Don’t get me wrong it’s a decent enough resource, but their big board is god awful. By their “metrics” their score difference between player 17 and player 100 is like 2.5 points. And again listing in their eyes the 15th best tackle prospect(not IOL for some reason) as a “cornerstone offensive lineman” or later in the report “ Donovan Jackson enters the NFL draft as one of the top interior offensive line prospects, with the potential to hear his name called early on day two, if not late in the first round.”

Just shows they put 0 thought into it.

Jackson is currently my G1 and I see him as a second rounder.  17 would be a reach.  49 would be about where I think he should go.  

Thanks. I saw Donovan mocked to us in the 2nd a few times before his move to LT. Hopefully he can still be had there as I think if anything
his stock has really went up since then. To be able to play LT on top of LG makes a player much more valuable in my eyes. See what Thuney
has been doing for the Chiefs. I know he gets beat, but at times he has played well and that is all you can ask of a Guard.

This is why we should bring back Ford and keep Cochran for depth. But I think Donovan could be an upgrade at LG right off the bat.

I don't specifically go into their big board.
I just look at the "average overall rank" column, which is an average from all the scouting services NDB sources from.

Trying to think of the last college G that successfully kicked out to T as a pro...Brandon Albert, maybe? 

Burch from Oregon is a top 10 DE on everyone's board. Though some have him inside.

Cochran has been in the system for multiple years now and is still awful. Pretty sure we can draft someone late or get UDFA as good or better than him IMO.

Yeah, he had one good game and then followed up with some pretty poor play. We can do better for depth, just saying I liked some of what I saw
for depth with Cochran, but Ford especially who can play all over the line except Center.

I mainly see him as a DT.

He would be on our Defense and I would love to have him. 

I like Kris Jenkins but I don't think he will be near the pass rusher Burch will be.
