8. ILB Reggie Ragland Alabama Not my favorite choice, but he is a darned good player at a need position. http://www.drafttek.com/
Jack over Ragland and I'd be happy with that draft overall. Whitehair in the 2nd, Will Redmond in the 3rd.
If we could trade down a bit (probably for a team looking to draft a QB) and draft Ragland while picking up an extra 2nd rd pick, maybe even an extra 3rd rd pick, that would work for me. Ragland isn't the flashiest player, but he's a darned good athlete, very productive, a physical presence and a smart player. Look at the closing speed and tracking ability at :52 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9OilbFAZx0
I like him, seems like a very solid pick. I would be real happy with that pick. I know that is a highlight real, but you see a whole lot of solo tackles in it. He is a thumper, we need that.
If we could trade within top 15, draft Ragland and get Garnett or Whitehair with the extra pick... But I'm thinking maybe it would be a 3rd not a 2nd, unless there's a team hot for a QB. If in the 3rd maybe a CB or Christian Westerman. So many needs this year, unbelievable.
