No one really leaps out at me as being worth a first round pick, and some of those guys were pretty much busts on their rookie deal? Like I said, its probably irrational. Its just a vague thought I have that its the positional value rather than the talent value pushing them up into the first round, if they had the talent value of a first rounder they normally go top 10?

Sweat is a pretty good player but only fell into that range because of some health concerns (heart).
It's a tough spot to grab a difference maker at high-value positions, because those guys generally go earlier.
I think Jaelan Phillips is my favorite DE prospect and he's likely available at the end of the second because of health concerns. He has huge upside, though.
