I can’t see them spending a 1st rounder on a safety, we just have too many holes at WR, RT…but Boye Mafe (EDGE, Minnesota), has drawn comparisons to Rashan Gary with his freakish athleticism. I could see them taking a chance on him at pick 28.
For Travis Jones (DT, UConn, 6’5″ 325 lbs), he’s graded out as a late 1st or 2nd rd pick, but with the Packers picking in the back end of the 2nd round, I would love for them to take him. He racked up 25 pressures and 21 run stops on the season and played well at the Senior Bowl. He’s more than just a space eater, he can move. I have seen Jones go at the end of the 1st rd in some mocks, so he is rising up draft boards.
Daxton Hill – safety. I’m extremely leery of spending a 1st rd pick on a safety who may convert to CB. For one thing, we have three very good CBs right now. For another thing, we already saw how drafting a safety in the 1st round with Demarious Randall backfire as he was a very average (at best) – corner.
