Lance Zierlein · Mar 1, 2025

Zierlein said Kansas State's Jacob Parrish helped himself with his testing and will be a second-round cornerback, put South Carolina safety Nick Emnori inside the top 16 after his workout, pegged Mason Taylor as the third tight end off the board and possibly a first-rounder, and called Alabama's Robbie Oots a future NFL fullback who will be on a roster.

He'll be a second round cornerback in this draft.

  • Now he is an NFL fallback. He'll be he'll be on a team, and he'll probably get pretty good reps as an NFL fullback.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • he can't get past the middle of the draft, Like it's just he's not getting to the second held... But now this is one of these things where he's inside the top sixteen to me.
