RD1 - Nic Scourton - EDGE - Texas A&M

RD3 - Donovan Jackson - OG - Ohio St.
RD3 - Clay Webb - OG - Jacksonville St.
RD4 - Keon Sabb - Nickel/S - Alabama
RD4 - Riley Leonard - QB - Notre Dame (Formerly at Duke)
RD5 - Bryson Nesbit - TE - North Carolina
RD6 - Moose Muhammad III - WR - Texas A&M
RD7 - Jack Nelson - OT - Wisconsin

4 OL, 3 in first three rounds make too much logical sense to actually happen but I'm rooting for it

Safety isn't a valuable position in the 1st round, but I would be onboard grabbing Malaki Starks no questions asked. Stud

As a Bulldogs fan? It's a wait and see for me with Malaki Starks. He looked pretty rough last night. Got flagged for defensive holding at least once, and, honestly? He got away with quite a few coverages where he clearly had his hands in the cookie jar that should have been called as actual defensive pass interference instead. 

If I could take anybody from the Bulldogs this year in this class coming up? It would be Mykel Williams at EDGE. Think he's just a shade or two below Travon Walker in terms of athletic ability, but, he's another guy that gets moved around a lot and if left alone at the right position he could flourish. 

As far as safeties this year? I think Michigan's Rod Moore is the guy to watch. I also think Alabama's pair of safeties are stout and pretty good overall. Malachi Moore and Sabb will be decent at the NFL level and you can probably get them as early as RD3. The value for the two of them could go up though if they show out against Tennessee, LSU and Georgia this year. Which I think they will.

As far as our offensive line, at some point, the team has to get younger and better at an affordable price. The best way to do this is by investing via the draft earlier on. Between Morse's age, Scherff's age along with Robinson's and Little's contract situation? They have to start getting this done now. 4th and 7th RD investments won't cut it in the long run. You need actual talent, big guys with quick feet and the strength to back it with.
