I find some 2018 Draft “snubs“ a bit shocking.
Most of all of course the return of all Clemson star D-line. From the business side I can't understand this at all. Wilkins was almost unanimous top DT of this draft class and by returning he immediately falls to #2 at best. He was considered as top 10 pick and he'll have to have another monster season w/o injuries to reach that in stronger 2019 class.
Similar with Ferrell climbing all season to the first half of 1st rd possibly going first edge after Chubb and now already finds himself behind Bosa and Gary at least for 2019 with some other strong, big, versatile sophomores. Even Bryant, despite lack of experience is a surprise and possibly costly return. What is this? Some fraternity thing? Im always happy to see things are not only about money but this was quite a shock.
These decisions - along w some others - could considerably hit Pats draft as well. Payne - possibly my favourite 1st rd option - will now definitely be out of reach, this board favourite Vita Vea as well, as will Hubbard.
Surprises or decisions that will affect draft order and Pats options:
QB: Stidham, Thorson, Finley
RB: Harris, Love
WR: Campbell, Sills, Samuel
DL: Wilkins, Dre'Mont Jones, Russel
DE: Ferrell, Bryant, Gustin
OL: Adams, Hyatt
