Mason is a disruptive penetrator

Grant is more of a push the pocket two gapper

My 2 cents? Grant may ultimately be the better pro, and does show promise with regards to the pass rush, for a NT. Mason Garret has made a living outsmarting olineman in college...but many scouting reports mention how if he doesnt win right away...if the olineman latches onto him, he gets neutralized...and I have seen this. Tremendous floor, but jmo...I think more physically gifted prospects like Nolan and Harmon have higher ceilings. Despite a lack of power and length, Garret will get overdrafted top ten, because he is a really good football player...but I wonder if he will get much better...and think he might be a surprise slider to the teens come draft day.

Many of the pundits and experts claim in 5 years time Grant will be the best NFL DT out of this draft. He has the highest ceiling of them all. So putting him with his former HC and D Coordinator would make the most sense in terms of wanting to hit that ceiling.

It is just showing of how big project he is. Not a player we should draft as do not make us better straight away look at last year 4th Rd pick.

Hate this take, I mean in 5 years...Jim can retire, Minter can secure. HC job and Herber can leave but we might have best DT from 25 draft class, cool.

It’s tough to draft a guy based on what he’s going to do on his second contract IMO.

[electricgold]

There is a chance S Nick Emmanwori will be on the board at 22! There are some who believe he will be the best player on the board at 22 if he's there!

I bet Minter could use a combo of Derwin and Emmanwori to make a brutal secondary if it comes to it.

You hate your 1st round pick to be a bit of a project....Here's Zierlein's take on Grant...the good, bad and ugly:

Overview
Grant is a broad-bodied nose tackle whose tape can run hot and cold depending on the game and the types of blocks he’s facing. He struggles to anchor when hit with down blocks due to his narrow base and tall pads, but he uses his power and length to beat single blocks and split double teams when he finds the crease. He had some sack production in college, and we could see him improve in that area once he learns to create more rush space with his hands. Grant’s game will finally come together in full when he’s able to take his impressive physical attributes and impose his will on opponents.

Strengths

• Built with a broad chest, thick lowers and long arms.
• Capable of playing multiple spots in odd or even fronts.
• Can absorb and split double teams when pad level is right.
• Possesses club strength to knock blocker off balance.
• Good strike and extend with arm-over release as a two-gapper.
• Put together a solid performance in upset win over Ohio State.
• Bangs around with heavy hands as an interior rusher

Weaknesses

• Too often lacks explosiveness for dominant early phase reps.
• Plays with tightness in lowers and a narrow base.
• Has a tougher time growing roots against angle blocks.
• Limited range and short-area quickness as a tackler.
• Poor first-step quickness to create advantages for his rush.

Nobody is saying he is a project...his floor is starter...we are saying his ceiling could be much higher...as of right now? Instant upgrade for us.

The big thing with Grant - how will he be as a person who can rush the QB. Now, that doesn't mean year 1 he has to be polished in this aspect. But over his career - can this part of his game be a net positive.
