I like Achane. I like the talent he brings to the table. But his size scares me, really scares me. But nonetheless, the talent is unquestionable.
Freeland I'm 50/50 on. I worry that he tests better than he performs.
Young, Robinson and Stills I feel are reaches. I can see someone taking a chance on Tavius but I'm not seeing Young or Stills being selected at eihter 134 or 178. But we will see in a couple weeks.
Bernard-Converse I do not like the pick at all. If it is LSU CB here, I would have rather seen Mekhi Garner than JBC. There could be Rezjohn Wright, Alex Austin, Myles Brooks at that spot. JBC could possibly make the UDFA market.
Hodges I'm down with. Sneaky good pick.
Gipson? What is it with these munchkins? I just don't get it. I'm not seeing the value of having a stable full of oompa loompas at WR and RB. As you can probably tell, I don't like Gipson for the NFL.
So as you can see, 50/50.

Young is a pretty highly thought-of player for what he is. Nobody is making any mistake about him being more than what he is as an early-down run defender. He's basically Nnadi before Nnadi went into complete suck mode. Most pundits have him in the 4th round. I don't think it's a big reach or anything but admittedly it's not a sexy pick.
Robinson has shown enough flashes I think to warrant a late 5th-round pick. Definitely not reaching on anyone at that point in my opinion. You're basically picking straws there. If a guy fell, like Horton for example, I'd jump on that. I just think he's in the range of late 3rd to late 4th much like McGuire and Diaby. Sure, if one of those guys falls down that far I'd change course. It's more about what I think is available at that point and it's definitely not what's available on pickyourfavoritedraftmachine.com.
I love Stills. He's the same guy as Calijah Kancey to me. That means one of two things, either Kancey is being drastically overvalued or Stills is being drastically undervalued. I'm going off of consensus opinions from writers I respect and that's where they have him. I think it has a chance to be far too low. My personal opinion is this is a 3rd-4th round guy and so is Kancey. Neither is the ideal size, neither are exceptional run defenders, and both get after the QB quite well. But as I said, you kind of have to give some credence to the national beats and think they might have a slightly better pulse on how teams feel than what my eyeballs alone tell me. Personally, I'd probably have the 3 of these guys as 4th Stills, 5th Young, and 6th Robinson. It's all relative though.
