Popular Post goldfishwars Posted April 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2020 Got so bored during the lock-down, I decided to put my top 100 players together with a few rough notes for each. I can guarantee some of these will be triggering for some people, but can truly say I've watched more of this class than any other in recent memory - mainly because we're stuck inside all day. 1. Chase Young | EDGE | Ohio State The cleanest prospect to come out of the draft in years. Literally can’t think of another player in recent memory who will come into the NFL with so few questions about his prospects. Genuinely has it all as an edge prospect. Should develop further when work is put in to improve his range of moves. 2. Joe Burrow | QB | LSU Put together possibly the greatest single college football season of any quarterback in living memory. Questions around his age and arm strength, one year of production. But throws with anticipation, has an uncanny feel for pressure, has mobility within and outside the pocket – can make tough throws under duress. Elite ball placement. 3. Tua Tagovailoa | QB | Alabama Has serious durability concerns which should not be downplayed too easily. Twitchy thrower who can make plays inside and out of structure, surprising arm talent, throws with touch and placement. Can handle a load in a pass-heavy attack. Obviously everything hangs on those medicals. 4. Isaiah Simmons | LB/S | Clemson Incredibly rare athlete, whether you compare him to linebackers or safeties. Can be a multi-level weapon on defense, has playmaking ability. Can be extremely effective as a spy against teams who rely on a ground threat from their quarterback. Really isn’t much he does not do well outside the line of scrimmage. 5. Jeffrey Okudah | CB | Ohio State If you designed a press-man corner, he would look and move like Okudah. Loose-hipped, tough, has thrived in multiple coverages, defends the run and tracks the ball well. Ball-skills appear to be average, not a high-level turnover threat – but can shut down half of the field. 6. Jedrick Wills | OT | Alabama Explosive bully who gets after opponents straight off the snap. Prototypical sized, can open-up his hips and bend, times his punches well, has plenty of nasty to his game. Occasional over-balancing, but rare. Played mostly on the right side, which may factor in when teams consider their needs. 7. Jerry Jeudy | WR | Alabama Rare quickness in out of breaks, phenomenal route speed and devastating on quick slants with his ability to find space as a runner. Has experience as a deep threat and a volume receiver, excelled in both roles at Alabama. Prolific at finding the end-zone, underrated skill for a skill player. Will see a greater physical challenge in the NFL. 8. CeeDee Lamb | WR | Oklahoma Incredible ball skills when airborne, natural receiver who wins at the catch point which is a transitional skill for the NFL. Not a burner, but surprising and sudden in his movements – can shake of defenders at the top of routes. Extremely dedicated to his craft. Questions around ability to win against press-man as did not encounter often against poor opposition, but looks well-built to meet that challenge. 9. Javon Kinlaw | IDL | South Carolina Lengthy and bull-strong inside defender who regularly overwhelmed blockers at South Carolina with surprising quickness. Only scratching the surface of his physical talent, has a big ceiling to grow into as a pass-rushing threat. Can play a little upright at times. Got away with it in college because he was stronger than everyone else, not so in the NFL. 10. Henry Ruggs III | WR | Alabama Rare, rare speed. The type of speed that can alter an entire defensive strategy. Not just a burner either – has soft hands and route quickness. Has had some issues working through physical defenders and was never the ‘go-to’ receiver at Alabama. Athletic ceiling is off the charts, however. 11. Tristan Wirfs | OT | Iowa Should not be downplayed what a great athlete this guy is. Just a rare combination of explosion, agility and power, beautiful to watch him operate in space. Should have high-floor technique fundamentals coming out of Iowa. Balance can be inconsistent. Does not always look as natural moving vertically in pass sets and doesn’t always show the kind of mean streak you like to see. 12. Derrick Brown | IDL | Auburn Was good enough to be a first-round pick last season, but returned and absolutely dominated – the tape is awesome. Regularly overpowered interior blockers and was happy to disrupt multiple blockers allowing second levels of defense to stay clean. Flashed high-level athleticism as a pass-rusher, but testing hints at a possible lower ceiling to grow into there. Some questions around his positional value. 