DeForest Buckner isn't on Baylor but very solid list. I like that you have Bullard in the top 15, I think he is a stud. What do you like about Dodd over Lawson and Doctson over Treadwell? Just curious. Great list!
Funny I had Buckner on Baylor. Thanks for the catch. I have watched about 10 games of Buckner and Bullard and grade them as the top two interior DL in the NFl draft, which is funny because both are probably going to end up as DE's. Simply unstoppable on the interior. Impact on nearly every play. Motor on every play.
Dodd's play kept improving as the year went along. He was terrific against Alabama, Started seeing as many double teams as Lawson toward the back end of the year, and is a better run stopper. Lawson has a tendency to give up when pulling guards come around the corner. Wonder if he has a shoulder injury, or is simply not a guy who is willing to take on blockers who pull. Overall, both guys are terrific players. I could end up reversing the order. Very close to call.
Doctson simply more productive than Treadwell. Without his injury, he would have dwarfed Treadwell's numbers in 2015. Treadwell had only six 100 yard games in 2015, in 13 contests. Doctson had six 100 yard games in 10 contests, and 200 more yards in three less games. I just think he has a slight advantage at this point. That being said, I love how Treadwell is committed to blocking. Both boys are not afraid to get at it with corners.
