First round . . . Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia: probably the closest to a Bruce Irvin clone in this draft, Floyd is LONG, athletic with a good nose for the ball, whether that is playing the run or rushing the QB. Georgia pklayed him all over the place, from OLB, ILB and even slot corner. He's freaky to watch, because he's so long and skinny and wears #84 so he looks like he's playing the wrong position. But he's very fluid, has great play recognition, and is the kind of quick twitch player Pete likes. He is light and can get pushed around, and he needs to work on his tackling.
3rd-5th round . . . Travis Feeny, OLB Washington: He's starting to get some pub and getting pushed up, but I think the injury history and tweener status still land him in the middle round. Athletically he's similar to Floyd and was also a jack of all trades at Washington, but he doesn't seem as versatile to me, especially in coverage.
5th-6th round . . . Nick Vigil, Utah State: First of all . . . 108 snaps playing both ways in a single game.

He's a little light and his top end speed isn't great, but his 10 yard split and especially his 3-cone and shuttle were elite. As in, rare elite. As in, putting Bobby Wagner to shame elite. Kory Toomer and KPL put up similar numbers a few years ago and league wide Vigil's times compare favorably to guys like Kuechly, Bowman, Sean Lee, Ryan Shazier and Thomas Davis. Problem is there is really no footage of him to be found.
