I know, I know, it’s way too early for this. I’m fully aware that the Senior Bowl just ended and the combine is still more than three weeks away. I’m a huge proponent of landing spot over talent, and the draft won’t even be finished until late April, but you have to start somewhere, right?

In most annual 2-5 round Devy drafts that are relatively depleted, there aren’t typically a lot of sure-fire choices with great college production in the first round or two.
