1. Grant Delpit, LSU 6-3, 203 (1)
Why He’s Here On The List: He’ll get dogged a bit for being overhyped – he wasn’t even the best defensive back on his own team last year, much less strong enough to be the Thorpe winner – but he was still terrific. A very big, very good three-year producer who did just about everything right, he’s more of a football talent than a workout warrior. But …
What The NFL Types Want To See: His workout has to be close. He’s not going to blow anyone away with his raw wheels, and he’s not going to be silky smooth, but as long has he doesn’t standout in a negative way, he’ll be fine.
Bottom Line: There are concerns. He’s a volume tackler, but he’s not an intimidating blowup type against the run. He’ll make a whole lot of plays when the ball is in the air, but he’ll have to be surrounded by speed. He’ll miss tackles and make plays down the field, but he’ll sniff out big plays in key moments. Don’t overthink this, though – he’s simply a great football player.
