After our Top 10 offensive draft picks , we thought it was high time to do the top defensive draft picks. So heres Alex Ferguson on who the selectors should get defensively… Top offensive players View From America... Myles Jack (OL, UCLA) Myles Jack [right] in defensive mode Myles Jack was such a terrific athlete that he also played running back for the Bruins when they really needed one, and was pretty successful. Unfortunately, a knee injury this year caused question marks about his future. But if Jack stays healthy, hes going to be a bona fide NFL hit. Joey Bosa (DE, Ohio State) Joey Bosa shines in the snow Described by college football expert Sean Fitz as a future first round pick, Bosa didnt do anything to make people think differently in his final year. Hes the sort of guy who can control offensive lines at the line of scrimmage - although there are questions about how well he turns a corner to get at a quarterback. Still, hes a fine tackler (five sacks, 51 tackles) and was highly thought-of by the college football gods (two All-American selections).Jalen Ramsey (S, Florida State) Jalen Ramsey [right] dives through the air to make a tackle When I first saw Ramsey play in college I thought that he was a future star, and things havent changed since - apart from his production fell a little bit this year as the ball was thrown away from him towards his other secondary colleagues. Hes 60, and has incredible jumping skills. Cant wait for him against the Odell Beckhams of the NFL.Vernon Hargreaves (CB, Florida) Vernon Hargreaves #1 defends a pass Like Ramsey, he didnt see a lot of offences go anywhere near him in his final year - but when they did, it was generally a schoolboy error (he had four INTs and earned an All-American spot).Reggie Ragland (IL, Alabama) Reggie Ragland #19 knocks an opponents helmet off Ragland was the linchpin of Alabamas National Championship victory, and he was a brilliant tackler (102 tackles) and could also get to the quarterback (2.5 sacks). He could also put the pass away (seven passes defended) and was a huge leader on an Alabama team full of leaders. Some teams will be begging Ragland to drop further.Shaq Lawson (DE, Clemson) Shaq Lawson #90 attempts a sack When Lawson was missing for Clemson, you knew it. That was how good Lawson was. Armed with great brights, a 63, 270lbs frame and he led the NCAA in tackles for loss. So he was pretty good at getting through offensive lines, then.DeForest Buckner (DE, Oregon) DeForest Buckner #44 battles two opponents Buckner shone on one of the worst defences in college football (117th out of 128) which gave up 62, 55, and 47 points in just three games. It was that awful defence because the 67, big-handed Buckner was double-teamed all the way through the season and still managed 80 tackles. His biggest game was when it mattered in the showdown with Stanford when he had 10 tackles and a sack in a freakish performance.Sheldon Rankins (DT, Louisville) Sheldon Rankins makes a tackle Called an interior disruptor by the US media, Rankins biggest game was against the ACCs best team - Clemson, in which he had eight tackles and a sack. He had five tackles and a sack in the bowl game against one of the next best teams in Texas A&M, too.Eli Apple (CB, Ohio State) Eli Apple dives in for a tackle Another of the very talented players coming from Ohio State, Apple was another cornerback who found himself thrown away from - grabbing just one interception and 33 tackles all season while the year before he had three and 53. Hes a physical defender that might need some coaching-up before hes the real thing. But hes still very good.Robert Nkemdiche (DE, Ole Miss) Robert Nkemdiche grabs onto his man Nkemdiche is an intelligent ballplayer whos going to destroy offensive lines when he gets to the NFL. Arguably, hes better than Joey Bosa, but questions over his character issues mean that he gets a 5 on talent but a 5 on the Worry Factor, too.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Justise Winslows position with the Miami Heat has finally been clarified.Hes their small forward.That is, unless hes playing power forward.Or shooting guard. Or defending the oppositions point guard. Or playing at center, as he did at times out of necessity in last seasons Eastern Conference semifinal series against Toronto.In Heat vernacular, the second-year player out of Duke is a Swiss Army knife, a jack-of-all-trades whose role is fast increasing. Not only will Winslow be called upon to play multiple positions, hes also being asked to take more of a leadership role now for a team that -- without Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh -- is rebuilding on the fly this season.Thats what I want, Winslow said Wednesday. Thats what Ive been working for my whole life, to make it to the NBA -- not only that, but to be a star and have my own team one day. This is the next step in me progressing and getting there, expanding my role and growing as a leader. And I accept whatever the coaching staff throws at me.Winslow was one of the last players to leave the court after Wednesdays morning practice, a full-contact session that had players diving on floors and crashing into one another throughout. And after it was over, Winslow spent a good half-hour working on his shot.The oldest Heat player is taking notice of the extra work the youngest Heat player is doing.Hes going to play a little bit of everything, said 36-year-old Heat forward Udonis Haslem. Just be Justise Winslow. Be that Swiss Army knife we need. One night it might be 10 rebounds. Another night it might be seven assists. Another night it might be 15 to 20 points. Just be Justise Winslow. He has the ability to do all those things and he has a high-enough basketball IQ where he knows when he needs to be aggressive, make plays and do oother things.ddddddddddddWinslow, who would be going into his junior year at Duke if he wasnt in the NBA right now, isnt just Miamis youngest player -- he holds that distinction by a lot.Hes 20; next on the Heat age lists are 23-year-olds Briante Weber, Stefan Jankovic and Josh Richardson.He was quiet, Haslem said. But he fit in right away.Winslow was the fifth-youngest player to get time in the NBA last season, older than only Tyus Jones, Stanley Johnson, Rashad Vaughn and Devin Booker. And more than half of the 60 players to get taken in this years draft are older than Winslow as well.He doesnt have to listen to anybody elses expectations, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Theres so many things out there about who he needs to be or what position he needs to play, how many more points a game he has to score this year. Hes going to get more minutes, more responsibilities. I want him to embrace that in a healthy way and not try to live up to anything coming from the outside.That doesnt mean there arent things Winslow wants to emulate.Wades departure over the summer hit Winslow hard. They bonded quickly, forged by Wade realizing that Winslow was willing to learn anything and everything he could from the three-time NBA champion wanted to teach. Winslow would spend time chatting up Bosh about nuances of the big-man game; their lockers were side-by-side last season.And this summer, Winslow was part of the group invited by USA Basketball the U.S. Olympic team and help them prepare for what became a gold medal at the Rio Games.Seeing all those guys come together and not really care about stats before the gold medal, thats the kind of mindset we have to have as a team, Winslow said.
