Still finalizing my viewing lists. Been busy with the 3 month old. I'll have a better handle on things after the Senior Bowl, probably.
So far I'm locked in on Evans at linebacker. I think he's a slam dunk in our scheme. I'll try to throw together a basic position ranking and edit this post in a bit, but it's pretty incomplete (and I'm not even touching guys who will go top 25; not fair to expect them to fall, although realistically some are always available). Just because they're on the list doesn't mean I'm a big fan -- it just means I haven't discarded them yet. Likewise, if they're
not on the list, it doesn't mean I don't like them -- I just haven't even come close to finishing my evaluations this year.
