====================================================
Some interesting notes.

Jameis Winston and Mariotta where 97 and 93 rated last year, while Wentz and Goff are both 91 this year.

Both Elliott and Gurley are a 92.

Bosa and Leonard Williams both rated at 96.

Both drafts have 22 players rated at 90 or above which is considered rare according to them.

Lynch is not in there top 32.

2014 draft had 25 players rated at 90 and above.

The top 10 had nobody rated under a 93 while that is highest this year at 4.

They seemed to hit on the majority of guys in the top 10 in 2014 except the top 2 Clowney and Robinson.

I'm having a lot of trouble believing Bosa is the top prospect in this draft.

Yeah that threw me as well but they have more hits than misses.

I don't. I think he very well could be elite. His measurable's weren't outstanding at the combine, but neither were a lot of guys who become elite players. I think he steps right in day 1 and makes his presence felt in some ways.

Tunsil is the best prospect but Bosa is definitely worthy of being top 3-5. Everybody is in love with blinding, dynamic speed off the edge, but that's not the only characteristics a DE can possess that are worthy of taking in the top 5. Tough, physical, 270+ lb guys on the edge who can stuff the run, give you 8-10 sacks a year year and collapse OT's down into the QB's lap are very valuable.

DUCK!.

Massively overrating Ragland. He is my surprise fall into the second guy.

I don't see it, his stock is not falling.

I didn't say he was. I just find it hard to think someone is going to spend a top 20 pick on a two down LBer.

That is why I used the word "surprise".

Yeah I don't really see the reason to love Ragland. Doesn't look special to me in any way.

To be fair, Gurley's being injured probably dinged his score.

They still have Smith at a 90 and he is much more of an unknown.

Would have no interest in Ragland even in the second. That Baylor WR looks decent though. 2nd rounder? Anyone?
