Sutton is probably the most underrated player in the league. No All-SEC selections so far in his career and not anywhere near as much hype as VH3 but he is projected as a top 10 pick and probably our best CB in the past 10-12 years.

100% agree

In what world does DB trump OL in any evaluation setting? OL, particular OT and LT is one of the big 4 in scouting. QB, DT, LT , DE are the premium positions in scouting. All 4 of those get overdrafted and over ranked yearly. Elite CBs are probably next and extremely valuable but they pale to the other 4.
Takes special talents coupled with huge need for a DB to be top 5. Patrick Peterson barely made the top 5 and he is the best CB talent in the last decade. Hargreaves is a far more skilled and game CB than Peterson, but not as purely talented, so I definitely think he can crack the top 5 but its gonna take the need to be there for a team to take him that high. He's special and I think deserves to go that high, maybe even #1 but the odds are against him. I love the kid though and hope he does. Hope the Saints can find a way to get him

My knock on OJ is that he doesn't win jump balls with corners, does his vert suck or something?

I'm glad Alabama fans have the same opinion as me.

Derrick Henry is big and fast (a rare combination for a running back), but he isn't very quick, he doesn't display great lateral ability, and really struggles to break tackles or make guys miss unless he has a full head of steam. I also question his vision when there isn't a huge hole to hit.

He just goes down way too easily for a guy his size. And he doesn't even fall forward. His potential is high, but has a ways to go before he's a top 3 round pick.

I kinda wish he wanted to play te. I think he's potential is through the rough there, and it's becoming a higher paid position than TE, and it has a longer career shelf life.
