Caleb Banks to disappoint at the next level
so he's the one who's probably gonna break, your heart whether GM's like i just feel it in. My bones if we can get him in, the building ... and in three years you're wondering why you drafted the Guy
Caleb Williams to disappoint at the next level
if I was a betting man right now, I would say this is not gonna work. I don't think Caleb is good... you would put money on Caleb Williams not working out... worst case scenario, Kayleb Williams is a bust, which is a tough word to say when you draft a guy number one overall
Mazi Smith to disappoint at the next level
Mozzie Smith was a I wrote this down inactive, so he's a bust.
Anthony Richardson to disappoint at the next level
And let's face it, the Anthey Richardson. He is the new version of Trey Lance. They swung for the fences that they whiffed.
Will Campbell to disappoint at the next level
they took Will Campbell fourth overall... does he project more like I don't know who am I think of Eric Fisher like just like an okay guy who's gonna maybe be the twelfth best tackle in the league. I want something better than that.
James Pearce Jr. to disappoint at the next level
He is the one that I would not want in my building... I like passwords who know what they're doing when they rush the passer, and not just kind of upfield athletes who tests really well but don't quite know how to play football
Mason Graham to disappoint at the next level
I just what I'm taking with a top ten pick. I think there's better value further down the board than he is. I have a high second round grade on him.
Travis Hunter to disappoint at the next level
I'm gonna throw Travis Hunter out as a player that could be, that could underachieve.
Travis Hunter to disappoint at the next level
There's going to be a couple players in the top fifteen that will be busts... I'm gonna throw Travis Hunter out as a player that could be that could underachieve.
