I do these lists each year ... things to note. Im light on descriptions, there's an entire internet full of that. I mainly read the guys on the board so you don't even have to leave the site. Main difference is that I cover close to 600 players, maybe more. And I cover their entire career of visibility. I'm generous with my grades ... assuming that they'll be drafted in a solid situation. I try not to listen to unverifiable info, but if it matches body language I was curious about I am unlikely to ignore it (see Mekai Lemon). The 5-6 round section enters the gray area ... Would I draft them? Yes, I have them draftable ... but I'd much rather they slide off the board. Again, it's numbers. I have more guys listed than are going to be drafted ... by a lot.
This is the OT section and Im doing it first because I feel like swing OT is a need but have ZERO idea where that comes from, Im starting to think we maybe draft 2. In this case, the 3-4 section and the beginning of the 5-6 section? I want to talk about it. There are a lot more legit OTs in this draft that may not be starting quality but that are serviceable at a tough position and may have upside.
Basically, what I'm saying is that "usually" the list gets cut off because players can't hit the measurements or athleticism necessary. This year, Im getting into depth with players that are still OTs because of either athleticism or size while other years the later guys were either not athletic enough or guys that should move inside. We also reached our new mark. There's a legit 6-10.25 human being ... and he scored really well in testing. My markers are normally 33 inch arms, I will make an exception for players that are over 6-7. Normally I italicize targets, in this case I'm italicizing guys I want to talk about.
