Teams that are smarter and able to adapt are going come out this draft making a killing, especially in the late rounds. These teams will take advantage of less prepared/organized teams. MM is a detail freak.....so we will NOT be one of those unprepared teams IMO.

PROSPECTS HURT BY OUR CURRENT SITUATION
Of course, there are specific players who now find themselves swimming upstream against the issues created by the cancellation of pro days, private workouts and 30 visits. One such group would be the draftable players who weren’t invited to the combine. Not having a neutral physical that every team can access will be a problem for some of them, not having testing numbers will create issues for others. For some, it might mean going undrafted.
Some of the bigger names will feel the pinch too. Here are a few….
Kentucky WR/Everything Lynn Bowden: A do-it-all player who filled in at quarterback last year at Kentucky, Bowden projects as a receiver in the NFL. But since he was used mostly in a gadget role in college, private workouts and a pro day would’ve been important to show how he fits in specific places as a pro. And he also didn’t run the 40 in Indy, which makes drafting him as an “athlete” a little more problematic.
Chaisson (18) led LSU with 6.5 sacks as a junior.

LSU DE K’Lavon Chaisson: Chaisson, known as a raw player with a ton of potential to grow, chose not to work out in Indy. So he won’t get a chance to put numbers to the athleticism that’s his calling card.
Mississippi State CB Cameron Dantzler: A lanky and long corner, Dantzler’s big 2019 season intrigued NFL folks. Then he ran a 4.64 in the 40 at the combine. And he won’t have a pro day to make up for it.
LSU S Grant Delpit: Considered a sure-fire top 10 pick coming into 2020, a season marked with inconsistent play and shaky tackling has Delpit fighting to get anywhere close to that now. So he’ll have less of a chance to answer for that. Plus, he didn’t run in Indy
