I like some of these guys. Only three of them listed would be in my top twenty though. Witherspoon, Wilson and Mauch. Interesting that he has Noah Gindorff in the 4th slot. I liked him as a 7th RD value. He can play TE or be developed into an OT. 

Tippmann is a really good Center prospect. I like him in RD2. Iosvias and Rice are solid WR prospects. Good value picks anywhere starting in RD4 or later. I would take Tucker Kraft at TE over Luke Musgrave. Both guys will be over drafted this weekend though. I wouldn't look at neither one of them until RD3.
Wait is this actually real?

If it's not. I am highly impressed. If Hurricane came up with this that's also impressive. I would just retitle it as a "high value by round" prospect list.
It reads like a Gene Smith board, but I assumed it was a joke.

13 small schools in 20 picks
I would love to get Mauch in the 2nd and McClendon in the 3rd. Set that up with a nice Edge guy in the 1st and someone like Carrington Valentine on Day 3 and I'd be very pleased.
Also. Since this has my wheels turning. I would love to see this team either draft him in RD7 or pick him up immediately as a rookie free agent.

Brayden Willis out of Oklahoma. Utility type player. Can do a variety of stuff in terms of blocking out of the backfield, catching out of the TE position, lead blocking, etc. He would be a player I would be interested in. Especially with Pederson's play style. Would offer special teams value as well.

Think Trey Burton. That's a good comparison for Brayden Willis. Maybe not nearly as prolific coming out of college but that utility and ability to play along the backfield and line-up at TE is valuable to me.

Impressive list more than a few prospects worthy of trading up for. That is before someone else scoops them up. I also had the following on my list

Tyjae Spears RB Tulane
Tyler Scott WR Cincinnati
DeWayne McBride RB UAB
Karl Brooks DL Bowling Green
Ivan Pace Jr LB Cincinnati
Dorian Williams LB Tulane
Jerrod Clark DT Coastal Carolina
Josh Whyle TE Cincinnati

Karl Brooks is intriguing. I really like what I have seen and heard about him. I was hoping to get him late in the draft but he's been mocked anywhere from late RD2 to not getting out of RD3.
It's clearly a joke.  It's a nice list of small school players, but no way anyone thinks these are the top 20 players in the draft.

Some nitwit will say "whoosh!" and act proud of himself.

Yes, nice pickup. I am pretty sure he will need a couple years to make the jump to the pros. Mainly because the level of play he has seen is a step (or more) below what his peers have experienced.The scout team is the best place for him.
