I made two assumptions. First, TB will trade down in the 5th round in order to pick up a late 7th round pick. Otherwise, we will draft in the slots already in place. Second, players selected in rounds 5, 6, and 7 are viewed as developmental prospects with an outside chance of contributing on special teams in 2016.Based on the information I have seen thus far, my mock draft preferences would look like this:Round 1: DeForest Buckner DE 6’7” 290 lbs. Oregon. Will play LDE and interior pass rush for TB. I think we will pick up one quality DE in free agency.Round 2: Jalen Mills FS/SS/CB 6’0” 217 lbs. LSU. Can do it all. Provides great flexibility for defense. Kwon should know all about his skill set. Played CB at Senior Bowl.Round 3: Miles Killebrew SS 6’2” 223 lbs. Southern Utah. Hits like a Mack truck. The replacement for John Lynch we have all been waiting for.Round 4: Joe Haeg OT 6’5” 300 lbs. North Dakota State. Great career for a winning program. Has attitude much like Ali. Start out at ROT but may have skills to play LOT if needed.Round 5 (Trade Down): Jalin Marshall WRS 5’11” 195 lbs. Ohio State. May go earlier but hoping he fall a little to us in this round. Comes from a winning program.Round 6 (A): I would select one of these CB (listed in order of preference and who is still on the draft board):Harlan Miller CB 6’0” 180 lbs. SE LouisianaCyrus Jones CB 5’10” 196 lbs. AlabamaDaryl Worley CB 6’1” 199 lbs. West VirginiaRound 6 (B): I call this my “Bloodlines” selection (listed in order of preference and who is still on the draft board):Derek Watt FB 6’2” 232 lbs. WisconsinGlen Gronkowski FB 6’3” 234 lbs. Kansas StateHardy Nickerson ILB 6’0” 225 lbs. CaliforniaA.J. Zuttah DT 6’2” 290 lbs. DartmouthRound 7: I would pick one of these players (listed in order of preference and who is still on the draft board):Jihad Ward DT 6’5” 295 lbs. Illinois (good Senior Bowl performance)Siaosi Aiono C/OT 6’2” 305 lbs. Utah (3 letters, 671 snaps in 2015)Vi Teofilo OG 6’3” 315 lbs. Arizona State (43 career starts, 4 letters)Devon Johnson RBF 6’1” 243 lbs. Marshall (1767 rushing yards on 206 carries!)
