CBS has updated their Big Board post-combine so I took a crack. Instead of trading up, I traded down and still got my QB choice of the second-tier group.
30: R1P30 QB PAXTON LYNCH MEMPHIS
52: R2P21 DT AUSTIN JOHNSON PENN STATE
62: R2P31 RB DERRICK HENRY ALABAMA
85: R3P22 TE AUSTIN HOOPER STANFORD
120: R4P21 C JACK ALLEN MICHIGAN STATE
159: R5P20 CB JONATHAN JONES AUBURN
166: R5P27 ILB JARED NORRIS UTAH
198: R6P20 WR DEMARCUS AYERS HOUSTON
TRADE PARTNER:

ROUND: 1 PICK: 30
ROUND: 2 PICK: 31
With the bonus pick acquired in the trade, I was able to get Mr. Heisman as well as Lynch. Austin Johnson is a big DT that came from Bill OBrien U. who will help whenever Wilfork runs out of gas. Allen is a name I haven't looked at before but there was a big drop between him and the next best OL on the board. He has that C-G flexibility, a former wrestler who excels at line calls and short-space movement. On the downside, he's a bit small for the pros.
