I would love to get an update on the progress of his knee and his shape. Those are his two biggest concerns.
 
Wouldn't be too sick with him in the 4th. Great grab in Round 5. Bargain in 6. Won't lass 'till 7th.
 
Great grab in Round 5. Bargain in 6. Megasteal in 7.

From what I've seen, he's projected to go between Rounds #3 and #5. But he could easily drop due to concerns about the knee and his weight.
 
I'll ******* take that tenacity in a heart beat (homerism most definitely included)

If he is 100% healthy, you could do worse in the 3rd. The guy really does have talent. He got hurt, but I heard a lot of GMs are not as concerned with OTs who had knee injuries. I think it is the weight that is the concern.
 
Before his injury, he was dominating. He'd be a great value pick in the mid rounds.

I've read some concern with his technique and footwork as a LT. Some seem to question whether he is a LT in the NFL.
 
He's in my mock:

#1, Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, TN, 6-2, 215, 4.44, BPA, Duane Bowe clone but much faster

#2 Jamie Collins, OLB, USM 6-4, 250 4.60 Best 3-4 OLB and pick with Jets trade of Ivory

#3 Darius Slay, CB, Miss St 6-0, 195 4.38 Tall Fast Corner, fits the Rob Ryan mold

#4 Chris Faulk, LT, LSU 6-5, 323 5.18 Started season as one of top 3 left tackles, tore ACL after first game

#5 TJ McDonald SS, USC 6-3, 220 4.62 Harpers replacement in 2014

#6 David Kruger DE, Utah 6-5, 290 4.95 Will Smith's replacement in 2014 and rotates with Akiem Hicks

FA Latavius Murray RB, Central FL 6-3, 225 4.38 Chris Ivory's replacement

FA John Boyett FS, Oregon 5-10, 205 4.69 Injury concerns, Jim Leonard clone, probably goes to IR this year and project for 2014

FA Ryan Griffin QB, Tulane 6-4, 220 4.89 Competes for Backup job, and probably wins

FA Kwame Geathers DT, Georgia 6-5, 340 5.45 Dad Jumpy played for Saints. Competes for backup NT and allows Akiem Hicks to play more at DE

That awkward moment when we don't have a second round pick
