re: CBS sports has four tigers in the 1st rd for 2020. Might surprise you where they are.

Chaisson is an animal. Raw, sure, but he's a fricking freak and NFL scouts know that. It has nothing to do with his hype or his star rating coming out of high school. There are people paid very handsomely in the NFL to turn raw talent into production, and they don't take advice from people on a forum.

If he was a 3* prospect he would be getting anywhere near the publicity he gets.

He’s a 5* that has 3* production. His potential is off the charts and that’s what’ll make him a second day selection in the NFL but his technique and instinct just isn’t there.

Chaisson is a hard-worker and a quality character so scouts will love him but he’s not an elite pass rusher and that’s where most of his hype is centered around him being or becoming. Can he set the edge? Sure, all day. Is he strong and fast? Yeah. Does he have great technique? Hell no.

And if you want to see an example of these supposedly untouchable publications and NFL scouts completely whiffing on a player with tons of raw talent look at Taco Charlton. It happens every year where these “scouts” and media-types latch onto a player that hasn’t produced at all on hype alone.

ETA: and it should be noted that Chaisson had only started playing football in his junior year of HS or something crazy like that. His work-ethic and character has brought him to where he is today but he is NOT worthy of a first round pick on production or based on what he is NOW. He’s constantly improving and IMO needs to make major leaps in an understanding of leverage and technique. Any projection that has him being taken in the draft that high is either completely sold on his raw talent getting him there or is just a meme based on hype.
