It’s all good. I respect fans that hype up our players. So I didn’t take it personally.
But if he did an unbiased look at the DE’s drafted in the top 15 over the last 5 years he’d see no one at Lightfoots size was selected. The BEST comp in the top 15 based on measurables would be Will Anderson Jr and Lightfoot is no where near him as a prospect.
There have only been 13 Ends drafted in the top 15 during that time. Average size is 6’4 260 lbs.
Reuben Bain just went 15th overall and he’s the best talent we’ve had on D in the last decade.
Lightfoot projects as a situational pass rusher in the NFL. Very good player in college but he’s not on the same level at Stewart or Simmons.
Will McDonald
He was 239 in Indy at 6’3 5/8. I would expect Marquise to be in that 238-242 range when it’s all said and done and literally in the same 6’3.5-6’4 height range as well.
I agree with you though for most part. He isn’t a top 15 pick, at least not yet. I don’t think it’s farfetched for him to get there though BUT he’d need to come back and continue his trajectory IMO.