13. Andrew Thomas | OT | Georgia He’s got a hugely impressive resume, came into Georgia as a top-recruit and played to every bit of his potential there. A massive human being and fills out that huge frame. Has considerable power in those long vines and doesn’t get moved off his spot in pass-pro. Not always the prettiest mover, but his technique is consistent and he’s just been a difficult obstacle to get around. 14. K'Lavon Chaisson | EDGE | LSU Only 20 years old and beginning to scratch the surface of his potential. Chaisson is an explosive athlete who refined his pass-rushing techniques as the college football season progressed. Looks natural dropping into coverage and moves well in space. Still raw as a rusher and struggled against top tier tackles at times, but he’s an ascending player. No athletic testing, but ran a verified 4.69 in high school. 15. C.J. Henderson | CB | Florida Rare match and mirror movements, easy and smooth in his back pedal and effortless when match and mirroring. Has the requisite size to man-up on bigger receivers. A rare athlete too, tested off the charts at the combine. Reads the quarterback well, always looking for opportunities to jump a route. Well-known issues in run-support in the past year, looked better at that during 2018. 16. Mekhi Becton | OT | Louisville Guys this big are not supposed to move as well as he does. Tosses dudes out of the club for fun on tape, almost amusing to watching him throw them aside. Plays with a real mean streak too. Victim of a funky blocking system which forced him to keep switching sides probably set him back until this year. Rarely seen him in true pass sets and has a ceiling to grow into as a pass protector. 17. Justin Jefferson | WR | LSU Hugely productive receiver, with 109 balls caught in his final season. Has an unusual running style which seems allow him to throw defenders off with subtle shakes and head fakes. Separates easily in short areas and vertically from the slot. He has ball-skills for days, large catch radius and can adjust in the air. Lined up in the slot for over 80% of the time at LSU, which comes with questions as to whether he can play outside – although he did test better than expected athletically. An absolute go-to on third down. 18. Denzel Mims | WR | Baylor You start with his rare combination of size and speed. Tape can be frustrating as he’s not asked to do much other than run a few routes and his quarterback is often overwhelmed before he can spot his man running open. Still, he was productive in that role and showed a much better than expected set of releases and nuanced route running at the Senior Bowl where he was completely dominant. Made both concentration drop and wow catches at college. 19. Patrick Queen | LB | LSU Played the position with high level intelligence and instincts towards the end of the season, often uncanny levels of quick processing. Queen has rare closing speed and explodes into gaps to shut down runners before plays can develop. Easy movements in space indicate he could match up regularly on tight ends. Lack of ideal size sees him doing his best work away from the line of scrimmage. 20. Ross Blacklock | IDL | TCU Twitched-up long-armed inside pass-rusher who can shoot through gaps for fun. Regularly in the opposition backfield, has fast and active hands to go with his get-off and an array of different moves in his arsenal. Stats don’t quite match-up to his athletic gifts. More of a willing run defender than a consistently effective one. 21. D’Andre Swift | RB | Georgia A well-balanced runner who can play through contact with a thick lower half. Great vision, especially when space is tight. Not a burner or a consistent home-run threat, but more of a chain-mover with a subtle burst in his back-pocket. Soft hands as a receiver and good in pass-protection – has a three-down skill-set at the next level. 22. Jeff Gladney | CB | TCU Vocal leader of the TCU defense, feisty and competitive – does not take a step back and is an excellent tackler. Ball-skills are good, bounces back quickly from bad plays. Play speed is very fast, rarely caught out of position. Not the biggest guy and will turn 24 during the season, which are his two real knocks. 23. Laviska Shenault Jr. | WR | Colorado One-man offense at times in Colorado where the quarterback play was so sub-par, Shenault’s versatility was the only thing keeping it moving at times. Grown man strength with the ball where runs with real violence. Faster than he times at the combine, can adjust in mid-air and can track deep balls. Versatility a hindrance in some aspects as route work needs polish and overuse may have led to some injury concerns. 24. Kenneth Murray | LB | Oklahoma Prototypical size at 6’2 and 240 pounds and looks every bit of it, big incremental improvements during his college career. Has genuine sideline to sideline range, phenomenal as a blitzer in Oklahoma – certain teams will love that about him. Mainly utilized as a hit and run man to limit YAC to snuff out screens. Aggressiveness can lead to over-pursuits and was rarely seen in man coverage. 