Jerald Hawkins, Vadal Alexander, and Tre White are reasonably certain to go 1st round.

I'm glad he ended up at Ole Miss. It allowed us to see those craptastic High Schoolesque plays with him at RB. Good for a laugh.

Dude was an All-American as a sophomore. I wouldn't expect you armchair coaches to know, but stats don't tell near the full story with any DT prospect.

Bets are he goes in front of 90% of any of your team's draft-eligible players next year.

If you watched any of our games this year, you would know that stats don't tell the full story with Nkemdiche.

He's got to finish better to complete his game, but he disrupts the line badly almost every play.

Here's an example: LINK

He ate up almost every single line with double teams, allowing guys like Gross and Haynes to have great years.

Nope.

He doesn't have 15 sacks from the DT spot so he sucks.

Maybe if somebody projects him as a DE.

DTs just aren't as valuable as CBs and OL, and I don't necessarily think that Nkemdiche is the No.1 DT in the class right now.

I watched a few OM games, including the one vs LSU and he was meddlesome, but hardly a major factor. He hasn't lived up to his 5* -- supposedly the best player in the entire country -- hype.

Glenn Dorsey sure did. And he was double-teamed, sometimes triple-teamed, and chop-blocked to death.

Nkemdiche will be a DE in the NFL, like Clowney made the move from DE to LB in the NFL.

I'd be 110% shocked to not see Tunsil in the Top 3(barring an injury this year) and Nkemdiche in the top 5-7. Obviously, projections mean nothing because it all comes down to team needs.

Hmmm, I guess you know more than an LSU alumni, former NFL DT and current football analyst....

You're trying too hard. Dorsey played on a DLine that allowed him to do that. Let me give you the guys that play on the line with Nkemdiche and the LBs that play behind them.

DLine:
Marquis Haynes
Isaac Gross
Rob Nkemdiche
CJ Johnson

LBs:
Sederius Bryant
Denzel Nkemdiche
DT Shackleford

Please go look up each of these players and tell me one similar trait about these players(minus Shack)

Which is exactly why an assertion about which potential first round pick gets drafted first is borderline retarded.

In an IRL fight, Nkemdiche v. Skipper would be a fantastic bout.

You realize he shoved Skipper because big Dan was bitch slapping Nkemdiche around the field that game. Frustration was real.
