Espn had him has the 17th overall best player. That's what I was referring to. I don't know if there were any mock drafts that actually had him as a mid 1st rounder.
daniel jeremiah on the nfl network had him highly rated as well, but what we saw again was potential at certain positions is a very strong draw.
consider that not only no safeties were taken in the first round, but i don't remember one interior defensive linemen taken last night.
you had multiple defensive ends/ edge rushers who either opted out last year or played a nominal amount of games last year but tested exceptionally well at the senior bowl, school workouts or personal work outs.
we also saw the proverbial run at a position as you had teams late in the first round take corner prospects who are exceptionally athletic, but highly inconsistent and the selection of the titans has already had two back surgeries.
trevon goes today, he will be well paid, and he gets to start on the next phase of his life.
the guy who i think is going to come out of the draft disappointed is ar'darius, but time will tell
