Players don't "fall down" draft boards. Projections are imaginary. People just say that a player fell down draft boards so they can look like they knew what they were talking about what's something out of their hands happened

Hate to say it, but the Thorpe this year was more of a career recognition. You don’t see that happen to often. If he does fall out of the 1st, someone gets a steal.

Cincy gets Burrow and Delpit!

The draft hasn’t happened yet so he hasn’t fallen anywhere

Great year 2 years ago. Average year last year

Delpit had a good not great senior year. He had an incredible junior year. Who knows.

He didn't have a stellar senior year

I have to say it..."Hopefully the SAINTS will draft him".

Big Pat William's feom the Vikings was drafted from Texas A&M and he never started there. The Vikings drafted him off of his junior college film. The NFL knows exactly what they are looking at and looking for. It is why they call them the Pros.

If he falls to the Saints, they should pull the trigger after getting their WR yesterday.

God-awful angles he took often didn’t help his draft grade any.
Neither did diving on the ground to make tackles

He was a great safety at LSU and should be a 1st rounder, but he’s not on the same level as Steltz, Landry, Chad Jones, or Jamal Adams.
He’s about where Ed Reid was coming out tbh. Reid was drafted 18 overall but probably could have fallen to a late 20s pick.

Ed Reid huh?
He’s much better than Craig Steltz too. Delpit is elite when healthy.

I love Delpit and I think his play was definitely down in large part due to injury last year.
That being said, I regularly listen to a good NFL draft podcast (stick to football), and one episode they discussed the top safeties. And Delpits name obviously came up - the three guys talked about his soph year and his upside given his talent. They brought up the fact that he was injured a lot last year. But the one huge red flag to them seemed to be effort. They mentioned the amount of times on tape he simply isn’t trying.
And then, I saw it myself as I rewatched LSU-Clemson last night since I had nothing else to do. Watch the Tee Higgins TD run on the reverse. Look at Grant the whole time. It’s the national title game and he doesn’t make a tackle that would prevent a TD because he half heartedly runs behind the play. It was a really, really bad look.

Better his sop.year! Not so good last year!

Yes, Grant lost himself a lot of money on that Tee Higgins play. I literally cringed as I watched it live. Notable he caused the game-sealing fumble at the end of the game tho.

Honestly, Stlingley outproduced him..

Feeling the same way as most posters here, I read up about him winning the Thorpe at the time. It seems to be openly acknowledged that, while not the same with all awards, the Thorpe is often given as a “career” type of award. And when he’s healthy, he’s elite. I like to think that many of his bad (read embarrassingly terrible) angles that he took this year were a symptom of trying to play hurt, the same as he played when healthy. If you’re half a step slower when hurt and take the same angles you take when at 100%, it could make it look like he just took a bad angle since he isn’t as fast as he normally would be, taking the same angle.
