    ...concede that Larkey is ahead for now. The galling part of the 'ranking' (and the reason Larkey was first raised, as he is appropriately rated at #2) is that Lewis isn't even listed in the top 10 (for either talls or forwards) at all. Given the similarities to Larkey in the above comparison...

    Yeah, saw a tweet from a Ravens beat writer to that effect yesterday. Although considering that I'm pretty sure CBS considers Harlan/Green to be their #3 commentary team (Nantz/Romo are obviously #1, Eagle/Davis are apparently #2) I guess it still means that CBS doesn't rate Ravens games 😅

    ...values for picks get re-calculated on draft night after each matched F/S and Academy pick? i.e. When Daicos gets called out (likely at pick #2), and Pies lose a bunch of picks, our pick 64 will come in a ways. Does it stay at 101 points value, or is that immediately recalculated based on...

    The reality is if they kept Pick #2 they could likely be adding Callaghan (at Pick #2) and Daicos (with a bid coming at Pick #3). Instead, they're only getting Daicos.

    ...a great example, he was pick #4, kicked 21 goals in League and looked the most ready of all KPF prospects but showed less than Thilthorpe (pick #2) and Treacy (a rookie pick) last year. JUH was pick #1 and has shown less again so far. In the long run I highly doubt it will end up that way though.
