The story
LJ McCray brings a five-star recruiting mark and a 6-foot-4-and-a-half, 279-pound frame to Florida's defensive line, the kind of size a front-seven evaluation wants before a snap gets logged. Consensus boards have him at No. 39 overall, while Draftanomics's model puts him at No. 201 — a gap of 162 spots, among the widest dissents on the board this cycle.
