Bust predictions

Both of the LSU "DEs" unless they're able to successfully convert to OLB. It's not an automatic transfer from undersized college DE to NFL 3-4 OLB. If they can't learn to cover and do all the stuff OLBs do they'll be worthless in the NFL.

I think both are potentially busts but for Montgomery, he has NFL DE size. He's def built like one. Mingo on the other hand will def need to be a 34 OLB. That man is a stick.

To be honest I haven't watched much on either this year, neither of them interest me, but I saw a lot of them while researching Brockers last year and unless he's put on a lot of weight since last year he's got a ways to go to be DE size. I haven't seen either listed higher than about 245 which is minuscule for a DE. I have more faith in guys like Clowney and Dion Jordan (who are listed around the same weight) because they're closer to 6'6 or so if memory serves me. Montgomery is like 6'4 or shorter if I remember correctly, so not only does his frame not have as much room to add weight as the other two guys, he won't have the reach to help him out either. I remember when Michael Johnson (Bengals) was coming out, he was built kinda like Jordan and raw as hell but he's turned into a pretty solid pass rusher. I was kinda hoping we'd spend a third or fourth on him at the time. It's taken a few years for him to get there though. When starting from such an obvious handicap like being >245 lbs or lighter and not having at least above average length, that's too risky IMO :)

Edit: I was just perusing Kiper's mock and he has Montgomery at 260. If that's right, I'll downgrade my major concern about him to a minor concern.

I'm trolling.

But in all seriousness Warmack isn't the most NFL ready OG you've ever seen. We go through this song and dance every year because OG is such an easy position to hit on meaning inferior minds can look at his YouTube highlights and be like "wow, brah he made that dude fall over he good."

Decastro was a better overall prospect just last year.

Decastro didnt play in the toughest conference in college football either so he wasnt really going up against NFL caliber talent every week.
