Brugler began with Alabama center Landon Dickerson, whom he has ranked 21st. But the consensus board has Dickerson averaged 34th overall.


I just can't quit Landon Dickerson, who is easily one of my favorite players in the class. His combination of power, quickness and competitiveness is outstanding and why he has Pro Bowl potential at either center or guard. His injury history is tough and makes it tough to accurately rank him. But in the late first or early second, he would be a bargain.


Brugler also has a varying opinion on Washington edge rusher Joe Tryon, who is ranked 34th on his board. Other experts, meanwhile, average Tryon at No. 53 overall.


Tryon put intriguing flashes on his 2019 film and led the Huskies in tackles for loss (12.5) and sacks (8.0). He opted out of 2020, but the intrigue is still there, especially with his raw traits. At 6-5, 260 pounds with 34-inch arms, he ran a 4.65 40-yard dash with a 7.18 three-cone and posted numbers very similar to Marcus Davenport, who was a top-15 pick in the 2018 draft. Davenport hasn't lived up to his draft spot, but that won't stop NFL teams from betting on intriguing traits, especially at pass rusher. There will be several teams in the back half of Round 1 that consider Tryon.


While Brugler is higher on those two players than most, he's also lower on some prospects than the consensus big board.
