Peter Bukowski · Mar 23, 2026

Bukowski argues Arkansas cornerback Julian Neal (Julianne Neill) is one of the 40-45 best players in the draft and deserves an early second-round/top-50 selection, while also predicting there's roughly a 90% chance he's still available for the Packers at pick 52 and that he won't last until pick 84.

I think this is one of the 40 best football players in this draft and I think there is like a 90% chance he will be there for the Packers at 52.

Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.

  • Julian Neal to be picked “consensus top 50 pick / early second round grade” (picks 1–50)

    If Neil had played another year in the SEC, I think he'd be a consensus top 50 pick. As it is, I think he belongs there... I have an early second round grade.
