated and wouldn't take the need for QB into account

Nice work on the trade...little concerned that you couldn't get one of the better CBs earlier and honestly given that Chido and Lewis both will be out of contract next year I think a double down at CB would have been more priority than at WR or S (I think we keep Xavier Woods).
The top couple were gone so I am hearing there is a lot of talent in RD 2 and 3, drops off after the top 100 or so.
Chaisson was a no-brainer, NFL comparison is Aldon Smith (except he got the 18 jersey at LSU which is given to the highest charachter). Very smart on and off the field. Could be both a DE and LB
Winfield appears to be one heck of a player. Only 5'9 but nearly 210. Great reactions, needs a bit of seasoning but might move into a starting role
Gallimore gives us a great rotational player and stats show him and the most disruptive in the backfied last season. Extreme motor will keep him in the middle of things. Could work at DE in pass plays
Hennesy is a nice option if Looney doesnt play up to par or one of the Connors doesnt work out. Also 'The Draft Network' loves him.
"Matt Hennessy started at center over the last three seasons at Temple, earning a prestigious single-digit practice jersey that Temple gives to the toughest players on the team. From watching him compete on tape, it's pretty clear that his practice habits are outstanding and that the honor was well-earned. Hennessy is a technically-refined, mobile, smart and controlled blocker that profiles as a starter in a zone blocking scheme. From his hand usage, bend, footwork and processing skills, there's an obvious polish in the way Hennessy plays the game. It's difficult to poke concerning holes in his game but he isn't the biggest or strongest blocker which does box him in as a center that doesn't offer much in the way of position flexibility or appeal in gap blocking run schemes. In the right role, Hennessy has a chance to make an immediate impact and projects as a long-term fixture as a starter. "
I really like Van Jefferson, only dropped 4 passes last year, perfectionist in his routes. Not a burner though.
I didnt know Bernard, but he shows as a high motor, project type ILB
Vindor is a bit of a project CB, but has 4.4 speed. Will help out on special teams for the moment
Brian Cole gives us a rotational S, that can add to special teams. Projects as a box safety with 4.5 speed
Proche is a pet WR for me. May not make the teams but you will love watching him. Attacks the ball like a LB. Has great hands but runs sloppy routes. Wouldnt have taken a 2nd WR but you gotta love this kid
And with that many picks my goal was to grab a QB somewhere. McDonald is it this year as I kept missing the ones I liked in the other rounds.; Probably too weak and arm to make it as a starter, but he could be our Taysom Hill.
