I can think of a few off the top of my head:

Allen - definite
Foster - likely
Anderson - possible
Williams - highly possible
Howard - would take a break out year
Robinson - slightly possible
Ro. Foster - very unlikely

Anyone else you guys can think of?

Robinson, Allen, Foster, Williams, and Howard are all possible. Jackson is one of the top, if not the top Safety coming back for this year so he could be a possible.

It would take a Cyrus K type junior year plummet for CRob to not be drafted in the 1st round. If he has a good year, likely first Bama player drafted

I wouldn't call Robert Foster very unlikely. If he puts up close to Ridley numbers from a year ago, he'll probably go in the first. Guy is 6'2" with a mid 4.3 40.

Yeah if he has a solid year he'll tear up the combine circuit. We'll have to see if he puts it all together.

I wouldn't be surprised if no WRs hit 1000 yards. That said I wouldn't be surprised if 2 WRs hit 1000 yards.

We just have so many people to throw to, I feel like 1-2 guys could end up with 750-900 while a couple more have 450-650

After watching the draft last night, who knows...I'm guessing that leaked medical report knocked Ragland out of the first but still find it hard to believe that both Robinson and Reed fell out as well. A couple of the DTs that were goin' later in the first round I hadn't even heard of...guess it just goes to show you that the talkin' heads only have as much of a clue on draft projection as we do as just 'bout every major mock had all 3 of 'em goin' in the first round...

I read on BOL that Robinson interviewed poorly. Another knock on our DTs is that they aren't great at pass rush, they are the best at run stop, but not great at pass rush. That being said, looking at how the draft went last night you'd have to think Foster, Williams, Anderson and Allen could go first round since they are more of the types being drafted in the first round.

As far as edge rushers go, it doesn't get much better than Allen or Williams. I don't know if anyone other than Robinson would go in the first though.

Cam Robinson - likely

Jonathan Allen - possible
Reuben Foster - possible
Eddie Jackson - possible

OJ Howard - unlikely
Ryan Anderson - unlikely
Tim Williams - unlikely
Robert Foster - unlikely

Cam seems like the only one that seems definite. Everyone else will need some sort of jump or just a weak draft class at the position.
