Michael Trigg to be picked at number 74

Rueben Bain to be 2nd pass rusher off the board
“He is my number two rated passer by the smallest of margins. And, really, it comes down to their yes. Pass rusher.”
Grayson Holt to be picked at number 109

“you come back and you get Jadirion Price, his running mate at Notre Dame at 74”
Monroe Freeling to be picked at number 40

Caleb Downs to be picked at number 9
