Seems like there's usually at least one player or more who gets picked a lot later than expected.
I would think maybe Mike Adams or Courtney Upshaw.
Predictions?

McClellin
I'm gonna say Tannehill.
Maybe not a Rd.1 faller, but Janoris Jenkins was once talked about as a late 1st/early 2nd pick. I can see him falling to day 3.

I'll go with Mercilus.
I'm starting to see Coples sliding down near the end of R1. I thought he was generally considered one of the top DL's in the draft. What gives?

Coples is this years Daquan Bowers.
Might not drop as far as he did and for different reasons, but his slide down the boards is similar.

Coples basically admitted to sloughing off his final year and trying to avoid injury. His falling won't be a real fall IMO because I think teams knew about it for a while and had already knocked him down a ways.
Peter Konz into round 2.
Also I have Michael Brockers falling to New England at 27.

I think Konz could fall, and Blackmon, too. But my guess is going to be Courtney Upshaw as well.
If Konz does fall....how tempted would Lord Vader be to draft him, and have him learn under Saturday?
I'm hoping we get McClellin. But if the Pats take him, Konz is a good pick. But O lineman three years in a row? Hmm.

OL makes a lot of sense though. GB needs a C for the future, a possible replacement for Lang next year and Sherrod's health is a question mark right now.
I'd prefer a draft heavy on defensive players but at the end of the day, the team revolves around #12, as it should. Keeping him on his feet and healthy is paramount.

@TyDunne
Scout on J. Jenkins: "He's going to continue to smoke (marijuana). He's pretty honest about it. He's trying. He just can't stop smoking."

there's honesty and then there's stupidity.
cmoun JJ, make a million dollar decision about a two cent plant.
there's a time for everything and right now it's time for football.
if you're lucky and have a 5-10 year NFL career you'll be able to smoke ganja after that for the next 40-50 all you want.

biggest bunch of BS I've ever heard. "Trying" to quit smoking pot is NOT hard, believe me. Especially when you consider the prospect of a making multi-million dollar salary.
I know guys that can blaze up every day and operate just fine. I, personally, have never been that person.
If the guy can play on the ganj, great. Drug testing would be a impediment to his NFL career though. Is his stance generally stupid? Yes, he's also 20dumb years old.

Winner is Upshaw. He slid completely out of the 1st round.
I'll be interested to eventually find out why it happened.

To be honest, I was cheering for either Superfreak or Upshaw. Been watching him for over a year. Great player on the Nat Champion. Lots of intangibles except speed when compared to Superfreak. Not attending Pro Day hurt him v Superfreak, IMO.
Talk about falling in the draft.... Florida, Florida State, Miami, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, and Oklahoma. Not one first round pick in the draft from any of those schools.
