More from SideLion Report

Offensive line: Brian O’Neill, tackle, Alex Cappa, tackle, Martinas Rankin, tackle, Joe Noteboom, tackle

Defensive line: Da’Shawn Hand, tackle, Josh Sweat, end, are some attractive options.

Backs & receivers: Here’s a great spot to take a skilled player, like: Rashaad Penny, Nick Chubb, at running back, Mark Andrews, tight end, DJ Chark, wide receiver, and Simmie Cobbs, wide receiver.

Linebackers: I didn’t see any that I was crazy about here, but Marquis Haynes is ranked in this area.

Defensive backs: Marcus Allen, safety, or Nick Nelson, cornerback, are players to consider.

Commentary

In some simulations I waited for a running back, here, but it doesn’t always work. Round two gives you sure options for runners. I really like a bunch of the offensive linemen, here, too. It would be great to have about five picks here. Josh Sweat is an insanely talented, athletic, edge prospect.

My Pick: Mark Andrews, tight end, he’s a prospect that can do anything, including catch the ball.
