So how come you have Raji ranked so low?

I dont think his character is too big of a concern. hes not Vontae Davis. But I tend to agree that Raji is a bit overrated right now. I think the most underrated guy on most guys boards right now is Larry English. I dont have him in my top 20 but he is close along with Clint Sintim.

He may have matured a lot his senior year - I don't know. cbssportsline.com has the most in depth analysis of the players and they have things like "his former coaching staff says he is the laziest player on the team" and that he doesn't work hard in the weight room or practice, etc. He played next to a guy that goes 330 and is projected in the late 2nd - 3rd round. I wonder how much Raji dominated just by the sheer size of both DT's rather than hard work which is what he'll need in the NFL.

Let me say this...I feel like Ron Brace will end up being a better player in the long run than BJ Raji. I dont think he is worth #3 overall and I dont think Pioli and Haley feel that way either. Ron Brace is actually a better fit as a 3-4 NT than Raji is. One of these guys will end up being a bust, the other will be very good. One of them made the other and I think that guy is Ron brace.

I don't know much about Raji, but I did watch him play in the bowl game vs Vanderbilt and he dominated parts of the game. I thought he was really quick for being that big. I really don't know much about him beyond that.

He's a defensive tackle. Comments like that are a HUGE red flag.

Did Ryan Sims re-enter the draft this year? Sounds like a blueprint from his lazy ass riding Peppers coattails.

Not bad. I think Moreno might be a bit high.
