I'm going with a safe pick as a sure thing, Xavier Su'a Filo. If were talking top ten guys, most experts think Jake Matthews is a sure thing because of his pedigree and technique. Watkins for the wide receivers no doubt.

Yeah I definitely think he is one of the more sure fire picks in this draft. I"d trust that him, Watkins, and Beckham reach their potential much more than I would with guys like Mike Evans and Kelvin Benjamin.

Did you see the part of the article where it said Watkins' main concern was his size and failed to mention that Cooks is actually much smaller than Watkins? Of the WR's, I would say Watkins is the most sure-fire pick since he looks as explosive as Cooks on the field but with better size and hands.

If Clowney goes to a team that uses a 4-3 defense, he's going to be very successful in my opinion but I'm not sure he's as safe in a 3-4 defense. I like Robinson and Matthews a lot and think they will both be successful. Matthews is a sure thing starter in the league, but there's no guarantee he will be a dominant player. None of these guys are sure-fire All Pro players like it can be argued Megatron was coming into the league (barring injury).

Jarvis Landry- While not a 1st round pick, this guy is a hard working stud with a phenomenal attitude and smarts. A bit Boldinesque.

Jadaveon Clowney, Ryan Shazier, Odell Beckham & Louis Nix are the safest picks IMO.

That's who I really want us to get. We'd be set on the dline for years to come with him and Carradine. Justin Smith is a big part of what makes this Defense go. Tuitt would be the perfect heir apparent.
