He's 7th in this class with HUGE upside.

You don't need to link NFLDraftBuzz I've read it.
All I'm sayin is Grant got very few sacks in his 3-year college career, and it wasn't like he was on a team where he was the only pass rusher.
In a majority of cases, a player doesn't have lower production in college and explode in the NFL.
And yes, I know and agree there's value in having a guy who can help generate pressure and command double teams.
Very Reader-esque.
With that said, without actually getting home often, I dunno if I'd invest a 1st round pick, at least not over Walter Nolen.
That's just me though.
If you like Grant more than Nolen, that's fair. I just am not currently in that boat.
I will say this though - If Kris Jenkins was always envisioned to take BJ Hill's spot, I could see Jenkins as the starting UT and a guy like Grant as starting NT with Jackson in the Tupou 2-down run stuffer backup NT role.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
