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.
The interior linemen this year seem to be really thick in the middle of the draft. The 3-4 round range is massive. This means guys may slip to the 5th-7th range ... Also, given the sheer number of players I thought worthy of note, we should be able to pick up UDFAs as well. Noting ... there are more OCs than in any draft I can remember. Also? Guys are seeming to catch on *before their last year in college that they need to move inside ... I think this is making it easier to grade them. The 3-4 round area might start right away, but likely will spend a year in reserve or a year getting their feet wet while in a bit over their head. The guys at the top of 3-4 likely could be seasoned by the end of year 1.
