One thing I love about Zierlein's grades for the Combine site is they let you easily compare prospects from different classes. Last year, everyone was all in on Darnell Wright, who had a 6.40 grade. By comparison, there are 7 T's graded better than that this year.
Was Zierlein able to provide a Grade for JC Latham ? or an Estimated Grade ?
Latham hurt his ankle in the National Championship game on 1/08/24 & was helped off the field.
I think that he would have tested had he not hurt his ankle.
Assured as a 1st round pick & having a short window to get back up to 100% at his size likely led to him just letting Teams rely on his Game Tape.
He has always seemed to take his Job seriously, so I still Love him as pick, although many want to avoid him for not Testing.
Latham has the size & girth that is hard for defenders to move and looks long & athletic enough to me.
FWIW - Mel Kiper has him going to the Chargers at Pick #5.
