Alright so for this concept or exercise it means putting your board out there and not hiding behind others or being able to use hindsight in a years time to claim a "told you so" type crap we see a lot.

These are 5 guys that I whole heartedly disagree with the consensus board on, by more than 20 spots minimum.


Ted Hurst WR Georgia State (Consensus Board 69) - Tyni's Board 41

This man has it all IMO and is possibly one of the most complete "X" receivers in this draft. If he'd even went to a school like Memphis or similar he'd be getting Day1 nods and in truth I wouldn't be shocked if he slides into being picked Day 1 really. His catch point is awesome, pro-level vertical speed, route running I think is for sure above average for a rookie and has man beating capabilities for days. Understands leverage and setting up defenders - understands blocking is part of the role too. He is everything we could ask for to come in for a rookie and eat up some Wicks/Doubs vacated snaps and allow Golden/Reed to work out of the slot when needed.

Dani Dennis-Sutton Edge Penn State (Consensus Board 72) - Tyni's Board 29

Yes you did not misread that. I am VERY high on DDS, VERY. He has barely ever missed time, has a motor for days and his consistency against the run while also being able to read and react to pass situations and make plays/pressures is special. The amount of times he turns pressures into sacks is crazy and his win percentage of nearly 16% on true pass rush snaps is awesome. IMO he instantly becomes our 3rd best edge fighting Sorrell likely for that role. 9.93 RAS score, 10+inch hands, 33.38 arm length, 6'5' 256lbs and explosive testing nearly 10.00 graded...he is awesome. Watch his film and you see a mature edge that absolutely is NFL ready IMO. Do I envision him being a Parsons or All Pro level dude, eh maybe...but what I see is a guy that after his rookie contract might have averaged giving you 7-8 sacks a year, solid play all the time and you win games with worst case.

Ephesians Prysock CB Washington (Consensus Board 142) - Tyni's Board 104

Everyone knows in years past I said watch out for Tacario Davis (the other Washington CB) but man Prysock is also the prototype for what GB wants typically 6'3' 196lbs, ran 4.45 jumped great and landed at a 9.9 RAS score. With Davis across from him he saw a fair amount of targets and typically won out - despite Washington having some rough patches in 2025. His hips are fluid, change of direction is nice and so long as he keeps his head positioning right he typically has the intelligence to read and digest and attack excellently. While others say Davis will come off first and likely 20-40 picks before Prysock, I argue this to be a mistake to whatever team does that. Prysock and Masses (Cali CB) are two corners that I would love to nab.

Sam Roush TE Stanford (Consensus 108) - Tyni's Board 72

Ask me who the most gifted and weapon type TE there is I'm saying Sadiq and Stowers for sure...but ask me who is the most complete TE, zero hesitation when I say Roush. He is a guy that you flip on the film you just see a man amongst young men or boys on film. His RAS was through the roof, but it's his film and the fact that at Stanford he was still as productive as he was is a testament to the player he is. 6'6 267lbs who can block and run (4.70). Talk about the PERFECT pairing opisite of Kraft....won't happen but I'll just say this I pray he goes to the NFC because I want very limited times we have to play him.

Aamil Wagner OT Notre Dame (Consensus 210) - Tyni's Board 145 (132 now in latest update)

Aamil has zero business seeing consensus essentially say he is towards end of 6th round. He is 6'5' 306lbs with 34.5 inch arms and a ton of high level experience in college at ND. I envision he could excel at guard or be a reserve Tackle his very first year. 8.92 RAS...I think he is a starter in the NFL by year three of his rookie contract without a doubt, somewhere.

Those are five for me. Who you got?!?!

I really think the Dentist could be our pick at 52. It all depends on where LVN plays. I think he may move up and play DE. He started the NFL at 272 and he has put on a few pounds, I think. 280 or more seems like he would be on of the largest OLBs in captivity. But he would be on the small side for DE in a 3-4.

Good Stuff @tynimiller


Safety, V.J. Payne.
I see he’s risen to a top 150 selection and Squeaking into late RD4 in many mocks and getting the respect he deserved. I still think Payne is underestimated in RD5 and closer to that Evan Williams area (#111). So what I’m reading on him is he needs to have the right fit fur his style of play, that’s what’s keeping him out if Day 2 type consideration.
He’s got superior Length but what’s going to intrigue a suitor is at his size he still has lateral (6.92 3-cone) and vertical (35”) crossed with a 81” Wingspan and a blazing 4.40 in the open field. Plus A 1.52 sec 10-yard is ideal for tracking athletic TE’s and he’s great size at 206lb. If he’s put in the right system, he’s a good starting Safety with Elite size and speed.
Medium-Low Floor
High Ceiling (if used properly)

RB, Eli Heidenrich
Highly underestimated, Dual threat player. Several drafts ago I called Tyrone Tracy as a strong prospect who would exceed draft grade. In hindsight he is an easy Day 2 quality RB. At the time the bulk of interactive Mocks (PFF, Consensus, ESPN, etc) had him RD5-6 area. While don’t think Heidenreich is exactly that, I don’t think he’s far behind. Eli very quietly logged 1,440 yards and 9 TD’s in his 3rd season with Navy. Yet it’s how dynamic he went about it. He was a highlight reel at 17.8 per reception on a Team that has been steadily rising along with its American Conference, and right into a #23 National ranking. So he’s performing at near elite play against what’s now a a ranked College program. Just 1 opponent that throughly handled Navy was #10 ranked Notre Dame, where Eli rushed
1 X 15.0 yards. 2 catches for 20.0 against the Nations #11 ranked Defense

OG, Beau Stephens
Ok.. Let’s get his biggest flaw out of the way, he had 31.2” arms (6% tile). RAS was 7.74, so not great but nothing alarming. Yet he finished as the Coaches pick for best ranked interior OL in the Big 10 Conference. He also gathers an AP 1st team All-American label and was the cornerstone for his OL Winning the Jim Moore Award (w/Logan Jones and Jennings Dunker) Imo you could draft him in RD4 and feel completely good about him. I think had he length to play Tackle he’s easily Day 2 value. Also PFF had Beau as the highest rated Guard in Power 4 ball.

PS. He’d be perfect to replace Banks at cheap $ in 2027 if Banks doesn’t improve. Beau fits with what we are moving towards, with good size. 6’5.4” 315lb. I’d be good selecting Beau at #120 overall and emphatic by #153.

One guy I think is under valued is C Matt Gulbin-Michigan St

Consistently see him rated in the 160-180 on Big Boards, and mocked late 5th or 6th Rd. I feel he should be a 4th Rd guy all day.

He didn't test well, so has a RAS under 4, however...

He was the 2nd rated Run blocking Center by PFF in 2025, his 1st year playing the position full time

Only gave up 2 sacks last year, and 5 total pressures, on 405 pass blocking snaps.

Versatile, has 11 starts at RG, 11 at LG, (Both seasons at Wake Forest) and 12 at C (Michigan St)

Sign me up for a guy that can play 3 positions.