25. Zack Baun | LB | Wisconsin High-effort hybrid linebacker/edge who may will have appeal to some teams an off-ball linebacker and others as a versatile weapon who can rush on third downs. Is a surprisingly easy mover in space. Has genuine burst and flexibility to flatten round blocks as a pass-rusher. Lack of ideal size may turn off some teams looking for a pure edge and lack of experience at off-ball may turn off others. 26. Cesar Ruiz | IOL | Michigan At 20 years old, he should have his best football ahead of him. An athletic interior blocker with some scheme and position versatility to fill in at guard and center. Rapidly out of his stance and looks great on pull blocks where he can get into space quickly. His quick feet show up in pass-protection too, but manages to look proficient and occasionally sloppy with his technique. Solid play strength, but not a people mover. 27. Jalen Reagor | WR | TCU A frustrating watch due to how poor quarterback play was in 2019. Still, his rare speed is evident as soon as you pop on the tape – looks like he is moving at a different speed to everyone else on the field at times. Dangerous as a runner and speed threat that could change the defensive alignment. Not the biggest, but versatile enough to suggest he can play inside or outside. Athletic testing indicated an explosive player who may struggle laterally. Not a big catching radius and both his hands and blocking effort will need to improve at the next level. 28. Yetur Gross-Matos | EDGE | Penn State Looks the part of the prototypical pass-rusher with his dimensions and it’s impressive when you see it all working together. Developed over the course of 2019, showing some nice counters to go along with fluid athleticism. He hasn’t always played up to his physical potential and has looked both athletic and labored in his run-plans. Probably needs a good defensive line coach to work with him in the NFL, but the ceiling is high. 29. Michael Pittman Jr | WR | USC Massive bodied receiver with some surprisingly quick movements for a man of his size. Has excellent ball skills and uses his physical advantage. Has some polish to his game other flashier prospects do not have and he is excellent at the catch point. He has shown he can separate late down field, but probably not a consistent down field threat. Lacks a suddenness to his movements which may see teams try and press him with larger corners. 30. Justin Herbert | QB | Oregon Looks the part, tall, athletic and a gun for an arm. Has untapped potential as a running threat and is a good thrower on the move. Good coaches will want to utilise that to keep defenses off-balance. Careful and rarely turns the ball over, can fit balls into tight windows. All fast balls and no touch on his throws, noticeably struggled in the biggest games. Never reached his full potential at Oregon where he plateaued after an extremely promising start. 31. Antoine Winfield Jr | S | Minnesota Memorable interception against Penn State where snagged the ball before it could reach KJ Hamler. Winfield has rare instincts and intelligence at the back end. Big-time turnover threat, with high end ball-skills. Very good athlete with positional versatility at safety or in the slot. Some teams will shy away his lack of size. Injury history not great, with two lost seasons out of four in Minnesota. 32. Bryan Edwards | WR | South Carolina Prototypical X-receiver size at 6’3 and 215 pounds and plays up to his size. Is strong at the catch point and an explosive tackle-breaker as runner. Testing at the combine (if he was able to) rumored to have indicated a high-level athlete. Used inside and outside, could be a big-slot or an outside possession receiver. Route-running was more polished than he was allowed to show on low-ambition passing offense at South Carolina, but likely needs work. 33. A.J. Terrell | CB | Clemson Ideal length for an outside press-man corner. Jams defenders at the line, times his stabs well and regularly knocks receivers out of their timing routes. Easy-mover with low 4.4 speed timed at the combine which matches what you see on his tape. Run-support is excellent, seems to enjoy the physical side of the position. Rough game at the end of year exposed some of his technique short-comings, but there’s plenty to work with. 34. Clyde Edwards-Hilaire | RB | LSU Incredible low center of gravity which makes it incredibly hard to defenders to tackle him first-up. His spin-move as a ball-carrier is deadly. Crisp route runner from the back-field and soft hands – can be a constant threat as a receiver from the running back position. Lacks long speed and won’t roast defenders to the edge, but having other tools in his armory can make him surprisingly effective running inside at times. 35. Ashtyn Davis | S | California Rangy safety who does his best work deep, aren’t many prospects like him in the draft. Has not been able to workout this off-season, but rumored to be able to run a blazing forty time. A turnover threat with excellent ball-skills, he has covered both tight ends and slot-receivers in man. Punches far above his weight physically, perhaps to his detriment as he’s not the thickest. Older prospect with some injury concerns. 