Moving him up a tad on our board...he imo is that fly around type Mack...a little undersized, but I like his skills.

I'd support it. A bit of a raw product, but the athleticism is top notch for the position. Worthy of consideration as high as the 2nd Rd.

9 days away from the NFL draft, checking out some mock drafts today. Here who some publications have us taking at 28.

Walterfootball.com, SECcountry.com, Landof10.com, CBSSports.com and 3 out of 5 NFL.com analysts - Rashaan Evans, LB from Alabama
SI.com - Leighton Vander Esch, LB from Boise State
2 out of 5 NFL.com analysts and BleacherReport.com - Jaire Alexander, CB from Louisville

Seems to be a clear cut favorite between the analysts and "experts" lol.

Not sure what to make of this comment. Of course you don't want to reach, but drafting a player that is able to play quicker usually means they have the highest grade or BPA. I guess he simply means don't draft for obvious needs (glaring holes in need of starters) if the player being drafted is best available only at the position of need. Like say if Smith, Edmunds, Evans & LVE are gone and they draft Malik Jefferson or Darius Leonard in the 1st round.
