Best Pick: Marcell Dareus DL Alabama
Really liked their first three picks. Dareus, Williams, and Sheppard will all contribute for them right away. Sheppard is an inside backer, out of the SEC who can go sideline to sideline and will be a great help against the run. Combine that with the addition of Dareus and you have an improved run defense. Good job by the Bills.
Best Pick: Daniel Thomas RB Kansas State
Just not a whole lot to write about the Dolphins. I think Daniel Thomas will immediately step in and be a factor in the backfield. Also, the pickup of Mike Pouncey was a good one. He can play multiple spots on the line, but there's a reason his brother went pro early and he didn't, they aren't the same player. That pick was a slight reach.
Best Pick: Tie-Marcus Cannon OL TCU and Ryan Mallett QB Arkansas
I give this grade more for their later round picks than earlier picks. I am really not high at all on Ras-I Dowling, but maybe he'll prove me wrong. Mallett was my best QB in this draft, so whether he ends up being the heir to Brady or an eventual trade piece--it was a very good pick. Also, don't sleep on Marcus Cannon. He's HUGE. And he could end up being a special offensive lineman.
Best Pick: Muhammed Wilkerson DL Temple
A superb draft by the Jets. Wilkerson is a perfect fit for that defense and what the Jets really need. He can play the nose in situations and slide out to play end. Kenrick Ellis is an elite talent, but has serious character concerns. He is 330+ pounds, making him the ideal nose tackle, and we could look back on this draft with envy for that pick. Also, Bilal Powell is a tough runner who should contribute, and Jeremy Kerley will immediately help in the return game and eventually become a good slot receiver.