36. A.J. Epenesa | EDGE | Iowa Incredibly long edge defender who plays with power and wins with his advanced hand usage. Bats balls down for fun, disrupts passing lanes. Holds the edge well, outwits his opposite number with a combination of handfights and bull rushes. Plays a little high, has some stiffness which showed up in his athletic testing which was poor. Might benefit from playing in an odd-front where his length and skillset can be maximised. 37. Jaylon Johnson | CB | Utah A physical boundary corner ideally suited to play predominantly in press-man where he excels at jamming receivers at the line. Student of the game off the field. Plays smart and with physicality, has good recovery speed when needed. A little grabby at the top of routes which may lead to more penalties at the next level. 38. Joshua Uche | EDGE | Michigan Another hybrid edge/linebacker who may appeal in different ways to different teams depending on how they see him. As a pass-rusher he can rip and dip, has genuine bend-the-edge flexibility. As an off-ball linebacker he is surprisingly smooth in space and can be a devastating blitzer. Not a huge amount of power to his game and too small to be an edge full-time. Can look out of place at times when playing off-ball. 39. Jordan Love | QB | Utah State Big-time arm talent with better than adequate size and athleticism combination. Throws with velocity and capable of high-level plays with his ability to throw with touch and placement from unlikely angles. Seemed to have a number of issues reading pre-snap this past year, where he was easily fooled and threw far too many YOLO passes when under pressure. Struggled to mesh with the new coaching staff which may excuse his downturn – but there were worrying passages of play. Probably needs a red-shirt season to acclimatise to the NFL. 40. Jeremy Chinn | S | Southern Illinois Extraordinary size and athletic potential, tiny school makes him look like a man amongst boys on film – which is as it should be for someone touted to go as high as he is projected to. Employed best as a strong safety or dimebacker to utilise his physicality. Excellent Senior Bowl week, where he was among the standouts – level of competition step-up did not phase him at all. However, there will be a steeper learning curve than those coming out of larger competitions. 41. Xavier McKinney | S | Alabama Was utilized in a number of roles at Alabama, covering a range of different positions. Really smooth and easy-mover, plays with high intelligence. Studies the game off the field and lines up his teammates. Not a top-tier athlete, but certainly adequate. Lack of ball-skills limits his potential for turnovers. More multiple defenses will like him most. 42. Kristian Fulton | CB | LSU Former big-time recruit, Fulton has a wild time at LSU with injuries and suspensions before having a big senior season. Plays with huge confidence, likes to take on the opponent’s top player and battled most to wins and stale mates. Excellent recovery speed, often able to get back into a play when it looks like he’s beaten. Subtle operator in the dark arts. Lack of ball skills suggest he may never be a consistent take-away threat. 43. Matt Hennessy | IOL | Temple A well-balanced technician on the interior. Allowed just 1.25% of pressures on his pass-sets according to PFF, grinds out a lot of stalemates. Exceptional at securing second-level blocks. Functional play strength, surprising – but not high-level power. Might be maxed out in his frame, but he’s not small. Probably more appealing to a zone-heavy blocking team. 44. Jonathan Taylor | RB | Wisconsin Home-run hitting speed in a prototypical sized body where he usually took more than what was on offer, even in a ground attack where the paths were paved for him. Enormous production behind man and zone blocking schemes. Runs with urgency and finished. Better than in the passing game than was allowed to show, there’s untapped potential as a receiver. More tread on the tires than ideal, ball security could have been better than it has been. 45. Grant Delpit | S | LSU Huge and deserved reputation coming into 2019, where he seemed to take the year off physically. Exceptional size and speed combination, has versatility in playing high and down in the box. Seems to be equally proficient in both roles. Has the ceiling to take a top-tier tight end out of the game. Not as rangy as he should be, takes some awful angles as a tackler – whether he was protecting himself or simply lacking in basic technique. Strange evaluation as highs and lows are significant. 46. J.K. Dobbins | RB | Ohio State Silky smooth runner with some gaudy production along the ground in his final season. Easy accelerator, beats opponents to the edge with his burst. Runs with patience with vision. Has good hands, can be an effective operator as a receiver. Has surprising strength as a runner – but lower-half is leaner than ideal. Needs refinement as a pass-protector. 