McMillan's combine performance will more than likely solidify his position as WR1 for most draftniks and big board builders. And for good reason. Size, speed, crazy body control in stupid coverages where he shouldn't be coming down with the ball. Really solid redzone target with the ability to break in and out of slants to get open. 

His routes will need some work at the next level. He's lanky. However, he doesn't mess around with the football when it's in the air. He's the reach out and get it type and he attacks it in coverage. Interesting prospect. Has quick feet for a guy his size but I don't see him running anything too crazy like a 4.3 or low 4.4. 

He'll probably test maybe once at a 4.4 with great teaching at the combine but hit a 4.5 on his second attempt. Which I think is more inline with his speed on the field that I can see. I think the A.J Green comp is fair that I have for him. He can have a good career in the right situation I believe.

These 3 receivers all look good- especially McMillan. Despite that, I would not draft a wide receiver until the 3rd day of the draft next year. They already have BTJ and Kirk will be on the team at least until the end of next season. The focus of this draft needs to be on the offensive line and secondary, with another pass rusher as the 3rd priority. 

Specific players I will be looking at are tackles Will Campbell and Kelvin Banks and guards Tyler Booker and Tate Ratledge. If the Jaguars lose this Sunday, they are likely to have a shot at one of the 2 tackles since they have a brutal 5 game stretch after returning from Europe. If they win Sunday and then as a solid favorite against the Patriots, we could be looking at a season where even a wild-card spot is in play and a draft spot in which the top 2 tackles will be off the board. Of course, this is the much-preferred scenario and I'd even consider taking Booker despite the fact guards are often passed on until  at least round 2.

I am hoping Restrepo slips to day three. McMillan is probably a top 10 pick. Harris is probably right behind him shortly after that based on their current trajectories. Kirk's cap situation is interesting. I think it's possible he's a trading candidate or cap casualty. I think you also have to factor in that Gabe Davis has shown next to no return at all on the investment they made on him this off season. 

I think the offensive line will be the priority. I think the obvious positions that will need to be addressed are LT, due to free agency departures with your top two players there, followed by RG, due to Scherff's age and then lastly, a potential successor to Morse at C. 

Cleveland is solid at LG. I think he'll keep improving. Harrison will get better at RT. The secondary is where I am a little interested as well. Already citing names such as Mukuba, Moore and Winston Jr. at the safety positions. We also have the Vikings additional picks in next year's draft to play around with potentially. I still have high hopes for this season. Fully expecting them to come back across the pond 3 - 4.
