89. Antoine Caldwell (athletic C/G can play ZBS but more of a mauler than Myers)
112. David Bruton (athletic SS)
122. Terrence Taylor (run-stuffing DT that can push or replace Okam)
152. Javaris Williams (small college RB with a lot of production... powerful, good blocker, explosive)
188. Gronkowski (Powerful TE that is a very good blocker but has some hands also)
7th. P.J.Hill (Power RB that has too much upside not to grab this late)
Any scenario where we trade down should mean we take at least 2 RBs, maybe 3 out of this draft.

Okay, I went with this idea and saw the 10 Apr Update. Using my board, this is what I got....
34. DE Connor Barwin Cincinnatti 6' 4" 256 4.59
The steal of the draft. I have him right behind Matthews, so I was happy to see him still there. I could see him as a Justin Tuck type in a few years, but definitely worth the project if he's only a 3rd down Specialist. I think he could play the SAM too.
46. FS William Moore Missouri 6' 1" 226 4.50
I'm betting the bank that he tried to play hurt his senior year and that's why his production fell off. At worst, he's a Merriweather or Phillips type S.
53. SS Chip Vaughn Wake Forest 6' 1 3/8" 221 4.45
Holy MOG. They have him available later in the draft, but I'd be happy to have him and Moore roaming the middle.
77. CB Asher Allen Georgia 5' 10" 194 4.48
I think I could go home now and be happy with the defense for years to come.
89. RB Rashad Jennings Liberty 6' 1" 231 4.58
Oh yea, I might as well get my big fella for short yardage. He's no Brandon Jacobs, but at #89, I don't see how the draft could get much better.
112. LB Scott McKillop Pittsburgh 6' 1" 243 4.72
Well, DeMeco I love you man, but you got to get into camp. I have a thumper who is going to stop the run in the LB corps now.
122. OC A.Q. Shipley Penn St 6' 1" 304 5.19
No Unger, Mack, or Wood. Oh well, I have a true OC who's better than Studdard.
152. RB Javarris Williams Tenn State 5' 9 1/2" 223 4.51
It's always nice to have a little insurance in case the RBs get hurt. All Kubiak has to do is have a little conversation with his OC's dad to find that out.
188. WR Demetrius Byrd LSU 6' 0" 199 4.35
Since I have Asher returning Kicks, Jacoby Jones can find work elsewhere. Here's a big WR we can develop that knows how to block in the running game. Did Lance Z have him on his Texans draft board?
223. DT Myron Pryor Kentucky 6' 0 1/4" 319 5.08
Well, I didn't get Roy Miller, but I'm ok with taking Pryor here.
