Did CJ Allen get picked? He might be a really good fit. We do need more linebackers.
 

Overview
McCoy is a toolsy outside corner with CB1 flashes, but an ACL tear robbed him of a much-needed third season. Hips and feet are smooth, allowing for quality lateral transitions and efficient gathers to match hard-breaking curls. He’s athletic in his recoveries but average acceleration leaves him chasing too often on go routes. More focused, physical press disruption should make the rep easier to control. He’s opportunistic with strong ball skills at the catch point. His route squeeze and zone awareness should improve with more reps. We should expect McCoy’s athletic traits and instincts to help him make up for lost time once he gets into camp.
 

2023: Played in 13 games with 5 starts (19 tackles, INT, 4 PBUs).
2024: Second-team All-ACC. Led team with 12 PBUs. Started all 14 games (58 tackles, 4.5 TFLs with 1 sack, 2 INTs, 3 FFs).
2025: Third-team Associated Press All-American. First-team All-ACC. Tied for third in the FBS with 5 FFs (tying school single-season record for a DB, set career record for a DB with 8). Tied for team lead with 9 PBUs. Started 12 games (48 tackles, 4.5 TFLs with 3 sacks).


Overview
Avieon shares the same bloodlines and coverage temperament as his brother, A.J., a first-round pick of the Falcons in 2020. Avieon Terrell is an athletic, fluid mover with clean transitions and enough speed to stay in phase on most vertical routes. He’s most effective in press-man coverage, where he mirrors releases with timing and discipline, staying crowded to the route. He concedes 50/50s to bigger targets at times, but is a constant catch irritant with good technique on all three levels. He can play wide or inside and is willing in run support, but he lacks ideal size. Terrell projects as an early starter thanks to his polish, ball skills and coverage versatility.


Lil Peanut could be a quality get.

Hmmm.
 

Overview
Press-man bully with an ability to put his stamp on the first and last phases of the snap. Hood plays with a disruptive punch and gets his hands on most releases, but shifty NFL wideouts could create issues for him. He has enough speed to stay phased on verticals and does a nice job erasing space on in-breakers from tight press or off-man looks. He’s disciplined in zone but route switches still cause occasional missteps. Hood plays with aggression in the catch space, taking top positioning by force. Physicality also shows up in run support, where he triggers downhill with stopping power and finishes like an extra safety. Hood needs to sharpen his instincts/technique, but he has the mentality and upside to become a CB2 in a press-heavy scheme.
 
I mean fuck it flip a fourth round Dylan Laube pick to move up to 33 and get your guy.

McDonald or a corner likely helps this team the most.

Some fuckin fringey Thornton style guy at pick 100 shouldn’t be the reason to cost you a difference maker.
 

2022: Played in 13 games with 1 start (7 tackles, FF).
2023: Tied for third in the FBS with 4 FFs. Played in all 14 games with 5 starts (69 tackles, 4 TFLs, 2 INTs, 3 PBUs).
2024: Started 8 games (61 tackles, 1.5 TFLs with 0.5 sack, INT, 5 PBUs, FF). Missed the final 5 games due to injury.
2025: Third-team Associated Press All-American. First-team All-MAC. Led team with 3 FFs. Played in all 13 games with 12 starts (77 tackles, 5.5 TFLs with 0.5 sack, 2 INTs, 5 PBUs).

Overview
Long, downhill safety capable of bolstering a team’s run defense and playing enforcer over the middle. McNeil-Warren is most valuable when playing near the line of scrimmage or in robber positioning. He anticipates well in coverage and is quick to close on receivers but will need to be protected by scheme to prevent speed mismatches. He’s urgent in run support and has a feel for slipping blocks/meeting runners early in the carry. He’s a rangy tackler, but needs to quiet his feet when diagnosing and flowing downhill to tackle. McNeil-Warren might be pigeon-holed schematically but he’s good at his job.

I like Ponds more than Terrell.

I assume Terrell pulled a hammy. Or is he really slow?

 
Not trying to be a dick, but why all the love for Boston?

He seems very average.
 

2025: First-team Associated Press All-American. Big Ten Conference DL of the Year, first-team All-Big Ten. Finalist for the Outland Trophy (nation's top interior lineman). Started all 14 games (65 tackles, 9 TFLs with 3 sacks, PBU, 2 FFs).

Overview
A talented run defender, McDonald plays with natural leverage and rattles pads with his initial contact. He’s quick to locate ball-carriers, play off of blocks and rally to the action. His technique is a bit underdeveloped and he’s not a natural drain-clogger against double teams, but he still managed an unusually high tackle rate as an interior defender. Quicker hand strikes should allow for more efficient reps and earlier wins at the point. He offers limited rush value, so his money will be made by giving grief to centers and guards as an even-front nose tackle with starting potential.
 
All day. But I have a feeling he’ll be sniped before then

Christen Miller or Boston then?
If Spy and Kubiak think Boston is a legit #1 receiver, then that is an easy choice. I haven’t watched him much, but his draft profile would seem to be a good fit with Mendoza. Would think we’d have to get a S on day two though.

All in on trading up for Boston or McDonald.

I’d take Hood or Ponds over Terrell.

C. Miller’s my backstop.
