He's the 8th rank player according to a few websites.
I'd bet you all the rice in China that he's not in the Top 10 overall on any NFL team's draft board.
Several teams, including the Chiefs, tend to shy away from underclassmen O-linemen. There was an article floating around last year about how NFL teams are looking for guys who have at least 45-50 starts in college, and how guys that don't typically don't succeed in the league. I'll try to find it.
Clady had 37 starts at Boise St, and only 26 of those were actually at LT.
Also, whether people like it or not, he played for Boise ****ing State.
That's wouldn't be that big of a deal had he DOMINATED at Boise State.
He didn't.
Jake Long gets shit on this board for giving up ONE sack, and it was to a guy who's universally a Top 5-6 pick.
Clady was less than dominant against ridiculously inferior competition.
How anyone thinks taking a guy at the 5th pick overall who can't handle those HUGE stars from the likes of Hawaii, Louisiana Tech and New Mexico State is getting value at our pick is baffling to me.
