Could Christian Wilkins & Dexter Lawerence be #1 picks?

Hey, I don't know about the race, that would be something to see.

Dexter is on the path to being an all time great in college as a DT. He is a rare breed of man, most young men of his weight don't move as fast as he does. I could say the same for Wilkins, but specifically Dexter with height and weight. Seems though, as in case of Beasley for example, that DE's could be the next "highest" first round pick. Meaning, if Ferrell continues to play the way he has, and develop he will go as high as Beasley did if not higher IMO.
I'm a Beasley fan, obviously, however Ferrell has him in height by 3 inches, weight by 40lbs and length. Similarities, high motor, relentless and can get after the QB. In the League, the two highest players seem to be the QB, and the man who get's after him. Therefore being the two most sought after draft picks. Overall though, all these guys on this line will be first and early second rounders'.

My money says DL goes #1

If Dex stays healthy there isn't team in the NFL that would pass on him. It's hard to believe but he is only 19 years old! At 6'5 340+, a motor that doesn't stop. He DEMANDS double teams, is as good a 300+ lb pass rushing DT, as you'll ever see, runs guys down in the backfield, rag dolls guys on the interior, Dex is destined for greatness. I really wish they would have unretired 66 and put it on him. When I see him play its just un-freaking real that a man that size can move like that.

As for Christian Wilkins, I think with a really strong year, going back inside, he is going to put his name in contention for that #1 pick. I hate to say this but moving outside last season, I think he got overshadowed in a sense. He was a beast in his own right, but we had Watkins that put up good numbers inside, DL was a phenom and we had Ferrell breaking out. He was a force on the outside for sure, showed his athleticism and versatility. If I had to call it I'd say he'll go #3-5 and the #1 DT in the draft.

Call my glasses orange tinted but we have the 2 best DT's in the Nation. Not just as a tandem, but individually as well and I dont think it's close.
