    NFL 2021 Draft

    Jeudy is overrated imo but Dolphins could find a use for him since Tua is reliant on RPOs, quick hitters and schemed shot plays anyway. If I'm Denver I take that deal in a heartbeat. Sutton, Patrick and Hamler is plenty good enough at WR with 2 talented young TEs.

    Denver should be doing everything in their power to upgrade QB. Lance or Fields would be awesome there.

    NFL 2021 Draft

    The only other pass rusher I've studied is Phillips. So him for sure. But I've evaluated a ton of skill guys and would take many of them ahead of GR. Jon Ledyard has GR pegged as a day 3 talent, fwiw. Peter King just wrote his column insinuating that GR is a huge risk. PK doesn't know ****...

    Again Chandler Jones is the most physical edge guy on the planet. He plays with reckless abandon and has the most unorthodox package of rush moves in the league. No one compares to him least not Rousseau. Cleanup production is not very valuable and not very predictive or sustainable for future...

    I know his story. It's noble of him to want to take care of his parents but it's a regrettable financial decision. If he cost himself millions in signing bonus $ to spare his mom 3-4 months working as a nurse...yikes. He had plenty of edge opportunities and didn't do much. I do see physical...

    Whether I agree or disagree with this take, don't go to Tony Pauline for prospect evaluations. He's not good at it. He has a lot of sourced info which is useful but he's as bad as Kiper at draft analysis.

    NFL 2021 Draft

    The fact that the vast majority of his production came from the interior, and he had very few legit rushes/pressures from the edge on a high volume of snaps. Maybe he develops an edge rush skillset, maybe he doesn't. Either way I've lost count of the number of analysts who characterize his opt...

    Teams reach on pass rushers. I thought Chubb was a reach. Dion Jordan, Barkevious Mingo. It happens all the time. This draft is different because it's strong at QB, pass catcher and OT and those are all premium positions. Then Parsons (pending off-field) and CBs are rated higher than the DL...

    NFL 2021 Draft

    Late 3rd is my guess but who knows. NFL teams do weird **** with TEs like drafting blockers in the 2nd (Drew Sample) yet letting an all-around stud like Harrison Bryant last to the 4th. I think Brevin will be the 4th TE off the board either way and it wouldn't shock me if a blocker like Tremble...

    NFL 2021 Draft

    Yeah it speaks to overvaluing traits and skills shown on film in the past. If you evaluate strictly based off the criteria "who was a more impressive edge player in college" than Roche is the answer but GR will be 2 years removed from his last college season, is much younger and accordingly has...

    NFL 2021 Draft

    Analytics does not advocate for that but I hear you. It's ingrained in these dudes to run to the 3pt line. I lost interest in NBA cause every team is jacking 3s and most teams don't defend hard every night so a lot of games just come down to shooting luck. It's very frustrating and creates a bad...

    NFL 2021 Draft

    We'll see. A lot of evaluators are touting Phillips as the best rusher in the draft yet pointing to nebulous "off-field concerns" that might push him to Day 2 (or pick 32). He has the injury history with concussions being particularly concerning and of course NFL teams perceive his passion for...

    NFL 2021 Draft

    I was actually trying to say you were arguing against me but I phrased it poorly. Then I looked back at the threads and you were pretty vocal about loving Phillips it just seemed like you were down on him relative to Rousseau. So double mistake on my part but it actually worked out with what I...

    https://www.pewterreport.com/could-bucs-have-shot-at-nfl-drafts-top-pass-rusher/ Good to see the draft media catching up to what I was saying on here in mid-Nov as @brock and others argued with me. Roche also been getting some buzz as a Bucs target on Day 2. Temple connection with Arians and...

    NFL 2021 Draft

    Yeah I don't like how they use YPRR as their basis of the receiving grades. It's a very context-dependent statistic where WRs in play action/wide zone schemes that get schemed crossers against zone will feast - guys like Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and Corey Davis. And WRs who run a lot of...

    NFL 2021 Draft

    You answered it yourself. He exploited overmatched interior linemen. His only games above 80 grade came against CMU, FSU and Duke. His pass rush grade on the edge was 71.3. Most of his success and production came on the inside winning reps early with his length and athleticism. He hasn't shown...

    Do you disagree that Jordan is good at contested catches, catch radius, blocking? Cause that's the evaluation. 25% contested catch rate as a Junior is not good. Not really. His red zone utility came on schemed plays that got him the ball in open areas. Much like Jordan has been used as an...

    NFL 2021 Draft

    That's my fantasy rank not NFL rank, and it will drop lower as I still have more guys to look at. Players like Atwell have no fantasy upside. Would I draft him for an actual team before Sage Surratt, Nico Collins, Javon McKinley or Branden Mack? Sure, but those guys have a chance to become...
