Also, not all 1st and 2nd round Linebackers are studs either. I liked Pratt just as much as Devin White in that Draft, I don't know
how well White has been doing but I think Pratt can be just as good and was drafted in the 3rd as you know.

Devin White PFF grades:
2019 - 51.9 (46.9 run, 52.8 pass rush, 57,4 coverage)
2020 - 45.3 (54.0 run, 82.1 pass rush, 37.0 coverage)

Devin Bush:
2019 - 62.9 (63.3 run, 62.4 pass rush, 65.2 coverage)
2020 - 59.3 (64.4 run, 62.5 pass rush, 55.4 coverage)

So neither of the top guys have been studs (yet anyway). And you're right that there's no guarantee. But the expectation is the earlier you take someone, the more likely they should turn into a good player. Otherwise, don't take them that early.

Pratt's scores btw:
2019 - 51.0 (58.7 run, 51.3 pass rush, 49.1 coverage)
2020 - 44.1 (37.9 run, 63.5 pass rush, 60.3 coverage)
