Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline hears that UCF S Richie Grant is “presently receiving late first-round consideration on a number of boards.”
While first-round buzz is heating up for Grant, Pauline isn’t quite sure if the UCF standout can make the first-round cut proper later this month, as he believes that teams in the later range of the round will largely be looking for edge and offensive line help. That said, the 6-foot, 194-pounder has been a consistent performer throughout the evaluating season, showing out well both in Senior Bowl practices and at Central Florida’s pro day. If Grant can’t make Round 1, it doesn’t sound like he’ll be waiting around too long on Day 2.
