Queen didn't have the proverbial light come on until he saw an increase in his playing time. It isn't a slam to say he couldn't win a job over Devin White. I wouldn't say he went from a 6th or 7th rounder once he started playing more. He flashed his abilities throughout the year and the needle kept pointing up the more he played. I wouldn't say that Delpit's talent was descending, but he clearly didn't play his best in the biggest moment (the championship game) as Queen did. Queen's performance going sideline to sideline and stuffing Lawrence (who was winning games like the OSU game with his legs more than his arm) looked very attractive to me in terms of what he will see with Lamar Jackson.
Queen is also one of the most coverage-capable LBs in the draft...much more so than Murray. That is what we need next to Pratt.
I don't think he will be there, but if he is, I think Queen is the pick.
Uh, no.
Queen was still graded as a 6th/7th rounder after the SEC title game. He jumped only after the CFP.
Did you watch much Clemson? The NCG was actually Lawrence's 3rd highest rushing total of the season, and that total includes 2 sacks. OSU was the only team he really ran wild on all year. Lawrence is like Burrow. They can run, but they're pass first. Lawrence's failure in the NCG was in the passing game, where he was held to season lows in Completion % and TD's. It was not Queen stuffing him in the run game.
