EXPLANATION OF OTHER TERMS
BUST ALERT!!! A player highly ranked by many others but one I do hold in the same regard. Also, this term will be used for players who I call "ONE YEAR WONDERS" these players are either freakish athletes or players who had one season that FAR exceeded their previous production creating serious risk. This term will be reserved for 1st round projections where mistakes can cripple a franchise.
OVERRATED ALERT!!! Similar to the above but not as extreme, for after 1st/2nd rounds.. Players are not as highly rated so mistakes while still important do not carry the same weight. There are multiple reasons for this designation some but not limited to character, talent, injuries, college scheme or system.
UNDERRATED ALERT!!! Players I feel deserve a higher ranking than many/most other so called experts. These players in the future will be referred to as "STEALS" but I want it known my evaluation were on point when they were drafted.
SLEEPER ALERT!!!! A player that perhaps played in a poor scheme for his talents, suffered from poor coaching, revolving door coaching, poor supporting cast but has shown flashes that can lead him to success in the proper environment.
POSITION CHANGE ALERT!!! These are players who I feel due primarily to their skill set or more rarely at times measurables will reach their maximum level of NFL success by changing from their primary College position.
CHARACTER ALERT!!! This designation is reserved for players who have had multiple issues concerning there character. This can be legal issues, multiple transfers, poor practice habits, friction with teammates and/or Coaches, Academic issues and or any other infraction that brings into question the players decision making. Teams must weigh the risk/reward related to these players VERY CAREFULLY!!
INJURY ALERT!!!! A player with serious injury concerns, medicals vital. Possibly multiple injuries while in college or one severe injury. Also could have a long history in College and even perhaps High School "Injury Prone" is the common term. If you are missing time on the field you are costing your team $$$$
2025 LEFT TACKLE OVERVIEW
No real complete LT's available this season. Campbell has that ability but is not consistent enough to warrant the Top 10, Simmons, my other 1st rounder is coming of a serious knee injury and may not be at 100% next season but is very athletic and just starting to realize how good he could be. A couple players most will have in the 1st round, Banks, Membou can get paid well and have a career here but in my opinion, they are Guards, and I ranked them there. I said the exact same thing about Jedrick Wills several years ago, I was right, as I will be this year. After the top 2 everyone has some holes, some see Millum at Guard, Conerly has consistency issues, Nelson is full of unrealized potential, Brown has shown flashes, Richman is underrated and very well coached. After that they are all projects and likely Back-ups or swing OL. Lundt and Grant are interesting small school prospects who with patience could surprise.

2025 RIGHT TACKLE OVERVIEW
A decent class of pure RT's. The top 2 Ersery, Belton definitely have long term starter potential, but NOT at LT where some idiot GM will try to stuff them. After that Jones and Corneilius both have starter ability but need some work, Truss and Trapillo need more work and are less athletic. Out of the remaining players, Pierce, Kight and Travis show the highest "sleeper" potential, both athletic, long and strong. The rest will have to work their way up from the bench.

2025 GUARD OVERVIEW
This class has the potential to be the best Guard class in many years. The question is, will NFL execs be smart enough to realize that Banks and Membou have the talent to be ALL-PRO guards or do they want to force them to be average/decent OT's. History is not on these player's side. Without those two in the Class grade drops to a B. Jackson, a multi-year starter has been consistent, very athletic, great size and strength and unselfishly played most of this past season at LT due to injury and was excellent there, Still Guard is his home. After that, I see at least 6 players who can be NFL starters sooner rather than later. Booker and Savaiinaea have all the tools, Gray could move inside to Center, Frazier is well coached, Williams is another OT that needs to move inside, Ratledge and Dellinger need some work. Then we have an interesting small school stud (Zabel) and several players who could develop into starters, Huber, Colby, Conner are potential "sleepers"

2025 CENTER OVERVIEW
Depending on where they land my top 3 can all be 1st year starters, Monheim is the clear #1, McLaughlin will be hindered by injury rehab and may well slip and few rounds, Mays is a multi-year starter. After them, all of the rest will have to play wherever inside to get on the field, Kendall, Majors, Wilson and Cox all have starter ability but need work. And I just have a hunch that Lampkin may end up as a FB in Pittsburgh!
