Much appreciated.
I'm seeing J.R Reed and Willie Gay sneaking up on lists like this. Tannenbombs and I were talking about both of them recently. For quite a while I thought I was kind of alone in paying attention to those two. I always look for major college sleepers especially from the SEC and elite programs elsewhere. Reed has the length and wingspan that fits the modern game. But he is 2-3 years older than most of these guys, which will lower his stock.
Given that awesome Mississippi State defense of 2018 I kept thinking there had to be somebody who slipped through the cracks as the program imploded in 2019, dropping an incredible 2.2 yards per play defensively from 4.1 to 6.3.. Gay makes the most sense. He was an elite recruit. He seems to be moving up the lists as steadily as anyone. But there are off the field concerns.
Davon Hamilton is another elite program guy I really like and hope the Dolphins can grab. However they don't seem to have a pick in that spacing where Hamilton figures to go.
