Yes. But I believe AL about Tevi...doesn't mean I like it.

TT is gonna surprise us.

Oh? Any guesses on that surprise? Or do we just have to use our...

He may say that but they will draft a better RT. They aren't going to say anything negative.

Good point. Any decent and smart coach will never say anything negative about any of his players, publicly. And this is as it should be. But you better believe that in staff meetings they are frequently discussing how they can upgrade personnel who in their view, are not cutting the mustard...

Yep. One day, it's "he is an important part of our team." Then the next day, it's "we would like to thank ___________ for his important contributions to our team, and wish him the best in his future endeavors." A bit ironic, but on the other hand, it's a lot better than a Twitter war and locker-room chaos...

Garrett Bradbury is a prospect I really like. The talk that he cannot anchor is noise. He looks fine against the monsters of the IDL. Sense of urgency, surprising power, elite out in space.

(big) value @60 if he's there,

I say Billy Marshall is wrong, and I have my sources. The article was written 1.31.19, prior to Indy. See bench reps. Defensive linemen and NFL scouts report Bradbury's punch is plenty strong. Balance. Knee bend. Technique.

Round 2 to the Panthers ? Laughable.

Jeremiah currently has Bradbury as #18 overall.

Have you not seen this before ? There is disagreement amongst punditry. It does exist. For example, Kyle Crabbs recently stated Jaylon Ferguson is terrible. Meanwhile, Jaylon Ferguson has twenty two visits.

His anchor wasn't bad against Dexter Lawrence.

Reminds me of how Frank Ragnow was reputably slow and bad in space. Lions drafted him around #20.

Yeah Nutty had the intel on Ragnow.

It would be cool to hear your takes on Bradbury vs Elgton, both in talent level and in LAC scheme fit.

I like the position flexibility on Elgton, but somebody I listen to said
he did not look particularly good at OG in Mobile drills.

There is no doubt about Elgton's anchor.

Always the case isn't it?
Which prospects seem dramatically out of round consideration?

Jamel Dean stands out. Like you said, elite traits & he's been healthy for the last two years. Some GM will clearly take a chance on him in the 3rd & probably the 2nd round - character concerns/medical checkup aside. Quality press corners are pure gold.

Rennel Wren intrigues me.
how often is it that a 2nd tier draft DT outshines the 1rst tier in the NFL? - quite often.

Everyone focuses on Wilkins/Lawrence/etc.
