Josey will be the steal of the draft if he can stay healthy. Guy's got a pretty good 2nd gear.

Seriously...would you trade our (yet to be determined) draft for Ealy, Sam, Gaines, Britt, Josey, and Washington?
Honestly, I think I would...and I'd grab Maclin in FA just for good measure. |

Which rounds are they each projected for...? |

I would like to see Gaines become a Chief, especially if we could add him in a middle round. He might be a good fit for what we do here defensively. |

Getting Ealy and Gaines that late would be fortunate but not out of the question. |
Britt had a very good season and a nearly-perfect Cotton Bowl. Assuming his knee checks out, I wouldn't be surprised to see him move up the draft board a bit. His punch and lateral quickness are outstanding.

Guess it's Reese, then. Unless they manage to land Frank Iheanacho and he plays right away. |
Looking at the depth chart a little bit more, I really think it would be smart to be creative in the way Harold Brantley is used.
Missouri has two quality, proven DEs in Shane Ray and Markus Golden, each of whom is capable of being a star. But beyond that, unless Dante Sawyer flips on his visit in a few weeks or Rocel McWilliams is much better than anticipated, you're looking at projects like rs. freshman Charles Harris or rs. sophomore Ricky Hatley and a guy like Marcus Loud, who did have some quality offers - Michigan State and Mississippi State among them. They probably get at least ONE good player out of that group next year, but hitting on 2/3 as underclassmen seems like a stretch to me. Mizzou has four quality, proven DTs in Matt Hoch, Lucas Vincent, Josh Augusta and Harold Brantley. And it has several redshirt freshmen who hold promise: AJ Logan, Nate Crawford, DeQuinton Osborne and Evan Winston. All that considered (and I know it's a wall of text), I think it makes sense to think about playing Brantley at LDE/SDE. You could still rotate him inside on passing downs, just like they do now, and it would mean either Ray or Golden isn't "officially" a starter, but I think that's Missouri's best chance to get to a reliable, 8-deep rotation next year. |
Brantley, Ray, Golden, and Loud are all going to be very good players next year.
