You can make him an interior guy on early downs and put him on the edge late. Or go the other way. Regardless, he is a weapon that can be put to great use by any Defensive Coach with half a brain.

Indianapolis - Since I won't have to draft him Top Ten overall, give me Nelson to play OG. I'm not really certain if there is anyone else I want from that team. With him, we are probably talking about a Dallas-esque Oline here.

Tennessee - In a toss-up between Adoree Jackson and Avery Williamson... Give me Jackson. Can't have too many Defensive Backs.

I could see a Clowney choice.

Indy?  We couldn't have had Nelson, but a close second would have been Will Hernandez. 

Sigh...

I considered Conklin to keep Robinson at LT, but given his injury and that Lewan is better at a more important position he got my vote, though I might be convinced Byars would be a better upgrade.

I tend to agree on the Mercilus front but talent for talent could he upgrade our MLB?

I'm not sold on Byars just yet. He put up decent numbers last year but most times it looked like he was out of position and found a gift. More of a "right place right time" thing than technical skill. We'll see what he brings this year. He certainly appears to have a high ceiling.

I guess it depends on what you think of Myles Jack.  I think the world of Myles Jack, so my answer would be no.

But if you thought Myles Jack won't succeed at MLB, then I suppose you might argue Mercilus would be better.

But in that instance, I would rather take one of their ILBs, most notably McKinney.
