I agree to a point, a valid example would be Orlando Brown last year, he definitely had worse athletic measurables. 

Not saying Greg Little is garbage, but he had such big hype as a 5-star athlete and he underperformed. Orlando Brown to his credit had a very good tape and he gets to be in an offense where he's not in too many pass-sets with Lamar as QB and gets to be a mauling OT.

I'm not a huge fan of Rashan Gary but at least he has otherworldly athleticism despite his disappointing tape. So his hype as a first-round projection is justifiable. Greg Little is just meh on tape and athleticism. He's living off of his high school hype. Hurney 1.0 took a guy Jimmy Clausen that basically lived off of his high school hype despite underperforming at Notre Dame. I hope Hurney 2.0 can learn from that mistake.

When Greg Little gets taken in the first round, it's going to be fun times on this board ;)

If he does so what?? You want a cookie?? It doesn't change the fact that most if not everybody has him rated after the 1st round.. If 1 dumb team becomes desperate and takes him .. Doesn't mean he was rated anywhere close to the top 4 on the list..

Difference is while both were not great athlete.

Little has carried a reputation of being lazy.  Dude was hands down top kid out of high school.  Had all the tools and had scouts drooling after his Freshman year but it began to get stale.  Much like the Nkemdiche the DL who came out of there a few years back, who people were still higher on than Little

Trying not to doubt your source but there are plenty of analysts out there who also have their "sources" around the league who are saying he is a day 2 guy, with maybe a OT hungry teams reaching at the tail end of the first to grab him.

 

Grabbing him in the 1st would be equivalent to the Everett Brown pick minus giving up the 1st due to a complete reach on a guy who may be available in the 2nd just because its One of your positions of need
