The thing is that there are always surprises in the draft with people rising and falling. For some reason I just have a feeling a solid LB will be dropping. I can see a team or two trading up back into the first to grab a QB and I predict a run on CBs as well, allowing other players to fall. DEs (both 4-3 and 3-4) will be getting a lot of attention as well. I can even see the Giants trading down a handful of picks and pick up an extra 3rd or something, although I don't suspect that will happen.
For Ijalana, I think he would be a reach in the first, but he'll be gone by their second pick I suspect, so I don't know how likely it is that he'll end up in Pittsburgh.
