I wouldn't be shocked at all if he accounts for 3-4 touchdowns as a rookie between ST and defense. If you follow the trajectory of his cover skills from '15 to '16, it's clear he's making rapid progress. Not having to worry about offense will help him to focus his development.

[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 720719, member: 12283"] Here's my final wish list from the names that I think have a good chance of being there at our picks. Obviously falling talent will always change things. These are in no particular order. Pick #29: [LIST] [*][B]Forrest Lamp, OL, WKU:[/B] I view Lamp as both a high floor and high ceiling prospect who would only fall due to positional value. Said value is certainly a factor, however if there is a run on corners and pass rushers, I think you take the stud here and move on rather than reach just to say you addressed a given spot. He could start right away, I would expect a high level of performance as a rookie, and I don't think All-Pro is out of the question for his ceiling. [*][B]Malik McDowell, DL, MSU: [/B]This hinges totally on the staff's opinion of his personal character as there are red flags in that regard. However, if they believe they can get the best out of him (and if they're right), this could be the steal of the draft. When he wants to be, McDowell is the 2nd best prospect in this draft. I really believe that. He isn't the OLB that people have in mind, but he [I]is [/I]a pass rusher. Compares to Deforest Buckner on his good days. [*][B]T.J.
