I just don’t understand the hype behind Malik Willis. Every game I’ve watched him in against decent competition he’s been average at best

5th-6th is normal for a kicker unless they are all world.

I’m not counting Seabass because the Raiders were nuts but I think Daniel Sepulvida went in the 3rd or 4th as a punter.

Edit - 4th round, about 112th overall

That's a travesty. Should be the first punter off the board.

Same.

Mocks have the Falcons taking him in the 2nd round. Fontenot should be fired on the spot if he makes that pick.

Lot of oof in those rankings. Most obvious one is not having Burks and Williams as the top 2 receivers.

If he can improve his game in the pass receiving area he can really blow up. I can't wait to watch him in the league.

Would like to hear what the USC posters think of Drake London, I’ve barely watched any SC games the last couple years.

Looks like he eats corners alive on 50-50 balls.

He's great, but he did fracture his ankle

Willis is another QB who can make elite NFL plays but just is way too inconsistent.

When Sam Darnold was at USC, he would make some amazing Aaron Rodgers level throws, he made a couple in the Rose Bowl, and the Jets overlooked his inconsistency to pick him way too high at 3rd.

Willis can make the throws and run the ball like Josh Allen but odds are that he'll be just another guy who flashes but can never put it together because he's too inconsistent. And obviously because he's a QB some team is probably going to overpay for him.
