I love Hughes. If he's there in 2, its because of the assault as a freshman when he knocked a guy out. I don't see him slipping, really. Maybe teams won't like his size and top-end speed enough, but he's so good on the field that it's hard to think someone won't take him early. He's going to get some serious love from teams still employing a cover 2 scheme.
Like I mentioned in Direkshun's mock, I don't mind sweat if its closer to round 4. A late 3rd is fine. I would not like a 2nd round pick spent on the guy. He needs alot of work and someone has to light a fire under his ass off the snap or he's useless.
I like Ragnow a bunch. I'd support a trade up into the top of the 3rd. I don't know if you spend a 2nd on him, but maybe you do. Same with Braden Smith. If you're that convinced that either of those guys solves your problem at LG, then I support going up and getting them. I'd have more confidence in Smith being there at 78 than Ragnow.
I like Malik Jefferson a bunch, but is he a need now with Hitchens and Ragland penciled in as the starters? I don't think so. He could be a sub-package coverage linebacker early on, but are you willing to spend a 2nd round pick on him to get that?
Dorance Armstrong just doens't bring enough to the table. He's going late I'd think. 6th/7th round pick that you hope develops.
