Sharp Football NFL Draft analyst Brendan Donahue projects four offensive tackles to be taken in the first seven overall selections.
Donahue is considered one of the most accurate draft prognosticators in the business, so the fact that he thinks there will be four tackles taken at the top of Round 1 is notable. While the top-three tackles (Ekwonu, Neal and Cross) have been slotted at the top of the draft for the entirety of the offseason, Trevor Penning has been the big riser of the group. The Northern Iowa giant has a huge frame and a nasty mean streak, with Penning pancaking opponents then shoving their faces in the grass. His current consensus pick is to San Diego at 17 overall, a steep improvement from his 30th pick projection pre-combine. |

My worry with shoehorning yourself into a pass rush heavy draft is we're drafting so late that we could be left with slim pickings.

They can go pass rush heavy without “shoehorning” anything, hence why many of us can see us going DT instead of EDGE in the 1st. There’s also the option to trade up so they don’t have to reach for what’s left. There are ways that they can go pass rush heavy without reaching. |

I mean it's possible 1/3 of the draft goes DL before us - it's happened that way before. But if you're open to Travis Jones or Sam Williams at the back of the 1st, you STILL are likely to have guys you like sitting there. And both of those guys have 1st round talent. |

Would love to get Devonte Wyatt in the first but that would involve trading up. So what do you do? How high would you have to move up to get him? Just curious on what it would take.
