The more I watch Fuller play, the more I think he's special. He just gets open and is so functionally fast it's unfair to whoever guards him. Drops and body catches be damned

Kickers and punters down?

Those two rankings are particularly interesting to me. I am NOT a person that thinks anyone with a differing opinion should be punished/criticized, but I wish I knew the reason for the Beavers/Robinson rankings.

Beavers barely breaks the top 15 OT's in this draft according to most sources. There is at least one entire tier(Ifedi/Spriggs/Coleman/Clark) that most people project higher than Beavers by almost everyone.

Conversely, it seems like Robinson is ranked as the top DT in the draft by almost everyone. Yeah, this draft is supposed to be loaded at DT's and a half dozen of them could go in the first round, but I was just curious if anyone had heard Mayock explain why his ranking of Robinson is so much lower.

Admittedly, I don't watch ESPN/NFL Network/ETC so Mayock may have already explained why he has differing opinions on certain players. Just curious if those two rankings(or any others) stood out to anyone else.

Mayock starting to make the rounds and leak out takes on some players.

Lance Zierlein pulls back the curtain and tells you how influential a player's agent can be during the NFL Draft process.

NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock joins the show to talk where Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones and Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg rank among draft-eligible signal callers.

Finally, Lance breaks down Indiana running back Jordan Howard, Notre Dame left tackle Ronnie Stanley and Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner in "Making the Grade."

He's really marrying himself to Wentz. Has been since the Senior Bowl.
