I haven’t seen any NFL draft projections. Do you think that George Selvie will go higher or lower than he would have a year ago?

KoozeeKingdom:
Considering Selvie appeared to be a first-round pick after last season, I think he’ll definitely go lower in the draft than he would have a year ago. He’ll still get drafted, but if I had to guess, late second, early third round at earliest.
According to most projections I’ve seen, Jason Pierre-Paul is ranked the higher prospect now and is likely a late first round, early second round pick if he comes out.
We’ll see.
