If completely healthy, I could see Jaylon Smith coming off the board in the neighborhood of #5, Kendall Fuller around #15, and Karl Joseph about #25 or so.
And because of the extraordinary depth at DT this year, Austin Johnson will likely come off the board in round 2 even though he might have come off the board late in round 1 in most other drafts that aren't so DT-heavy. So, that's a lot of value there.
I think Fuller and Joseph will both be good to go by training camp (the fact that they aren't now is only making them better values in my mind...don't see either as a long-term injury risk...of course, team doctors obviously know way more that I do).
I acknowledge that Jaylon Smith will likely need at least one full medical redshirt year, and may never be the same player again, but at that point in the draft, it's a risk I'd be willing to take (especially if I was able to get an extra day two pick via trade down).
