SAAHDIQ CHARLES, OT, LSU: NO. 69On the field, Saahdiq Charles is a tricky evaluation. Take his 10 best plays from every game, it’ll look like Lane Johnson’s film. Take his 10 worst plays and I don't even think he's draftable. I'm not sure there's a more up-and-down player in this class with a wider range of outcomes.
Off the field, Charles is a tricky evaluation. He was suspended for six games in the 2019 championship LSU season for what he called a "selfish and stupid mistake" at the combine, but the exact character of that mistake has been chalked up to a “violation of team rules.” Charles said that his off-field concerns are the first thing that teams which means they are a big deal because there are a lot of questions to ask about his on-field performance as well.
I have Charles as a top-70 player because he not only has starting potential but has high-caliber starting potential. I'm willing to gamble on that range of outcomes, but perhaps I'm only willing to gamble on it because of what I don't know about Charles' background. Meanwhile, players with higher ceilings but worse film (like Boise State's Ezra Cleveland) and lower ceilings but more steady film (like Auburn’s Jack Driscoll) are both ranked below Charles. However, you can't skew for what you don't know. With the limited range of information I have on Charles' projection, he's one of my favorite Round 3 targets.
His interviews at the Combine are going to be .massively important. If he's there at #89, we've got our LG for the next decade.

  • Bleacher Report's Matt Miller reports that there is a "quiet buzz building" that the New York Giants could select Iowa T Tristan Wirfs with the No. 4 overall pick. At this juncture, Miller's intel indicates that Clemson's Isaiah Simmons may have the inside track to land with the Giants. But watch out for Wirfs. Writes the evaluator, "It's notable that around this time last year, the talk of Daniel Jones to the Giants heated up... " Miller notes that the difference this time around, of course, is that both Simmons and Wirfs are exceedingly logical picks for New York. Can't really go wrong either way.

I talked to 2 GMs in last 24 hours and both believe UGA OT Isaiah Wilson will go in the 1st round. That’s too rich for me but it looks like it’s going to happen. Betting on the upside.

I could be wrong, but I suspect Wilson is going to appeal only to power/gap teams. So the earlier he goes, the better for us.

Unlikely, but I heard one scout say that he's got some lower back issues and some sloppiness and standing around on film. So maybe.

This year he showed a lot more effort/nastiness and finished guys when he could.  However, that wasn't the case in previous years...  I read an interview from him recently that said he made it a primary focus to show teams that he cared about football, has an edge, and wasn't lazy this season since his tape from previous years wasn't good in that regard.

Ezra Cleveland is one of the most athletic OTs in this draft class so this should come to no surprise the #Vikings talking to him and showing interest. Would be a good day 2 pick for them.

Cleveland is yet another prospect that the #Vikings are connecting with virtually this week. https://twitter.com/jreidnfl/statu

Sleeper alert: 

Kyle Hinton, Washburn, C

6-2, 295. Played left tackle the last three years. Projects to center in the NFL. 4.8 forty, 34 reps, 34.5 vert. Smart. Probably 7th round. 49ers met with him, so likely a Viking fit as well.

55% of the offensive linemen that made 1st or 2nd Team All-Pro over the past 5 years were drafted AFTER round #1. #development #coaching @JParolin

The HBCUs, as you well know, have a great reputation for supplying NFL talent. This year isn't exceptional but I do like Alex Taylor (6-8 3/8, 306, 36 1/8 arms) the OT from SC State who ran a 5.22 40 at the combine. Basketball player in HS. Still a little raw but has upside.

Replying to @Gil_BrandtHello Mr. Brandt, who's the best hbcu player you have scouted on film for this upcoming draft?
dude is rising up boards quickly, very intriguing

Lucas Niang is a name to watch closely. His tape is good and he has athleticism to go with his size. His hip injury prior to 2019 probably is hurting his stock more than it should. Could be a plug & play starter outside of the top 3 OTs.

Charlotte OT Cameron Clark, one of the more underrated prospects in this class, is receiving significant interest. He’s already had 12 FaceTime meetings with teams that include the #Browns, #Jets, #Bills, #Redskins, #Chiefs, and #Bengals, per source.

Oregon State guard Gus Lavaka might be one of the more unique prospects in the draft: he’s a 26-year-old senior who’d initially signed a letter of intent with Hawai’i in 2012 and arrived at OSU after a LDS mission in Tonga. Source said Lavaka could be a late-round Vikings target.