47. Zack Moss | RB | Utah Thickly-built sustaining runner. Generates a real pop on contact at the end of his runs. Hugely impressive as a pass-protector, relishes the contact there. Can handle a workload on all three downs. Has surprising short area quickness and agility. Great hands, effective as a ball-catcher – but not a deadly route runner. Excellent contact balance, runs through tackles. Surprisingly fluid in the open field, plenty of breakaway runs – but long-speed is not top tier. Not a high-level athlete and plenty of mileage on the clock. 48. Jonah Jackson | IOL | Ohio State A technician in pass-protection, where he was very rarely off-balance or out-manoeuvred. Late transfer in his senior year, but slotted in as a starter for a big-time programme and did not miss a beat. Continued that momentum into an impressive Senior Bowl week where he was rarely beaten. Has some versatility to play at either guard or center, the latter may see him drafted higher than expected. Lacks the top-tier power to be a man-mover. 49. Josh Jones | OT | Houston Played 45 games on the left side of the line for Houston. Excelled in pass-protection, utilising his length and quick feet. Improved at every practice during Senior Bowl week after a slow start where he played a mixture of guard and tackle. Comes into the league with expectations that his better days are ahead. Needs plenty of a refinement as a run-blocker and answer some questions around his play strength, but there is plenty to work with for a good offensive line coach. 50. Kyle Dugger | S | Lenoir-Rhyne Has top-level size and speed and occasionally looks like a different species on the his Lenoir Rhyne tape where his athleticism really pops. Didn’t blink an eye at the Senior Bowl, where he was one of the standouts despite the step-up in competition for him. Much better on the front foot, coming down hill or planted in and around the box. Plays with a little stiffness and needs plenty of refinement for teams who might want him to take on a more versatile role at the back-end. 51. Terrell Lewis | EDGE | Alabama Body beautiful edge rusher, looks like he was built in a lab. Has some finesse and power to his game, nice overall package. Athletic testing was incomplete, but hinted at a top tier athlete. Spent too many reps getting locked up by offensive tackles who could predict his rush plan, but got better as the season progressed. Spin move was deadly when he started to use it. Big issues with his durability, missed all but a few games across 2017-2018. Has a high ceiling if those issues stay away. 52. Damon Arnette | CB | Ohio State Played in the slot and outside at Ohio State, so has some versatility. Has good size and a natural feel for the position, ferocious run defender. Much more comfortable playing man coverage, does not look as natural in zone. Really physical, almost to his detriment – loves to get his hands on receivers. Looks faster on tape than he timed at the combine. Lots of off-field rumors with this guy, could hurt his stock coming into the draft. 53. Jabari Zuniga | EDGE | Florida Twitchy pass-rusher with the length and athletic ceiling to be a disruptive edge-rusher in the NFL. Has loose-hips and can flatten around the edge. Get-off is incredibly inconsistent, ranging from explosive to late and labored. Injury hampered some of his explosive traits in 2019, but he looks more refined as a pass-rusher. Needs a good coach for him to reach his ceiling, but there’s plenty of physical talent to work with. 54. Cam Akers | RB | Florida State Big-time recruit after an awesome high school career, but landed at FSU just as their championship team was disbanding. Juicy runner, regularly beats defenders to the punch on outside runs. Thick lower-half, allowed him to wade through tight spaces to find open-field. Faced with having to take more than what’s on offer behind a bad line, can grind it out in short areas with physicality. Some of his tape is unwatchable because his offensive line is so overwhelmed. Impact as a receiver is mixed. Not a good pass-protector, will need to improve there if he wants to stay in the league. 55. Malik Harrison | LB | Ohio State Big for a modern-day linebacker at 6’3 and close to 250 pounds – those are slightly old-school dimensions. Pop on contact when taking on blockers. He carries the size well and tested above expectations at the combine. Phenomenal playing downhill, cuts down ball carriers with ease. Smooth mover for his size, but no more than moderately effective in coverage. 