If he came out last year he wouldnt be a first round pick. I think in most drafts he wouldnt be a first round pick
You're drafting prospects. NFL teams don't care about college production outside of it showing up on tape. They care about what they will produce for their team.
Sadiq isn't the first kid to be pushed down the depth chart for a variety of reasons and only produce limited amount in college but show NFL teams enough to make them think he can be a critical piece of their roster.
Sadiq's athletic ability coupled with his physicality is rare and he would create many mismatch opportunities for Shanahan to work with. He would absolutely be BPA regardless of his one season of real sample size.
