I think the bounty of offensive linemen, defensive linemen, and linebackers available may push HaHa back down a little.
Nothing against his talent, which is awesome, but normally the corners go before the safeties, so I could see him falling to anywhere from 15-30.
That is basically the issue. Clinton-Dix is not one of the elite picks -- i.e. Clowney, Robinson, Mack, etc. -- and a lot of other guys are going to be taken before he has a strong chance of coming off the board. At the very least, he'll have to wait on Watkins, Evans, Matthews, Lewin, Martin, Manziel, and Gilbert to be taken, and probably even some guys like Beckham, Donald, Dennard, Fuller, and a couple of others.
Obviously I hope he goes as high as possible -- both for his personal sake and our sake as a program -- but I think it's a real stretch to see him somewhere in the first 10-12 picks. Harsh reality is still that safety is a relatively undervalued position in the NFL, and for all of his talent and strengths, the NFL community at large doesn't appear to consider Clinton-Dix on the same level as a guy like Eric Berry, Earl Thomas, or Mark Barron, such that he justifies a selection at a spot higher than safeties typically go in the first round.
