Weaknesses of 2020 NFL Draft LSU prospects

What do yall think are the cons of LSUs draft prospects as they project to the next level. I think it’s important to not be biased and recognize certain players strengths but also weaknesses, which does not get mentioned often on a team forum like this.
I’ll get it started
Burrow- if anything, i guess he doesn’t have a rocket arm. Which isn’t required for being a great QB, but some people fall in love with that trait

What is this, pretend to be an nfl gm day? Hard pass.

Sahdiq Charles seems to be on most experts draft sites as a tackle. I think he is undersized to play that in the NFL at a high level. I see him as more of a guard. But hey, Sahdiq, go prove my arse wrong.

Burrow - No weaknesses except, as you said, not an elite arm strength.
Delpit - Tackling. Even healthy this was a weakness last year.
Cushenberry - Handling power rushers was a problem in 2018. In 2019 not so much, but he’ll see a lot more in the NFL.
Lewis - I can’t think of any, unless he doesn’t pull well. Didn’t see it much this year.
Jefferson - top end speed
Rashard - Injury prone ankles and quickness
Phillips - Lateral pursuit
Queen - None
Chaisson - None
Fulton - Speed and lack of ability to high point.
Chaisson, Queen, Delpit and Burrow are four complete players. We were so lucky to have this group.

Chaisson lacks techniques, has no go to move, lacks strength, and not very fast. There are numerous reasons he didn't live up to expectations.

Dude, you missed a great season this year

Chaisson- needs to be stronger, better technique, lack of production, and the injury concerns
Queen- undersized, misdiagnoses plays, doesn't block shed too well

Jaysus, a thread on weaknesses.
Herman Johnson was the heaviest recorded live birth baby in Louisiana history.
Is that a weakness Verne?

This is pretty obviously false. His technique improved ALL season and you saw it pay off in the most crucial spots. As far as not very fast, I am not sure where you are getting that from.
I'll give you lacks strength, relative to a DE, but he will bulk up quite a bit once he is in the league.
You don't get to be a projected first rounder if, like you're alluding, don't have any strengths.

I can't wait til Spring Practice so fans can critique the new players and not make fools of them selves criticizing the best team in NCAA history.

I love Queen, & think he could very well be a Debo Jones type of player in the league. But I agree... NFL scouts are going to love a guy like Queen, but you’ll see them nitpick his smaller size, & he doesn’t shed blocks very well. I think his diagnosis of plays greatly improved down the stretch, but yes, he’ll get a few negative marks from the scouts for this.
That being said... he’ll still be drafted pretty high, & should have a bright NFL career.

Burrow- probably his age, which will put a cap on just how much more he can develop. Will turn 24 at end of nfl season.
CEH- long end speed, & “dancing” with the ball. Would really thrive on a team with good players around him. Not sure he can be the dude .
Jefferson- ability to play outside, overall size, strength after catch
Moss- speed. Think he needs to lose 10lbs.
Lewis- handling quicker DLs
Cushenberry- handling powerful DLs
Charles- lack of length, and he’s almost too lean. I think teams will love his body to mold as a G.
Chaisson- needs to get stronger, keep developing pass rush moves
Lawrence - player out of position as a 3-4 DE. He’s much better suited inside a 4-3. Speed & athleticism exposed on edge
Queen- tackling could use work
Divinity- feel like his body needs work. Little on the heavy side. Prob won’t test great
Phillips- making plays outside the tackle box near LOS
Fulton- make up speed
Delpit- finding that fine line between lack of aggressiveness & being over aggressive.
Magee- out of shape

I get your point as it relates to upside. But how much more does he need to develop? Mentally, he’s already on the level of an NFL vet according to everyone who has talked X’s and O’s with him.
I will say that he is probably going to have to get comfortable under-center at some point in a pro offense. But we’ve seen that turn into less and less of a concern in recent years.

It’s funny, I seem to remember him chasing down running backs and receivers from behind an awful lot this past season. If lacks speed, then I guess all those smaller guys he chased down do too.
Same with Jefferson. How many times did he get caught from behind? Were there any? I know there were quite a few in which he torched everyone and outran guys that had good angles on him and would have made plays if he wasn’t as fast as he is.

Fulton speed??? How when he run stride for stride with elite WR last year and this year. Stop it the guy can run. I see him being a 4.4 guy.

You're right. Queen improved dramatically in play recognition since the Ole Miss game.

You do huh? Well I'm very proud of ya!
Why is this "important" unless you're a scout or draft analyst?
