LB. Notre Dame. Jaylon Smith. 10. player. 44. Edge-rusher Vic Beasley was a good addition to the Atlanta Falcons back in May. But if they’re drafting in the top 10 again, the defense still isn’t good enough. How about guy that can play either linebacker spot and draws comparisons to Patrick Willis these days?
30. To be a franchise quarterback, you have to be the leader of your team. A late-round draft pick would never be allowed to get close enough to hit a franchise quarterback. So it’s clear that neither the players nor the organization believe Geno Smith is that guy.. QB. Penn State. Christian Hackenberg. 11. player
12. player. 31. From Lawrence Taylor to Michael Strahan, the New York Giants are known for sacking quarterbacks. And if they’re going to win the NFC East, they need to get back to that. Someone that can play on the other side Jason Pierre Paul would be a big help.. DE. Oklahoma State. Emmanuel Ogbah
