2027 Watch List

[DaBruinz]

After Kyle Monangai (Rutgers) did so well adapting to the NFL quickly, I know I'm going to be an Antwan Raymond fan. One of the best graded pass blockers among returning RBs and had over 1200 yards on the ground.

Reminds me of Achane with the way he escapes people. Doesn't have Achane's speed, but very elusive.. And the vision is obvious.

He seems to run a tad upright. In those vids, when he was running, he didn't try to run through people. The one play where he had a wide open hole that #3 of A&M filled, Fletcher chose to run around him rather than through him despite the obvious size advantage. Definitely need to watch more on him..

He’s not the fastest or most agile but he’s very reliable and put Miami’s offense on his back in the playoffs.

The speed definitely reminds me of Rhamandre. He actually seems to have really good agility.. Like I said, he just seems to run a tad upright and doesn't seem to use his size to go through people. I mentioned watching more specifically to see if it was a one off or not.

I don't agree with everything (Julian Sayin, Ty Benefield, Jelani McDonald, PJ Williams and Carter Smith too low, Tae Johnson too high), but overall this is about as reasonable a board as you could expect 11 months out.

If the draft roughly followed this board, I'd probably do:

1. LB: Kyngstonn Viliamu-asa or Sammy Brown. If any of Ellis Robinson or the top 4 DTs were available, they would merit serious consideration.

2. OL: Jacarrius Peak, Carter Smith, PJ Williams, Greg Johnson. Austin Siereveld if he slips. Maybe Brandon Baker.

3. S: Jelani McDonald or Ty Benefield. Koi Perich or Zach Lutmer if they slip.

Thank you for explaining your joke. Clearly I'm not a Mensah member.

I'm going to be very focused on Clemson and Notre Dame this year. Both have two players playing the same positions that I like a lot. The contrast will be interesting to watch.

Clemson

Will Heldt (EDGE) and Sammy Brown (LB)

Notre Dame

Boubacar Traore (EDGE) and Kynggston Viliamu-Asa (LB)

If you were to ask me who my favourite edge and LB prospects are right now, all four would be on the list.
