One can wish and dream right???

Stingley at 24? We take the 4th Edge and one who never produced as a pass rusher even on the historic Georgia defense?  I don't deny his athleticism, still, I'll pass.

Tannenbaum has 3 WRs going before us.  Unfortunately, that may well happen.  Mike may be right about that.  This is a mock for today's NFL: either you draft to pass (QB, WR, OT) or you draft to stop the pass (Edge, CB, and throw in a superior safety).  That's why I think if one of the top WRs is there at 12, you take him.

I would not consider Walker there. He has not shown he is a top pass rusher. Same for his teammate Davis. Get Williams or Stingley (or McDuffie if you think he's better).

What the hell? Dreams are free. Enjoy PF. 

All depends on what you do with Stingleys medicals. Maybe he’s worse then snyone wants to admit?

I could see this. I could see him falling and I could see the Vikings taking him. Walker is probably a 5T in the NFL.  12 is a little high for a 5T, but right now, our 5Ts are Tomlinson and Watts. 

Watts looked good last year, but did he look good, or did he look good for a former 6th rounder?

I don't see it. Walker is the highest upside pass rusher in the class, even over Hutchinson. He will go in the top 5. Teams love potential even though he has a higher variance than some others.

I was watching the live version of Tannenbaums mock draft on ESPN. A lot of controversy on this pick and Walker dropping this far. Someone was comparing him to Vernon Gholston in that despite his physical traits and athleticism, there just wasn't enough consistent production to justify him going any earlier. I personally don't see him dropping out of the top 10, but stranger things have happened

I don't think Walker makes it out of the top 6...I have a growing suspicion the Vikings are going DL @ 12. That, Stingley or one of the top 2 ranked WR on their board.

Agree he's got a high upside, like all the Dawg DLs. But I'd take Jermaine Johnson over him. 

In cramming for the draft the last couple weeks, there have been a few players that have stood out to me as better than advertised...

1st round
Kenny Pickett, QB - I think he's Kirk Cousins 2.0. But a lot faster. 
Jermaine Johnson, Edge - Lifts his game to another level when facing quality opponent
Trent McDuffie, DB - A coach on the field. Does everything well. Press, off, man, zone. Almost zero bust factor.
Devin Lloyd, LB - He's going to be an All Pro LB. Probably not for the Vikings though.
Chris Olave, WR - Like JJ, he's not the biggest, he's not the fastest, but he's going to be better in the NFL. 

Day two
Kaiir Elam, CB
Kyler Gordong, CB
Nakobe Dean, LB 
Leo Chenal, LB

I agree with the majority of your list. I'm very high on Johnson if he can just become a little more consistent. But that is the result of only really playing major snaps a single season. Watching more of McDuffie I'm fairly convinced he is just as good of a fit for the Vikings as Sauce/Stingley. There isn't a drop-off and all are co-equals. I will let you have the benefit of saying that first  =)

Another two names to consider are Lewis Cine (he may end up being better than Hamilton) and Arnold Ebiketie. People are sleeping on the latter but he is one of the only pass rushers in the class who has show the ability to win with speed, power, and inside/out. He could be very good in the NFL early. 

As for Elam, he is a lesser version of Xavier Rhodes as a prospect. The big difference is Elam literally can't tackle. Until he fixes that he is a liability. Everything else is there for him though.

I've read that about Elam, but haven't seen it yet. I'll have to keep looking because I hate corners who can't tackle. Really like Cine....and Cross too as next tier safeties behind Hamilton. Haven't studied Ebiketie yet, but will check him out.
