The TDN group already has Ekwonu and Cross above Neal and now the B/R consensus board has Ekwonu OT1 and I belive Nate Tice has Cross ahead of Neal also.

Neal has the crazy potential with his size and athleticism, but he's just not that great yet. Ekwonu and Cross are currently better players and have loads of upside themselves.

Still, go Thibs #1 and don't look back.

None of them are great yet, they are college players. Neal has had a very good year though and if a tackle gets drafted before Neal means nothing lol. Andrew Thomas was the first tackle taken in the 2020 draft, does that mean hes the best tackle since he was the first tackle taken?  lol.  You act like Ekwomu and Cross are coming out of nowhere, they have been mocked in the top 10 for months now and some even had Ekwonu mocked to us for a while. I honestly think Ekwonu will be better guard
