156th overall-Brandon Dixon-Northwest Missouri State- Dixon is a small school corner with NFL starter traits. He’s big and muscular and fast, as well as quick. Can play slot receivers as well as the big boys outside. Can play press and is probably best in a press man scheme. He also has the profile to play safety too. All that makes him versatile, and probably has him as a hybrid defender who can do a variety of things at the next level.

Alternate pick-Victor Hampton-South Carolina- Hampton may be worth the risk this far down. He’s a kid who has had discipline issues, and was suspended by the team from participating in their last bowl game which would indicate that in a big game like that it would have to have been a very serious violation. If not for that he’d be a sure day 2 pick with only his size preventing him from being a day one pick. Lots of good qualities to consider this far down.
