McShay is the only one I have heard of that has him anywhere near that high. Not being a top tier athlete, I think his draft stock will take a bit of a hit at the combine, as well.I guess I'm really high on him due to how agressive he is as a run blocker. Z and boling are both aggressive in run blocking feel like elflien is the missing piece. Right now mccshay has us with a corner at 8. and I believe if we went down to 15 he is worth it and we would get a second and third maybe even a 4th considering if we're moving down 8 spots. In draft central portion of , I went into detail on both the prospects I believe we should get elflien at 15 and McMillan in the mid 20s by using that 3rd and a 5th Comp to move up. I also included what pro scouts had to say about them before this season as well as individual awards. Read that and if u still don't believe he's worth a mid first round pick we just have differing opinions . I think he is the cornerstone of our line for 10 years.
That said, I like him as a prospect and he would be a major upgrade over Bodine at C or could start at RG for a year if Zeitler leaves and Westerman isn't ready to start. As bad as C has been for so long, I'd be cool with giving up a 4th to move up from the 2nd into the 30-32 range to get him and have the 5th year option that comes with a 1st round pick. But, he just isn't worth a mid 1st round pick. If some team wants him that high, they can have him and we can just wait on Pocic in the 2nd, because its unlikely 2 C's go in the first 40 picks.
My other issue is, I really wouldn't consider trading down unless Garrett, Allen, Williams, Fournette, and Cunningham are all off the board, because an elite talent like them would do a lot for this team. Even then, it would take at least an early 2nd or a mid 2nd and mid 3rd for me to want to move down that far.
