Round 1 Brandon Scherff... NO surprise here as I have been championing this guy for weeks now. He has the size, strength and more importantly the attitude we need on our O-line. Combined with Trent, I think he gives us the book ends we need for the next seven years and might be the start of the rebirth of dare I say it.. .The Hogs baby!!!
Round 2 Ereck Flowers...I know he is listed as an OT, and slated to go in the 1st round.. .But I think he slips. Not because he cant hold it down and be an OT in this league. But because if he gets past the Lions at 23, most of the teams between us and him dont actually have a need for an O-lineman and they will be going after the "Impact players" at other positions. With him and Scherff, I think we lock down the right side of the line for a long time and add the kind of beef that allows us to actually run and pass the ball to the right side of the offense finally. He would likely move inside as our starting RG from day one and we can all send Chirs Chester a thank you card and Flowers. (Pun intended)
Round three... A Nod to Dean and the Pass Rusher needed posse Kwon Alexander... OLB LSU. This kid could stand to gain about 10-15 LBS as long as he doesnt lose his speed. He is straight up usless in coverage I admit. and I would have to swap in Trent Murphy on running plays. But he is purely a guided missile on 3rd and long to medium. He is an aggressive, tenacious defender that seems to enjoy the physicality of the game. Basically tell him to go kill the QB and hand him a beggin strip when he gets back to the side line.
Round Four... Getting into the project players here... Eric Rowe..CB Utah... if you know me you know I am becoming a fan of corners with size. I think Rowe translates better as a Free safety because he has the size, but not the blazing speed to keep up with the burner #2 WR. But I think he could play swing between both positios giving us some flexibility room when we go max coverage. And he has the muscle to bring down some of the chunkier backs he might be faced with if the Inside breaks down on run plays.
Rounds 5-7 Simply put... The Best player that you didnt expect to be there. Nothing position specific, although I would lean towards another CB and another safety..... And a fat kid to go on the D-line. Although depending on what we end up with at Rb, cant rule that out either.
OK guys have at it...

I agree in general with the philosophy but register my concerns with the use of the first pick. Of course, Scherff, to some, can be a very effective OT. If so, second rounder could be a guard, or we could use yet another third rounder on a guard. If the latter, we can use the second rounder on an OLB.
