There's always a few, so predictions of players who might drop, and how far they might drop?

I could see Makai Lemon dropping significantly. I wouldn't be hugely surprised if he dropped out of the first round. He's a good player, but has likely tapped his potential and isn't elite at anything. He's a solid, safe pick but will only be a slot receiver at NFL level, and I think teams will be more inclined to pick a player with more elite traits and a higher ceiling at whatever position in the first round, and choose one of the multitude of exciting receiver's that will be there on days 2 and 3
 
Mesidor and Tyson are the obvious ones. Mesidor could fall out of the first round altogether because of his age. Tyson's injury issues could drop him into the twenties.

Avieon Terrell had some bad testing and I don't think has ever given first round lock guaranteed vibes. I could see him dropping into the second.
 
Caleb Banks will be interesting to watch. Top 10 talent, IMO, big medical risk.
 
Blake Miller. Brandon Thorn is very low on him for what that's worth.

Love could slide considerably in the first

I don’t think Love does. He’s just too good. FWIW, and I’m not saying this for point scoring as I think he has him far too low, Thorn has Iheanachor even lower than Miller. Like 3rd round low.
 
I feel like Denzel Boston slips out of the 1st.

I think I misheard Thorn's take on Miller. Perhaps was talking about Lomu.
 
McCoy might slip out of the first with injury complications.

Howell's historically short arms are an issue.
 
Lots of pub lately about Bain's arm length and car accident.
He could be a slider.

Thats the kind of thinking that had Amon-Ra slide. Lemon is Amon-Ra with more juice.

Hes not slot only. He absolutely can separate outside. He may profile inside for the most part, but he is a capable outside receiver. Same things were said about JSN and hes a top 5 WR in the league.

If hes there at 31, he should be the pick. BPA by far, fills a need. He can fit what McDaniels wants to do, but also what Drake wants to do. He could play with Brown, or without.

I agree, he could possibly slide. Many guys slide for stupid reasons. But if he does, I hope the Patriots are the ones that stop the slide.

We'd be idiots if we didn't take Lemon at 31 we could use a Real Slot Receiver.
 
Lemu has many who don't think that Lomu will be drafted in the first.

I think that we take any of the others, probably willing to trade up a bit for any of them., but I see no Lomu in our future.
