Assuming we draft on best available (as there are numerous areas of "need" to fill) what realistic targets do you all have pegged on your early charts (ie I love Trent Richardson as much as the next guy, but he just won't be available in the 20's).
1) Vontaze Burfict - MLB (1st round): This guy clearly has anger/discipline issues on the field, but I feel like the Denver D needs a little of the "nasty edge" that he provides, and defenses like the Ravens, 49'ers, and Steelers possess. He is a vicious, vicious hitter and with the right coaching, will be that MLB for years to come.
2) Lamar Miller - RB (2nd round): He may be available at this point, and would be a great value pick to develop behind McGahee. As much as I like him, Ball is not a #2 option.
3) Janoris Jenkins - DB (3rd round/trade up to 2nd round): I am not quite sure he will be available in the 3rd round, but you never know (Hernandez was the big pot smoker at UF, and look where he ended up dropping to). Either way, if he interviews well, and can prove he is over the immature phase of his life, he brings a sick skill-set to the table and would do well learning under Champ. A lot of Gator fans felt he was the better DB than Haden, and look how good Joe Haden is now for Cleveland.
4) Orson Charles - TE (4th round): He is leaving Georgia early, and may be a bit undersized, but is a big time talent. Again, may not be available at this point, but its fun to imagine.
What do you all think?