56. Trevon Diggs | CB | Alabama Lengthy corner who has an exciting blend of ideal length and the ball-skills to be a consistent turnover threat. Still learning the position after transitioning from receiver, likely he will take some knocks early. Sloppy technique led to him being exploited by LSU’s receivers. Needs a good coach at the next level, but the ceiling remains high and will appeal to teams who are used to playing with a lead. 57. Damien Lewis | IOL | LSU A chunky brute of an interior offensive lineman who is well-suited to a power-heavy scheme. Bull-strong anchor and heavy hands make him an incredibly tough opponent to move. Moved dudes for fun in the run game, where he was a real mauler and flashed the meanest of mean streaks. Not laterally gifted and lacks the athleticism to recover quickly when beaten. 58. Robert Hunt | IOL | Louisiana Enormous at 6’5 and 330 pounds, he was bad dude on the right-ride of Louisiana’s offensive line where his tape showed someone playing in a whole other tier of power to his opponents. Perhaps better suited inside in the NFL where teams have also looked at transitioning him to center from tackle. No-showed at the Senior Bowl due to injury, which was a real shame. Concerns around his quickness will limit his appeal in certain schemes. 59. Tyler Biadasz | IOL | Wisconsin Put together impressive 2017 and 2018 seasons, but ended his career with some of his worst football. Has real power at the point of contact where he showcases some of that old-fashioned strength. High IQ and high-effort player who plays with a relentlessness. Hopefully you can put that timeline down to the impact of two serious joint injuries which (hopefully) he can recover fully from. 60. Noah Igbinoghene | CB | Auburn Ascending corner talent who converted from wide receiver and track athlete a couple of seasons back. He’s come a long way in a short period of time, showcasing an ability to play the ball in the air. Loose and fluid hips, he’s an incredibly easy-mover at the back end. Needs plenty of refinement, but many believe has a very high ceiling indeed. Has some added value as a kick returner. 61. Netane Muti | IOL | Fresno State Could have been a top-tier interior prospect in this class, if it wasn’t for a spate of unrelated injuries at Fresno. Plays with rarely matched strength inside, bulldozes interior defenders for fun. Functions well on zone blocks and creating movement downhill, plays with a real competitive streak. Cleared as healthy by doctors at the combine, but those questions around his long-term health will remain. 62. Lloyd Cushenberry III | IOL | LSU Beloved at LSU, where he was a real leader of that offensive line. Competitive and powerful enough inside, functionally strong when anchoring down. Probably better suited to switch to guard in the NFL where his occasional overbalancing would not be as apparent. Not blessed with top tier lateral mobility, but his feet are lighter than you expect and plays with decent technique. 63. K.J. Hamler | WR | Penn State Another receiver with rare quickness and speed. Ridiculous acceleration, reaching top speed in no time at all. A blur with the ball in his hands. Smaller than ideal, perhaps limited to the slot only. Will not win contested catches, lacks play strength and does not track the deep ball well. Only 20 years old, best years should be ahead of him. Some teams won’t know how to use him. 64. Isaiah Wilson | OT | Georgia An extremely large human with an enormous wingspan. An improving player on the right-side of Georgia’s line where he played for two seasons. Still has rawness in pass protection where he has struggled with speed at times. Awesome power, regularly burying opponents off the snap. First round talk is a little rich. Put up some pretty ugly COD testing numbers, which shouldn’t go unnoticed. 65. Davon Hamilton | IDL | Ohio State Large nose tackle who didn’t start until his final season. Bull strong and tough to move inside, memorably dominated Nick Harris in Senior Bowl practices to the point that it was embarrassing for Harris. Excellent run defender, power player rather than twitchy and explosive. Not a zero, probably better in an even front. Positional value likely to be in demand during this draft, with a lack of other top tier prospects in a role he succeeds in. Limitations as a pass-rusher. 66. Amik Robertson | CB | Louisiana Tech Small, power-packed corner with some eye-popping plays on tape. 14 interceptions and 34 pass break-ups in his career, consistent threat to take the ball away. Fearless and competitive, will be ideal in the slot given his size limitations. Better in a zone scheme, where you can allow him to sit back and play the ball. Quick and twitchy, but probably not fast. Not played high-level opponents on a regular basis. 67. Brandon Aiyuk | WR | Arizona State One-year of crazy production at Arizona State. Awesome YAC, constant big plays at Arizona State when the ball was in his hands. Competitive player, got after defenders as a blocker. Can track a deep ball, has real developmental potential as a vertical threat. Not great in contested situations, will be pressed early and often until he finds a plan to counter that. Not a natural receiver, skills need honing there. 