1. Like MD, I believe La'El Collins and Randy Gregory will still go in the 2nd round, and I give Shane Ray a 50-50 chance of sneaking back into the 1st.
2. I think there is only a small handful of teams willing to pick Marcus Peters in the 1st. If the value isn't there, he's going to fall. My prediction? He falls. Too much talk about him being uncoachable and freelancing on the field. Teams who need their CBs to very much play within a system would be taking a big risk selecting Peters in the 1st.
3. For weeks I have felt Jake Fisher would be a 1st rounder and now I'm certain of it happening, and within the Top 25. I expect there to be a run on tackles early.
4. In the last big board projection, I predicted Landon Collins would fall out of the first and I still think he does. Just not a good value in the round one.
5. I think Carl Davis has a shot to be a surprise (to the media at least) Top 25 pick, or higher. Unless there really is something knocking him down outside of his film, he deserves to go that high. If he somehow makes it out of the first, any team getting him will be getting an absolute steal.
6. Ultimately, while I think the 49ers DO have interest in Armstead, I don't think he'll be the pick. I expect the team to trade out of its spot to select someone else they like. My hunch? Leonard Williams, Amari Cooper, or Parker, and in that order. I'm expecting an absolute trade frenzy unlike we've seen in years. Should be a lot of fun.
The Final Top 50 Best Prospects BPA Board will be available in about an hour. So stay tuned.

One right, but mostly half-wrongs or full wrongs (still totally shocked Fisher fell out of the first. Unless there's an injury or character issue, I think the kid deserved to go in round one based on talent.
