I see Brule' going 1st before anyone else.
We will end up with 2 1st rounders and 3 2nd rounders on our way to the Natty.
Cross likely wont go Top 5- but he can certainly end up a 1st round pick. I love Brule but he isnt going 1st round. We will absolutely have more draft picks in 2022 than we did this past season.
We are going to end up with one real season of Cross which is sad
Given that we have multiple 1st round DL recently, yet still can't land top in state DL prospects, I don't put much stock in the recruiting pitch angle. Maybe if Cross was a low 3* and we developed him into a 1st rounder we could sell it more.... but then again, we developed several NFL OL and they don't seem to help in recruiting either.
If our Oline actually understands the blocking scheme then we should win 7. Saying that, I assume 6 wins. Cross can certainly be in that top 5-10 range. If you are the best LT in the SEC then you are more than likely the best in the country. He definitely has the athleticism that the NFL looks for in a LT.
What has he shown on the field to be this high on any draft board? I remember seeing him this high on someone's board even a year ago. I get the talent and potential standpoint but from what I've seen thus far on the field I don't see top 5. Heck I don't see 1st round. I hope he gets there.
How big is Cross now?
He's 6' 7" and has been in multiple SEC systems. He was passed over by better talent at Bama and had to learn how to block in the Air Raid in year 1 with us. If he grades out well this year someone will draft him. He's got skill but his poor decision on the front end to go to Bama is costing him in the long run.