68. Terrell Burgess | S | Utah Lined up all over the back end of Utah’s defense, at corner, nickel, free and as a box safety. Top tier athlete and plays the game with a high IQ, not a banger. Consistently made plays on the ball at the Senior Bowl, where he had a very good week. Leader of the defense, gets his teammates lined up. Shorter arms might not help when competing for balls in the air, slightly less than ideal size overall. 69. K'Von Wallace | S | Clemson Versatile chess piece at the back-end of Clemson’s defense where he lined up all over the place. Excellent on blitzes, should not be underrated how good he is at that. Smaller safety, might be ideally suited to a permanent move to slot-corner. 89.7 PFF grade for his work in coverage, and amassed ten turnovers in 2019 alone. Poor championship game needs to be noted, left a sour taste on an otherwise excellent year with Clemson. Has some physical limitations when covering deep. 70. Jordyn Brooks | LB | Texas Tech Huge tackle stats, 360 over four seasons for TT. Always around the football, it’s like a magnet heading towards him every play. Has great range, athleticism is where you like to see it. Quick diagnosis, consistent TFL threat. Frame is narrower than ideal, gets blocked out of some plays. Never really see him in coverage, so he’s an unknown quantity there. 71. Logan Wilson | LB | Wymoning Longer linebacker, plays smart and takes good angles to the ball. Rarely out of position, rarely caught over pursuing. Seems fairly scheme versatile, fairly easy mover in coverage and changes direction well. Does all the small-stuff well. Neither a playmaker, or a tone-setter. Late hype feels like an over-correction, but there is plenty to like. 72. Neville Gallimore | IDL | Oklahoma Has some explosion out of his stance, has some twitch out of his stance. He’s a little deliberate and telegraphed in his movements (e.g. spin move). Big-time effort player, gives it his all from snap to snap, no plays off. Played much better in the past year with the extra weight off. Linear, does not change direction well – reduces his tackle radius. Best utilized at nose-guard in an aggressive even front – lack of length makes him a little scheme specific. 73. Tyler Johnson | WR | Minnesota Pops off the tape in contested situations where his ball-skills really shine, some of the best hands in the class. A technical route-runner, you can see the hard work he puts in there. Has a natural feel for the position. Super weird draft season, refusing to play at the Shrine and then refusing to partake in athletic testing. Clearly not a top-tier burner, league seems to be much lower on the guy. 74. John Simpson | IOL | Clemson A bad man in the trenches, huge package with grown man strength. 11-inch hands and 34-inch arms. Regularly bullies defensive tackles out of their stances, surprising athleticism when pulling. Big, nasty finisher on the move. Huge anchor – does not move when challenged head on. Tires as the game progresses, needs some conditioning work. Feet can look heavy at times, suited to a power-heavy scheme. Can get beat off the jump by twitched up interior rushers. 75. Willie Gay | LB | Mississippi State You can see his high-level athleticism on tape, has crazy range side to side. The athletic testing is rare, way above normal for his position. His tape is a combination of high-level plays that few other linebackers could make and then long periods where he can look uncertain and hesitant. Keep hearing that his off-field red flags were academic related, but he also punched a teammate? There were others issues too. A better athlete than player at this moment in time, needs good coaching and a settled structure to really flourish. Baltimore would be a dream fit. 76. Lucas Niang | OT | TCU Looked poor in 2019 compared to his impressive 2018 season, many are putting this down to playing through injuries. At 6’7 and 330 pounds, he’s an enormous dude with natural power and moves well for his size. Overcomes technical shortcomings with athleticism, but needs technique work in pass-pro. Looks much better on the front foot, an asset in the run game. Hip problems can be a death knell for offensive linemen, hopefully not in his case. Medicals will be crucial for this guy’s immediate prospects. 77. Bryce Hall | CB | Virginia Long physical corner with excellent ball-skills, more pass breakups than anyone else in 2018. Shows up from being converted from receiver where he played in high school. Really scrappy dude, likes to trash talk and the physical challenge. Not the easiest or smoothest mover, definitely better on the front foot where he can suffocate guys at the line. Recovering from a broken ankle which has impacted his ability to impress in draft season. 