Nice job. Definitely agree that Mathis is underrated. This edge class is just historically good; there are prospects who will go in the 2nd or 3rd this year who might get 1st round buzz in other years. I know @BaconGrundleCandy has talked up Mathis numerous times, but he was the only one I saw talking about him for quite some time. Totally flying under the radar for now. It all comes down to the medical, now.

Late 2nd-/early 3rd-round for Mathis? I don't know about that one.

All depends on medicals, testing, and supply and demand. If he had stayed healthy all year, he would be in the same conversation as a late 1st / early 2nd edge threat, right alongside McKinley and Williams. Talented player. Very physical. Could be a target from our Collin's 3rd pick onward as a discount special.
