One of the draft's most intriguing players: NC State LB Payton Wilson. 'You’ve gotta expect that he’s only playing one contract. Anything you get more than that is a bonus. The kid plays like his hair’s on fire. I think if San Francisco drafts him, he’ll get 150 tackles in that

Brock Bowers could go Top 10. He's a fascinating eval for the NFL, getting comped from Evan Engram to 'More like a Sterling Sharpe. But, back then, you didn’t see all these kinds of defenses like you do now.'
Here's what else we heard from NFL coaches & scouts:

'Nabers is the No. 1 on my list and I think he is on a lot of people’s lists. He’s just different to me. I don’t think it’s anything toward Marvin, it’s just really that Nabers is THAT good. His skills with the ball in his hands are really different...He’s rare in a lot of ways.'
