I mean he's not even listed in the top 10 remaining on NFL Network. After like the first 40 picks, it seems like a real crapshoot this year

You're right about the "scouts" doing their own blog or Twitter thing not being very good. But when national pundits (ESPN, CBS Sports, etc.) all say something similar, like Lazard late 3rd through 5th in 2018, and Tampa 2nd or 3rd this year, and it doesn't happen, it really sucks.
And it feeds into the sh*ty stuff people like the Iowa fans mentioned earlier in this thread will say about Cyclones.
I'm not talking about "scouts" on blogs. I'm talking about the actual low to mid level NFL scouts talking to media anonymously in the off-season. There are so.e extremely bad takes among that crowd.
Saban has been so good on the little coverage I watched, mostly tonight.
He said it though, it’s what you do after you’re drafted that matters most. Here’s to TJ finding a fit and crushing it next year!

This is some BS. A team is going to get a steal and all the other teams are going to be sorry they passed.

He is fast and athletic but not great in coverage. I hope Tampa doesn't go to Carolina with the 1st pick of round 4. Would love to see him go to the Chargers early round 4.... Actually, the Vikings have a pick early in round 4.
Arizona is killing this draft.
I am in the camp that NFL front office types look at ISU players and still think that the kid could not be that good and if he is, then why is he playing for ISU in Cedar Fall Idaho? They think players like Lazard, Hall and Purdy were flukes and no way could a player that productive be coming out of a small school in the middle of Indiana or is it Idaho, wherever ISU is located. In other words, our players do not get the free pass that gets them into the discussion like players from UT, OU or even EIU. The only way to change that is keep producing quality NFL products year after year and prove them wrong.
Take Worthy who the Chiefs took in the first round, no way he gets picked that high if he had played at ISU instead of UT. They would look at his size and discount his breakaway speed and therefore downgrade him. Tampa is going to be a very good pro player and have a nice 10 year career, you just have to give him his shot.

Disagree. Scouting at the NFL level is tasked with identifying talent, period. Millions of dollars are spent in that pursuit. To think that all of the teams would fall victim to such an obvious oversight is pretty ludicrous. It's also belied by the fact that the first cornerback taken in this year's draft was from a MAC school.
