Stedman Bailey would fit in our offense perfectly.

I have no idea who we should draft, I have never watched a college game in my life. But I hope we use our first round and our highest second round pick on wide receivers. Then id like to see us try and replace Vonte Davis in the second round as well. After that I dont know, just fill what ever holes need filled, right guard perhaps.
Hopefully next years draft will bring improvement and the one after that could actually make us competitive.
Also a hypothetical question for you draft nerds, if Tannehill had stayed another year in Texas, played well and showed solid progression what pick would he have been in 2013?

Tannehill couldn't stay another year because he was already a Senior. Secondly, he was better as a junior than he was as a senior.

One thing I notice watching most of these receivers is a tendancy for dropped passes. For some of 'em it isn't necessarily something new... but for some of 'em it is.
I see them all, including several that are probably a little off the radar of the general draft community and underrated prospects. The only one's I haven't seen any dropped passes from are Stedman Bailey and Aaron Dobson.
One of the most underrated defensive ends I've found is Western Kentucky's Quanterus Smith. This kid could start in the SEC.
He's 6'5", 250 pounds with incredible quickness... and he can bend. I watched him personally wreck Alabama's offensive line last Saturday for 3 sacks and 3 TFL's. I dug in to some of his 2011 film and watched him dominate Sun Belt competition week in and week out. Very talented and well coached kid that will likely find his way higher on my board than most.
Coach Taggert's squad has another very underrated linebacker that I already knew about. He's an underclassman and unlikely to come out this year although it's certainly possible by the name of Andrew Jackson. At 6'1", 255 pounds he moves, plays, and reacts a lot like a young Ray Lewis. In fact, he played at the same high school as Ray Lewis (Kathleen). Jackson had offers on the table from SEC schools.
It's no coincidence that this team plays everybody tough, and beat Kentucky yesterday. Despite some of the underrated talent they have, they're just so well coached....especially in the front 7.
Joe Fauria is a nightmare mismatch in the redzone. UCLA likes to use him in the slot or lined up at the "X" position to run some X-iso and get a mismatch on a cornerback. However, he has no clue when it comes to blocking out of a 3-point stance, and that's being generous. Tremendous weapon in the passing game.
Datone Jones is an absolute animal at DE for UCLA. Even got some time on offense and caught a touchdown pass Saturday vs. Houston.
I know thats why I said it was a hypothetical question. If he was in next years draft and had a solid year I would expect him to go a lot higher than eighth. I was just curious what people who under the draft a lot better thought.

Shamarko Thomas is a kid that I've talked about since May as an underrated safety prospect. Ironically, he finally got his first career interception in man coverage against what is probably the most dynamic passing combination in the country... a Matt Barkley pass intended for Robert Woods down the seam vs. USC. Just an outstanding play by Thomas.
Neither Knile Davis, Marcus Lattimore, or Justin Hunter look 100% healthy at this point. I know what they look like completely healthy and they're just not there yet.... nor are they supposed to be this soon.
