College football week seven scouting notes: Why draft media is having a bad year – Seahawks Draft Blog

Us Brits should stick together. I agree with Rob. I think Ty Simpson is the best QB in this draft. Mendoza is a bit Spencer Rattler and Dante Moore shows promise but lacks experience.

Also, Jayden Maiava at USC is sneakily putting together a really good season and I think he'll rise into first round consideration. Big game for him this weekend against Notre Dame.

Ian Cummings and James Foster both currently have top 50 grades on Mateen Igbirogba. Cummings apparently has him ahead of David Bailey on his board.

FEIW, this was Ian Cumming's horizontal big board for last year:



He had very high rankings for Bradyn Swinson, and Damon Martinez.
