Also from Matt Miller on Delpit. Yikes. Also saw a tweet that this dude got his asshole roasted by Duvernay in the Texas game.

2. Faller of the Season: Safety Grant Delpit, LSU

Grant Delpit entered the season as the No. 3 overall player on my watch list after a dominant 2018 season that showed him primed for a big jump. That jump never happened, though, with Delpit failing to make the same impact in his final season in Baton Rouge.
Some LSU contacts have said Delpit dealt with an ankle injury that affected his play last year, but my issues with his tape are more about effort and pursuit angles. And if the ankle injury was bad enough to affect his play, why are his same missed-tackle problems also on the 2018 tape?
There's a lot to unpack here, including the fact that Delpit is a fantastic athlete with surefire NFL potential if he can get back to playing with the tenacity and speed we saw from his sophomore tape. But on grade alone, he's the biggest faller of this year's draft class, with a drop from No. 3 to No. 63 overall.
