There are some guys in Rds 2-4, but I don't think there are really any 1st round caliber 3Ts other than these two?
Unless people are considering Tyleik Williams and/or Derrick Harmon to be close?
I get your point though, which is you are willing to wait on a 3T and would rather go with a potential Vita Vea type NT in Grant instead of getting Nolen and a more typical 2-down NT in the mid-late rounds.
I've been considering Williams a 2nd round prospect up until I read this post and decided to dive deeper. He has a first rd grade mid-late. The defense he played on had multiple, multiple goal line stands. He can play both DT positions at 327 pounds.
As I mentioned, I've considered him more of a 2nd rounder, but he probably will be gone by then. Both the reigning SB Champion Eagles and Pittsburgh have him very high on their board. Those two teams have been smacking dingers for years when it comes to assessing Dlinemen.
Grant and Williams have the same knock; they are inconsistent at times. Grant and Nolen are both terrific prospects and currently deserve to be ranked a little higher than Williams, but let's not act like it's a huge gap. Because there isn't one.
