- Some movement over last week. Has Mariotta going #1 overall, which I don't think will happen.
- Washington gets a very good player in OLB/DE Randy Gregory from Nebraska.
- Cooper goes to the Raiders
- And La'el Collins goes to Atlanta at #8.
NYG select DE/OLB/DT Dante Fowler, Florida.
I haven't researched him much but he certainly seems like an explosive player. 6'2" 261lbs, who has lined up all over the front 7. Something like 8.5 sacks this year, but three game in the bowl game. Anyone have more insight or been to a Gators games in the last two year?

True he doesn't have Oakman's size, but I for one am glad Oakman stayed in school. He looks good in pads, but he is too easily neutralized and is not an impact player. At least Fowler makes an impact, but I do question if he is best suited for a 3-4 or a 4-3.
Is that a good thing?
I also don't see Collins, Clemmings or Flowers as worthy of a pick in the top half of round 1, so that would leave us w/o an OL to select at 9.
I'm very intrigued by Shaq Thompson though, and can imagine what great things he could do in a creative Spags defense. Just not sure we'd pick him at 9, although I would if the three guys I highlighted above are gone and the other chalk players go as expected.
