I ran FanSpeak Live, which lets you see the downstream availability of players. Here’s who’s there at #59. I’m not trading back, nor should we:

52 LB Trenton Simpson – Clemson  (6 contacts, including Pro Day)
58 OT Matthew Bergeron – Syracuse (4, including Kromer working him out and scout at Pro Day)
61 CB Clark Phillips III – Utah (Kincaid teammate but tiny. Excellent at zone, though.l 4 contacts, including Pro Day)

62 TE Tucker Kraft – South Dakota State (no visits, same position as Kincaid)
63 G Cody Mauch – North Dakota State (no visits until Combine)
64 WR Jonathan Mingo – Ole Miss (1 contact, Kentucky-Old Miss, 1 catch for 3 piddly yards)
65 RB Zach Charbonnet – UCLA (30 VISIT, 4 total contacts, Pro Day, scouts at Utah (22 for198 9.0 YPC, 1 TD Long of 49) and Oregon (20 for151, 7.6 YPC, 1 TD, Long of 33)

I took Bergeron. 

At RD3 it’s possibly a trade or a S/LB. All IDL are reaches. Very doubtfully a playmaker. Please not Dell.

71 LB Daiyan Henley – Washington State – No contacts, no Pro Day until Combine
84 LB Nick Herbig – Wisconsin – 3 contacts, incl Scout at Pro Day and Michigan-Wisconsin (5 tkl, 4 solo, 1 TFL, 1 PD). Derek Mason, the DC, coached under Leslie Frazier in Minnesota
