Dybantsa
Tatum

gap

RJ

I think if I put Tatum over Dybantsa, even though I liked him, it would be with the advantage of hindsight.

I agree with this one. I like Dybantsa right now quite a bit more than I liked Tatum in college. He's exceeded my expectations.

This is basically what I thought RJ would be.

Agreed. It will all hinge on Dybantsa's work ethic. If he is as motivated to improve than Tatum (or Brown), the sky is the limit.

Based on how I had these guys rated at the time, for me it was...

Dybansta
Barrett
Tatum

I think all 3 are pretty close all things considered, but I had my concerns about Tatum coming out of college. He has 100% exceeded my expectations.
