Honestly I think Matayo is the one who could have the kind of season and combine to go Top 5.
I get why World is there, but it's also the same reason why Matayo could.

Matayo could be top 15, but he isn’t as good as DeFo was. Highly unlikely he’s anywhere 1.

Matayo is only going into this 3rd year, Buckner was at Oregon for 4 years. Matayo very well could reach Buckner level this next year.buckmarkduck wrote:Matayo could be top 15, but he isn’t as good as DeFo was. Highly unlikely he’s anywhere 1.

One is a DT the other is a DE so I don't understand comparing them.buckmarkduck wrote: Tue Jul 22, 2025 6:56 pm Matayo could be top 15, but he isn’t as good as DeFo was. Highly unlikely he’s anywhere 1.

Think Buckner played a lot of DE as a Duck!

He did
Also, if Sadiq is near as good as what Lanning thinks he will be, he could be a top 10 pick. I think he will be must watch at the combine
