Someone will fall, someone always falls ... So here's a wee question to pass the time for some of you guys... 

who's the guy who no one expects to fall (potentially as far as us) and why?

I could see Bryan Bresee from Clemson being there. He doesn't really jump off the stat sheet from the DT position but he's a guy that sets the tone and enables other guys around him to potentially excel around the LOS. 

He'll fall because most teams want real impact at the skill positions where it's more of a 1 on 1 approach rather than take a chance in hoping Bresee is the same guy at the next level where everybody gets faster and stronger and he's going to command double teams, etc. 

He's also already had at least one ACL injury in his career. My only knock on him is that he reportedly played weaker against the run last year which is his strong suit to begin with. So, that ACL certainly effected him.

He's also not a pass rusher. He'll plug right inside, but, again, you're hoping he's disruptive enough to enable Allen, Walker, etc.

Tall order.

Could be a good value meets need pick there if this coaching staff opts to keep going with the 3 - 4. Especially with a [BLEEP] ton of guys hitting the market next month. Wouldn't surprise me at all seeing him fall. ACL injury, lack of production on the stat sheet, down year against the run, more of a 3 - 4 fit Vs. 4 - 3 fit, etc.

Those are easy reasons to knock a guy down most teams draft boards.
