Below is Mel Kiper's 1st round Mock Draft. He has us taking Raji and Maualuga falling to #20 to Detroit. I feel Raji is the right guy to facilitate our transition to the 3-4. He is big - 6'1" 323, physical and a plugger. Chung would be my guy in the second round.
Needs: NT, DE (at least 1), S (at least 1) - could use a corner and or another LB like L.English. We should also look at a C and a RB (Brown or Green).
Our D Next Year Theoretically (3-4 fits, quesiton marks are trouble spots)
OLB - Doom, Woodyard (maybe take L.English in the 3rd), work Boss in there?
ILB - Larsen, DJ Williams,
NT - Raji
DEs - ? Thomas maybe, Clemons, ?
S - Chung and ? - I still have questions about Josh Barrett
C - Champ / Jack or Josh
