I reached out to a friend who works for an NFL team about what he's hearing about Tiger draft prospects. I'll have a story with some draft analysts breakdowns of Armand Membou and Luther Burden tomorrow, but here's what he said about everyone.
Membou
"I think a lot of teams like Membou as a 1st/2nd round guy ... people are going to value OL/DL so much in the next draft because of the Super Bowl. Best OL in the league winning over a team that had OL issues. And since teams have freaks at DL now, they need athletes at OL to counter. Right now, he's a top prospect at guard."
Burden
"Probably mid-1st round, but has some questions about mentality. We'll see how that affects him." Compared him to George Pickens, big, big talent, but could cause issues.
Johnny Walker
"Walker may be a day 3 guy, looks like he had a good all-star game week."
Theo Wease
"Wease may be a UDFA, both he and Walker had good interviews with our scouts."
