Unless 12 more big names come onto the board (18/30 personal visits accounted for) these are the players it's going to come down to for our first round pick..... [process of elimination of TOTAL VISITS down to 1st round potential]

EVERY SINGLE 1st round pick (conklin, davis, jackson, evans) that JROB has made, has made SOME SORT of visit that WALTERFOOTBALL tracked. Most Recent of RASHAAN EVANS being a Pro Day interview/workout...

so by the elimination game as of 4/17 it's:

***Brian Burns, DE/3-4OLB/OLB, Florida State (PRI)
Jaylon Ferguson, DE/3-4OLB, Louisiana Tech (PRI)
***Chris Lindstrom, G, Boston College (WOR)
***Ed Oliver, DT, Houston (PRI)
Jachai Polite^, DE/3-4OLB/OLB, Florida (COM, PRI)
***Montez Sweat, DE/3-4OLB/OLB, Mississippi State (COM)
Jerry Tillery, DT/3-4DE/NT, Notre Dame (PRI)
***Christian Wilkins, DT/3-4DE/NT, Clemson (PRO)

*** denotes SURE FIRE 1st Rounder

[and notice... no damn NOAH FANT or TJ HOCKENSON]
[2-3 of those are early 2nd rd guys at best... Polite, Tillery, Ferguson]

 

Oliver and Sweat will be long gone by 19, Wilkins and Burns could be picked already leaving us Lindstrom.

Great, a guard in the first, just what we all wanted.

I'm staring to think we trade up again to get our guy, whoever that may be.

 

I find bringing in Ed Oliver for a private workout intriguing.

 

I also find it intriguing that there is like 1 offensive player on that list for every 10 defensive players.

 

It is interesting there is no big time TE or WR here...but aren't we missing like 12 slots from our 30 visits?

I do not think (I hope not) that Lindstrom is a sure fire 1st round pick. I have him as a 3rd round prospect and Im concerned the Titans may over draft him because they know him so well...that goes for many BC players.

Sweat, Wilkins, Oliver, and Burns should be gone...so who does that leave you with? No one who's a lock first rounder.

Burns, Oliver, Wilkins and Tillery are possible along with Lawrence. Burns is all over the place. Oliver is a hard position projection. Wilkins is finding no love based on athletic testing vs others (like Lawrence who ran the same 40 time but dozens of lbs heavier) and Tillery/Lawrence are all over the board. Some think they are top 15 picks and others think they are 2nd rounders.

I find it hard to believe we haven't met with Fant or Hockenson or a few of the wr's at the combine or at private workouts that haven't been listed. It is a real possibility (and need) to know if they are worthy of that pick. There is a real possibility an offensive player(s) are the best value at 19.

 

really not a fan of this list.... sweat will obviously not be there at 19 and no one else is too exciting.
