It is crazy when you think about all the talented prospects that have rolled (no pun intended) through Alabama over the years that very few have amounted to anything in the NFL. I do like Proctor though, even if he ultimately kicks inside to guard at the next level. Just a massive individual.

I still think he’s an Edge, but I don’t think labels really matter. He’s disruptive going downhill no matter where he lines up. Someone recently said “I’ve got him in my top 10 and that might not be high enough”.
Major riser. He’ll be long gone by the time we pick. Still like Styles for us the best. Great class.

The nice thing about this list is you can immediately ignore anyone with prototypical NT size.

What are the position priorities? Right now, I'd put it like this. And from what I've been able to gather, this is a good draft for our top two needs.
1. LB
2. C
3. RB
4. DB

I’d like to see either Jurgens or Brandel grab hold of the C position. If Kelly comes back without a Guardian cap the medical staff should be sued for malpractice.
I probably put C at 5 and add iDL somewhere in the list.

GBN recently updated their 1st round projection. Have seen this player mocked to us a few times

ONE RB in all of Rd1? Crazy...
I like Love a lot btw. Love to see him as a Viking.

I like what we've seen from Mason and Scott so I would push RB out of top 5, add IDL and TE. Hocks cap hit jumps to over 20 million after this year for his last 2 season, I like his game, but I dont like it that much. We do have an out after this year at about 12 million in dead cap. not sure what the TE market or draft is going to look like, but I would add it to the list until/unless we something from our others currently on the roster.

I think if you have a chance to add a dynamic runner like Love in combination with Mason, you do it. IDL is a need with the age we have along the line. We've also struggled to hold up against the run. I agree with you that TE could be a sneaky need and I love the Oregon kid. I feel that whatever direction we go, we'll have some really good players on the board that also fill needs. Unfortunately...we still need put our trust in Mensah to make the right pick.
