If Eddie is back at 100% he would be by far the best player left in the third round.

I heard today the only knock on J Allen is arthritis in both his shoulders.

Wow, where do they get these NFL GM's? I wouldn't let most of them walk my dog, much less run a billion dollar business. Ruben falling to #31? JA falling out of the top 10? WTF?? Trubisky, bust; Mahomes, bust; Evan Engram, bust; TJ Watt, bust. All taken before Ruben. When are they going to look at how stupid they are being every year, falling in love with a template? Trubisky started 13 games at QB for UNC and went 8-5 but he fits the template real well so they cream themselves to draft him. DeShaun Watson carved up a legendary defense two years running and gets drafted after Trubisky and Mahomes who sucks too. I don't get it.

How are you going to call all those guys busts before they even take in snap in the NFL?

Dude, I would bet my bottom dollar those two QBs will suck in the NFL. Engram is a tweener and doesn't have a position. He's too small for an NFL TE and doesn't fit as a pure WR. He's a flexed out TE/slot at best. Watt was drafted on name alone, not production. He should have been a 2nd-3rd rounder at best.
Engram and Watt at least have a chance to make it. Those QBs, no way no how. It's crystal clear that unless they blow up into someone they have shown no hint of being, they are going to crash and burn hard.

He had 11.5 sacks in his first year at the position. Not only that, he is an elite athlete at the position where athleticism correlates most strongly with NFL success. He does have a pretty spotty injury history but, assuming good health, I expect him to be a top 10 player from this draft.

Which is perfectly fine. He'll play a similar role to what Jordan Reed does for the Redskins and likely be highly productive. In fact from a size and athleticism standpoint he actually compares pretty favorably to Reed.

Watts fits the Steelers defense perfectly.
