No no no no way. I hear you. But no way.

If Downs is better than Styles I'll just give up on ever being excited about football.

Daniel Jeremiah (NFL.com) had Styles ranked as the top defensive player. Here is his assessment:
"Rank
3
Sonny Styles
Ohio State · LB · Senior
Styles is a tall, long and rangy linebacker prospect. He made a smooth transition from safety to linebacker during his college career and put on an epic display at the NFL Scouting Combine. In the run game, he’s quick to key, read and fill to make tackles. He uses his length to press off blocks and has outstanding lateral range to pick up production on the perimeter. He’s a firm, reliable tackler with stopping power on contact. Styles is outstanding in coverage. He can carry slot receivers down the seam and smoothly mirrors tight ends all over the field. He’s an explosive blitzer and will run over running backs who try to block him in pass pro. Styles’ performance in the Big Ten title game against Indiana answered any questions about his game, as he was the best defender on the field in that matchup. He reminds me of Fred Warner as a player. It's hard to find prospects with Styles' combination of speed, athleticism and instincts."

Bain is sliding and it is a sin.

And to someone’s point, no one ranked Jamin Davis this high.

I think he is either going to completely dominate or just be a JAG. No in between. If he's a dominator whoever picks him has an A draft.

[punch it in]

He has a motor and a half.

Bain feels like the kind of guy that somehow slips to the Ravens and is a stud. They always seem to manage that.

I hate when NFCE teams do well in the draft -- NYG fans must be happy, and Dallas fans should be as well. And that never makes me happy.

Side note on Styles, dad played in the nfl. Dude is going to be a professional on day one.

[punch it in]

Wow. No draft is ever even close to what you think.

Definitely glad Ravens are an AFC team in terms of the draft.
