If they do end up trading down and getting an extra 2 out of it, Kris Jenkins is another guy I'd want to target. He's strong enough to bulk up and play nose, but athletic enough to become a future 3T as well. Draft day this year will certainly be interesting.

Bowers>BTj>Quinyon>Worthy is probably my preferred draft order.

At this point for me (since I know there's a snowball's chance in hell Ballard will draft Latu and his sub 33" arms):

1) Bowers
2) Thomas Jr.
3) Quinyon
4) Trade Down (A. Mitchell as the target in Round 1)
5) Verse
6) Arnold

As long as it's not Worthy, I'll be happy.

I would love it to be Latu...but sadly it won't be. Ballard is risk averse, and I doubt that Latu is even on his 1st round board.

As I have said before the GM's that pass on him will still be thinking like the GM's that passed on Suggs.

I hope you're right, and honestly there are several picks I'd be happy with as mentioned above, but Latu just doesn't seem to fit the DE profile Ballard likes to draft, especially with the medicals. Dallas Turner is the DE profile Ballard likes to draft, and IMO he has the biggest bust potential of any player projected to go in the top 25.
