Obviously mock drafts at this point are based on assumptions so I am going to assume:

 

-Beachum wins the LT spot and plays well enough to receive the 4 year extension 

-The Joke is a bust at LG and the guys behind him prove nothing more than depth guys

-Cyp proves to be an average SS, team will allow him to walk

-Fowler shows enough to be considered the LEO for the foreseeable future

-We wont be major players in FA

-We will finish 8-8/9-7

 

Round 1. Jabrill Peppers SS Michgian- Super athletic and versatile (sound familiar? Fowler, Ramsey, Jack) and can do so much more than Cyp. Along with Jack, can help solve the TE issues we've been having. Gipson and Peppers is a nasty safety duo.

 

Alternate Pick- Jamal Adams SS LSU.

 

Round 2. Dan Feeney OG Indiana- Plug and play at LG and would solidify the O-line. He's balanced in terms of pass and run blocking ability. Interior o-line would be set for next 10 years with him, Linder, and Cann.

 

Alternate Pick- Pat Elflein OG Ohio State.

 

Round 3. Kendell Beckwith LB LSU- More of a thumper which differentiates him from Telvin and Myles (who are our nickel LBs). He can sit behind Poz and eventually take over 1st down and running situations. Can be that physical presence of the LB corps.

 

Alternate Pick- Keith Kelsey LB UL.
