Rather which ever players they take with their two first round picks.

I would see where they will put Key on the defense. I think Key is too light to be DE possibly outside linebacker.

All the mocks have him going either late 1st or early 2nd. Do you think he’s bad?


Do not think he is a first rounder at LB. Fast, but undersized for the Pros. At times he looked like better fit at SS.

He’s a good pass rusher which is what makes him valuable.

There are LBs that are around his size like CJ Mosley, Mark Barron, and Luke Kuechly among others.

Mosley and Kuechly play every down and do not go MIA for multiple plays. Barron is a converted SS who fit into that slot out of desperation. The problem with many Bama players is they are drafted higher than they should have been and when they do not produce to a 1st Round Level they are called a bust. I feel that would be the case for Evans.

Evans played every down. He good job against the run and pass rushing. He also dropped back into coverage on a few occasions.

Neither does Evans?

The same can be said about many players from many different schools that get picked in the first round.

Luke is listed at 6'3 245...Rashaan is listed at 6'3 235 which means he is probably 6'1 and 225. He has a place in the NFL, but I doubt he'll become an every down LB unless he gets drafted into a perfect fit.

Barring injury Minkah will be All Pro in the NFL.

This, exactly. He is a USC QB, though, so he has to go early.

I love this reasoning. Because height/weight are almost always exaggerated.

However, why would one players be exaggerated and the other one is not? If you take height/weight off one to prove your point, shouldn't you take it off the other ones?

I'll probably catch some flack from my own fan base for this one, but Calvin Ridley. I don't think he has what it takes to be a #1 at the next level. I'd love to be proven wrong.

I think he's talented but not the total package that he's kind of billed as.

I agree on Ridley. Good but not great.

I dont' think good but not great qualifies as a bust. Honestly I don't think Ridley or either in the OP will be full blown busts.

Loved him as a college player but don't see him being an effective pro


Not sure he’ll even qualify as a bust when he gets picked in the 3rd round.

Still hurts you doesn't it Shug?

I would say every QB taken in the 1st round might just crash and burn.
