Want to see another (uniformed, unknowledgeable) mock?
Yea, both Bonitto and Parham fall down to the area's in almost every mock I run on PFF.
FWIW - Chris Simms (who I really like his evaluation) has Bonitto as the 5th best DE and rated as a late first rounder. Says he has the best pure pass rushing skills as J. Johnson II from Florida State. He said he could have Kalil Mack type impact - wow! On the flip side he doesn't have the Oregon DE (Thib...) in his Top 6 at DE, which is another wow.

Bonitto would be a fantastic 2nd round pick. All he knows how to do is rush the passer, but he's damn good at that.
There are scouts who think that Thibodeaux is all about himself, his brand, and that he's way overrated. Sounds like there's almost no chance Detroit will take him, so he could fall a bit.
Interestingly, Simms said similar things about Stingley. He didn't rank him in his top 5 corners. Regarding DSJ it wasn't so much about ego, but effort. I typically hate high bust factor players, because when you think about it, HALF of all these 1st rounders will be busts, or at least disappoint the team that drafts them. Something to keep in mind. But I'll admit, Stingley is a hard one to get over.
