I thought about both of them in making that statement. Fehoko looks very good to me but he's class of 2018.
Kaden Smith is also very highly rated, and should prove good if his knees recover. But, generally tight ends aren't threats to score from anywhere on the field the way that McCaffrey, Love, and good WRs are. Still extremely valuable, but a different value.
Quote:I assume you are talking about Robinson as the super-highly ranked guy. But also, in addition to Butler, Pryts, Williams, and Eboh are all pretty highly regarded. Hard to be too disappointed here.
I'm not disappointed, but the statement still holds.
Robinson looks very impressive, not hard to see why he's highly rated.
247 composite rankings of our defensive guys:
Robinson - #70 overall, #6 OLB
Butler - #230 overall, #21 CB
no one else in top 300
Pryts is the one guy whom it sounds to me like the coaches think is really better than his ranking. Williams is strong at a position of extreme need, but his potential isn't as obviously high as someone like Solomon Thomas.

I don't know if you are really disagreeing with my comments or not. I don't think you would just say every position is the absolute most wonderful as can be. Those were some thoughts about what were stronger and less strong aspects of the class.
I guess I could also have written about issues of ILBs, but I thought that has already been thoroughly covered.
