A couple of years ago when we picked Bortles, I think most of us expected us to go for Mack, Watkins or one of the "bigger name" QBs. Bortles was in the picture, but when we selected him it was a bit of a surprise.
So who is the equivalent this year? We've discussed Bosa, Ramsey, Jack and Buckner (even Spence) as a pick at five, but is there someone we're not considering?
There is no equivalent because we don't need a QB.
At this point, it's probably Shaq Lawson. He's the only #Forceplayer# in this class, which we know Tony Khan follows to some extent. Good production, best athleticism, perfect LEO size, biggest need, already mocked in the back end of the top 10 somewhat often...it makes sense to me.

Doesn't have to be a QB. Could be someone like Rankins or Lawson - just someone not on the radar at the moment who could surprise us.
Apple,Lawson,Dodd,Calhoun,Jaylon Smith or way off the wall Treadwell,Fuller,Decker,Springs,mich st tackle,or kelly. That's all I got,probably missing a few
Lawson and Dodd, I like both
Among those rarely mentioned maybe Leonard Floyd?

I was thinking Lawson as well. There's been a lot of talk lately about how he could creep into the top 10 and how a lot of teams have him as the 2nd best DE in the draft.
Mackenzie Alexander, Rankins, Lawson, Floyd.
Offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley
VH3 could end up being that guy. Many Florida fans here are pumping him hard.
I'm gonna go twitchy edge rusher with power. Ogbah

I'm a fan of Ogbah. He seemed to play well every time I watched Oklahoma State. He destroyed FSU in 2014.
I like leonard floyd. If he can get to 255 I would draft him in the top 10
Shaq Lawson would be my sleeper pick at 5 if for some reason Bosa, Jack and Ramsay are off the board. He might even be taken ahead of Ramsay due to Gipson and Prince being signed.
It would be cool if we could somehow grab both Lawson and Dodd.
The first two off the top of my head are Stanley & Lawson
