Where do you see the following players who, in all likelihood, will be entering the draft get selected.

Kenny Pickett - I figure too half of Round 1 as either the first or second QB off the board. I don’t know if he’ll have the wow inducing physical measurables (especially hand size) to go first overall.
Lucas Krull - I think a team takes a late 6th or 7th round flier on him based off physical measurables alone. I think lack of consistency prevents him going any higher.

Carter Warren - I see anywhere 4th to 6th round. I think he will project as a RT in the NFL but his ability to play LT in a pinch will give him added value and push him into the 4th.

Damari Mathis - 2nd to 4th round. We tend to be harsh on Narduzzi DB’s but the league tends to draft them highly. I think Mathis is the best we’ve had so far and will be drafted higher correspondingly.

Taysir Mack - Undrafted, if he hadn’t gotten hurt I thought this year was going to push him to a late round sleeper, unfortunately I think his injury ruined his draft chances and makes him an undrafted practice squad candidate.

Haba Baldanado - I think he declares early. I figure him 3rd to 5th round. He will test similar to Weaver from last year and his tape shows him to be a talented pass rusher who came play end in either a 4-3 or a 3-4.

I don’t think Kancey or Dennis will declare early. I also don’t see any other senior lineman being drafted but I could still see Either Minor or Huoy moving on hoping to be a late round pick. My reasoning is Huoy has taken multiple injuries already this year. Why take the chance of being injured again next year if you have any chance at getting an NFL contract.
