I agree. Damien Lewis and Jefferson are slightly underrated. Grant Delpit is very underrated. He should be a 6.7. Saahdiq Charles looks a little overrated.

ETA: I misread Saahdiq’s rating. It’s about right. However, I think Queen is a bit overrated. He should be about a 6.4.

Phillips doesn’t have the speed that NFL teams covet in linebackers these days. I still think he’s pretty underrated here. I think he’s going to be one hell of a backup at the very least

ETA: should be in the 6.1-6.2 range imo

Justin Jefferson is extremely underrated.

Excellent hands, showed on field how dominate he was, is killing the combine, was already considered one of the best route runners around...not sure what else the kid can do

I wonder if these grades are pre-combine.

I just don’t see how Queen is a better prospect than Delpit, but then again, what do I know?

That would mean at least 13 drafted with a real chance at a new NCAA school record of 15.

That has to be one of the most talented college teams in history. That's not even counting the underclassmen either. I would take a guess of some of the others that played and are coming back...

Stingly 7.3
Stevens 6.7
Harris 6.1
Vincent 6.1
Shelvin 6.4
Emory 6.4
Davis-Price 6.5
Chase 6.9
Marshall 6.5
Rosenthal 6.2
Ingram 6.4
Deculus 5.9

That whole team was basically a NFL JV team, absolutely amazing.

It's just crazy how talented the team was. Not to mention some were not ranked that highly out of highschool and were developed at NFLSU's factory.

Phillips should have come back to school and I agree with the Divinity score...I think he has the talent but something was always holding him back and hopefully he puts it together.

Queen can also cover very well for a LB. Much better than Phillips. Phillips hits a lot harder & sheds blocks easier, but that's about it.

Queen is still pretty good against the run, but he doesn't have near the size of Phillips. Queen is going to be coveted by a lot of teams, b/c he can do everything & you can trust him against the pass.

Everyone is forgetting the fact that Phillips and Moses were the best in pass coverage for linebackers for the 2018 season. I didn't see a drop-off in Phillips' pass coverage skills in 2019.

They probably don't think that will translate to the NFL like Queen will. They don't just barely rank Queen higher. It's a huge discrepancy.

I find Divinity highly underrated. Talent wise he is the best LB LSU had.
