I was thinking about who would likely be the first player or position chosen and I think it's a no-brainer: Jack Conklin. It's a combination of the amount of depth we have at each position, the amount of seniors that will be assigned to each team, and just how damn good Conklin is.
There is no questioning that there is a drop-off from Conklin to the next best tackle, specifically at LT. When you evaluate the other positions, this also exists at QB and DE, but both Cook and Calhoun will be seniors, so they'll actually be drafting the teams.
When you consider the other positions, maybe RB, maybe TE, maybe DT (McDowell), maybe guard/center will be the next positions taken. This depends on how the team values London compared to Holmes, Price compared to Lyles, and if they'll let Brian Allen play center.
But really everywhere else, there I think you're happy with whoever you get, whether it's QB (O'Connor or Terry), MLB (Bullogh or Reschke), OLB (Frey or Powell), CB (slew of them), etc.
