Well, rankings are subjective. Most people prefer to use their own eyes and draw their own conclusions.
Also, those rankings are not set in stone. They are fluid and will look totally different closer to the draft.

Here's my thoughts on the kid: Better athlete than football player. He is going to test off the charts at the combine...however, he doesn't have great football instincts, nor great football intelligence. In nearly every game I watched this year, he makes one really bad decision/mental mistake that causes a HUGE chunk play. He will collect tackles (he is a very solid tackler) and flash at times due to his incredible athleticism. However, overall, he is NOT a first round football player to me.
I pretty much feel the same way. His athleticism is exceptional and when he's making a full and fast flow reads(ie outside zone), he looks incredible running to the ball. However, during tight flow read(ie vs a dive, iso) that require playing aggressively downhill through trash, his attack steps can become inefficient, and he'll often play himself out of the window. People like to give Roquan s**t for his struggles taking on blocks and rightfully so, but Edmunds has the exact same issue despite being 6'5" 250 lbs. He's really good in man once he's got his guy, but I think he struggles with processing route combos in space and keeping his head on a swivel in coverage.

Umm. We did it with the 3rd overall last year

People in this thread are acting like there is no room for growth with these kids. It's up to our coaching staff to get these young athletes coached up so they can reach their full potential.

He's going to go top 20 because of his athleticism and ability to play all three downs. He is not coming off the field. Just too rich for me.

Not excited even with a trade down. We'll see after FA and combine but would rather take a CB in this scenario, Ward or Jackson. Actually would prefer Vea, Ridley, Landry or even Mata'Afa

You would take Vea and Mata'afa @ 9?

He seems like another fast riser like Solomon Thomas... I don't want us to take him.

I'm saddened to hear that Bucky Brooks is suffering from CTE.
