I'm having a tough time getting past Shavon Revel in the first round.

But it seems like a boom or bust pick.
2022: He was only able to get on the field for 25 defensive snaps for East Carolina (not exactly a big school).
2023:
Absolutely dominant individual year. But East Carolina went 2-10, often giving up 30 points against non-horrible opponents and other than facing the Champion Michigan team (which were more known for their running and limited passing), their schedule was on the weaker side.
Revel still had an absolutely great individual year, but the quality opponents didn't exactly have to challenge him, and could go after others, or had a lot of garbage time as the games weren't close.
2024: Only played in three games due to an ACL tear. Did well in those three games, but not as well as 2023.
But Gute has absolutely gone for the highest potential guys in round 1 before, so Revel can never be counted out for Gute, as his physical potential is off the chart.
I just wish there was more film of him against better competition. Normally you'd get to see guys like this in the Senior Bowl or the East-West Shrine Bowl, which would give you a lot better measuring gauge, he's recovering from the ACL.
I fully expect him to be on the pre-draft visits list, so they can get a personal workout and see how he does in person.
