To me, this is the least talented top end of the draft in my lifetime. This list wasn't easy. 

 

1. Solomon Thomas - I don't think he will be elite, I do think he'll provide 7-9 sacks a year. 

 

2. Reuben Foster - The best defender in this class. This guy will be a starter at ILB for the next decade.  

 

3. Jonathan Allen - See Thomas but without as many sacks. I like his versatility as he can be moved up and down the line. 

 

4. Marshon Lattimore - The nickel corner is essentially a starter these days. A team can't have too many solid guys at this position. 

 

5. Malik Hooker - I wouldn't normally take a safety this high, but this draft sucks as far as top 10 goes. I struggle to find someone else I'd take above him. 

 

6. - Derek Barnett - like all the other pass rushers, I don't think he'll ever be elite. I do think he can average 7-9 a year. 

 

7. O.J. Howard - He's exactly the kind of TE Coughlin craves. I love that he can do it all which makes the offense less predictable. 

 

Howard and Foster are the only players on this list I think will be pro bowlers.
