Pick One Player at Pick 24

This is a strange draft year in terms of scouts agreeing on prospects. I have seen players like Xavier Rhodes and Barrett Jones mocked to the Colts, but I have also seen them as high as 14 and as low as 39.

Here is a list of 20 players that could potentially be available at pick 24. I have seen about 35 players listed as Top-20 picks, and simple math dictates that won't work. Many of them will fall to number 24. I will divide them into two basic categories: likely GONE at 24 and likely THERE at 24. Two years ago, I would have put Anthony Castonzo in the likely GONE category, as some mocks had him at #9 to the Cowboys. Last year, I would have put Coby Fleener in the likely GONE category at pick 34. Both are now Colts.

Also, I did not put any true nose guards on the list. None of these mockers know about Chapman and McKinney. I did put Sylvester Williams on the list, as many have suggested he will actually play DE in the 3-4.

So, if you could only pick one player on EACH list (likely gone and likely there), who would you pick? (Unless you indicate otherwise, I will assume you would take the likely gone if there but SETTLE for the likely there.)

Likely GONE at pick 24:

Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma

D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama

Sheldon Richardson, DT/DE, Mizzou

Johnathan Banks, CB, Miss. State

Ezekial Ansah, DE, BYU

Cordarelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee

Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama

Likely THERE at pick 24:

Barrett Jones, OC, Alabama

Sharrif Floyd, DE/DT, Florida

Sam Montgomery, OLB, LSU

Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina

Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington

Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State

Keenan Allen, WR, Cal

Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor

Arthur Brown, LB, K-State

Eric Reid, S, LSU

Alex Okafor, OLB, Texas

Matt Elam, S, Florida

Sylvester Williams, DE/DT, North Carolina
