Bryant and Alexander are the top 2 of the WR class IMO.

There's actually a ton of depth at DE this year. You could go about 10-12 deep of guys that could be good, but there aren't any clear cut studs.

Taylor Mays at safety is about as physically gifted as anyone to ever come out of college, but he didn't always live up to his potential.
Does May have good ball and coverage skills? Or is he basically a hammer?

He's insanely gifted, but seems to be tightly wound, and doesn't have instincts for the position. He gets lost in coverage, plays it safe and allows balls to be completed in front of him, and isn't good at playing the ball in the air.

He did make a pretty routine pick in the game, on an awful throw from Canfield, but I wouldn't chane it on Mays before the second round. At that point, his "potential" makes him someone to take and try to develop.

Personally, I'd move him like with Thomas Davis and make him a weakside LB'er in a Bucs type scheme.

Alexander has had some struggles adapting to a pro-style offense. He's got great sprinting speed but he's struggled in press coverage a bit. He's way down the list of WR right now.

Alexander has really struggled against the jam, and his hips seem to be a bit tight. He's talented, but will he be able to get separation in the NFL?

Other than Locker, how would next year's quarterback class look? Would it make since to wait until then to get the QB, so we could bulk up the line? I'm thinking what's the point in drafting one now, only to have him ducking for his life. Maybe acqure a 1 year veteran stop-gap guy while we bulid up the rest of the team. Am I wrong in leaning this way?

McShay now has the Rams taking McCoy, though Kiper seems to have them with Suh.

Yeah, Gerald, which is in a way more perplexing. Why go with the inferior player at the position?

McShay has McCoy ranked higher than Suh right now.
