Some believe specific prospects fit the best, while others will swear by certain players. Everybody has their draft crushes. Today, we\u2019ll share those.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">To be clear, this does not mean the best players at their positions. For example, at safety, I am intrigued by A.J. Haulcy from LSU and Zakee Wheatley from Penn State. Both players will be drafted somewhere between the second and third rounds. Haulcy screams like the ballhawking safety Raheem Morris would covet, while Wheatley is the jack-of-all-trades kind of safety who could be a plug-and-play starter for any defense. Will they turn out to be stars? Who knows? But those are my draft crushes at safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here\u2019s my all-draft crush team:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">QB: Garrett Nussmeier<br \/>RB: Emmett Johnson<br \/>WR: Chris Bell<br \/>WR: De\u2019Zhaun Stibling<br \/>TE: Eli Stowers<br \/>OT: Monroe Freeling<br \/>IOL: Beau Stephens<br \/>EDGE: Joshua Josephs<br \/>DT: Caleb Banks<br \/>LB: Jake Golday<br \/>CB: Keith Abney<br \/>S: A.J. Haulcy<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I\u2019m a big proponent of variance in sports. As you can see, the ceiling for some of these players is sky-high, while the floor would get you fired. Others, like Stephens and Josephs, are players I could see contributing in the NFL for multiple contracts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Which players are your draft crushes?
