Todd McShay Names Dark Horse From SEC That Could Go No. 1 In The NFL Draft

Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay both discussed first mock drafts this week, with Kiper naming Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson as his top prospect followed by Oregon's Kayvon Thibodeaux.

McShay responded to Kiper by throwing in Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal as a dark horse No. 1 pick. Per SDS:

“Jacksonville desperately needs an offensive lineman,” McShay said. “Evan Neal from Alabama could fit that bill. He could step in right away. Three-year starter, he’s played at guard, both tackle positions. He’s a monster of a man.

“But I get it. The best two players in this draft are Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux. And they’re both defensive ends, and those are outside of quarterback arguably the most important position on the field right now in the NFL, getting after those quarterbacks.”
