Some college kids have the best skills and talent, and they don't get picked where they thought they should have bc they left school when there are things that still needs to be worked on. The NFL guys says it all the time, they don't have time to make players, they need to be NFL ready when they get there bc NFL coaches polish players, and they don't have time to build their bodies, the things that they should have gotten done at the college level, and there are times when these kids need every year of college they can get to grow into their position size and strength for the NFL. Tee has everything that a NFL receiver has to have except a filled out body, and the NFL guys know they will have to wait on that to happen, and that one thing takes them out of a 1st round pick, and a lot of college players and their fans just don't want to hear that!!!

Every mock draft had tee in the first round. Doesn't mean anything, but the "know it alls" thought he would be picked. 80% on 50/50 balls. Tough stat to ignore.

Mock drafts are just that, and they're never what's in the minds of NFL owners and coaches. Those that do those mock drafts has never drafted or paid a college athlete millions to come and play pro FB, and they will still have a job in the morning, and they will be saying the same about those kids again next year, and they will be just as wrong next year as they were this year. Isaiah Simmons has everything that a NFL team needs, and a team gets really 3 players for the price of one, and he was picked over for a player that could only play one position, go figure!!! But Tee was one of the best Clemson receivers we had on our team, and he couldn't do what he done against all the other teams that we play with the exception of the one that had NFL calibra talent across their defense in LSU, and coaches and owners clearly saw that he had work needing to be done at the college level before they spent a pile of money on him to finish growing while making a pile of money. It's a business, and they want them ready now, and they don't see Tee as a ready 1st round pick getting 1st round money!!!

Tee didn't get picked in the first round because of his combine speed. Plain and simple. Heck, our linebacker/safety out ran him by almost .15 of a second.

Yeah Cee Dee Lamb and Justin Jefferson are filled out right? Sorry this will be another blunder by NFL teams.Just like Watson they will regret their first pick. Well maybe not the Falcons and Cardinals.

Some mock drafter said the other day that Tee could be the sixth WR taken and we discussed it here. He still thought Tee would go late in the first.
So far, 6 have gone ahead of Tee.
I read where Lamb and Jeudy are considered the only "Can't miss" guys; Jefferson a step down; and the other three taken, even Ruggs, are explosive role players, only drafted by teams who think they can be creative enough to use them effectively. Some teams won't do nearly as good a job using those role players as what they planned at the time of the selection.
Tee is in the same tier as Jefferson, so his name will be called tomorrow for sure.

For Tee and his family, I truly hope so bc I love the young man, and he was a great receiver for our Clemson Tigers that help to win a lot of games!!! I'm betting that in a private conversation with Dabo, he was told that his body needed to get bigger, stronger, and a few 10ths faster, but bigger and stronger for sure!!!
