Because the Rams drafted Turner and Nacua last year (both highly rated by PFF but somewhat unknown), I thought it might be a good idea to keep an eye on players from this year’s draft highly rated by PFF, but not talked about/rated highly by draft sites. Some are generally rated high, others are rated high in just one area. For instance an OL might be very good in pass pro but not good in run blocking.