78. Curtis Weaver | EDGE | Boise State Pudgy build, does not look like what you imagine an edge player to look like. Not much twitch or juice out of his stance, sometimes flexible, sometimes stiff. He has won around the corner with good technique. Doesn’t win with plus athleticism, but with nous, intelligence and effort – but top level production should not just be ignored. Hand usage is excellent, rushes with a plan. Could see him flourish on a team that has succeeded with lower-tier athletes, but equally likely to see him flame out without an obvious athletic advantage. 79. Justin Madubuike | IDL | Texas A&M Has an exciting blend of speed of power in his arsenal. Can be a frustrating watch, looking explosive on one snap and then lumbering on the next – probably could put that down to poor conditioning. If you watched only his top-level plays, you would be left convinced he was a first round talent. Sometimes has balance issues, on the ground a lot. Not scheme diverse. 80. Tee Higgins | WR | Clemson Large and productive outside receiver for Clemson where he consistently won down the field. Unlike other prospects in this class, Higgins plays to his size and knows how to use his physical advantage. Regularly bullied corners, big catch radius. Not a separator, will have to make a living at contested catches – a red zone specialist. Low-level athlete, few examples of players with his testing carving out long-term NFL careers. 81. Devin Duvernay | WR | Texas Big production in his final season, 106 balls caught for 1,386 yards. Competitive player, plays with a real edge. Weird athletic profile, absolute devastating straight-line speed – but lacks flexibility, painfully so at times. Operated mainly from the slot, indicates an issue with press coverage. Tracks the ball well, sometimes vertical speed and ball tracking are all you need to become a consistent weapon in the NFL. Big-play threat on teams that utilise play-action. 82. Mohammed Barry | LB | Nebraska Juiced-up tone setter on the Nebraska defense. Stout build at a shade over 6ft and 245 pounds, but moves well. Hard-nosed, likes to mix it up with blockers – physical at the point of contact and generates a real pop. Motor is always running hot with this guy, on-field playing persona is infectious. Not great in coverage, uncontrolled aggression leads to over pursued plays at the times. 83. Rashard Lawrence | IDL | LSU Been talked about as a high-level prospect for a few years, but never really fulfilled his five-star potential. Not an enormous dude, but has dead weight, tough to move him – absolutely at his best two gapping against multiple blockers. Lack of top-level athleticism makes him a little scheme specific and he’s not a pass-rush threat, but his skill-set would be lapped up in somewhere like New England where he can spend his time collapsing pockets. 84. Prince Tega Wanogho | OT | Auburn Prototype size and length for an NFL tackle, athletic build. Late out of his stance constantly, doesn’t look like he knows what he’s supposed to be doing at times. Would suit a zone-heavy scheme who could utilise his quickness and strengths operating at the second level and hide some of the technical deficiencies. Toolsy blocker, best is yet to come from him – but he’s still on a really steep learning curve. Didn’t test at the combine due to a knee-scope, but could have really raised some eyebrows there – I think he’s a top level athlete. 85. Antonio Gibson | WR | Memphis Played mostly as a receiver, but also contributed some big plays as running back at Memphis. Highlight reel is quite something. Crazy lateral movements and contact balance, can juke defenders out of their cleats. Only one year of production and very limited route tree exposure. Would be reduced to a gadget player only in some schemes, but has plenty of upside as either a back in a pass-heavy scheme or as a slot receiver. 86. Adam Trautman | TE | Dayton Perfect in-line sized at 6’5 and 255 pounds. Can block in-line, which makes him some sort of a unicorn in this tight end class. Tiny school and playing at a position which has a longer transition period to the NFL than most, could make that timeline a little longer. Former basketball player, has soft hands in the receiving game. Excelled at the Senior Bowl, event wasn’t too big for him. Athletic testing showed some impressive shorter area quickness, but questionable speed to be a seam threat. 87. Marlon Davidson | IDL | Auburn Struggled most with some of the higher projections with this guy. High-effort player, seems team focused and likeable off the field. Strong for an edge and quick for an interior rusher, but not twitchy enough to become a consistent pass-rush threat at either spot. Has plenty of upper body strength, but not sure he’s stout enough to play inside full-time in an even front. Rotational player in some multiple front schemes, or a larger end in a scheme like Matt Patricia’s. 88. Van Jefferson | WR | Florida Coaches son and it shows on the field, real route-technician – put on a technique clinic against the top corners at LSU. Slippery against press, but has seen struggles with more physical opponents. Was exceptional on one-on-ones at the Senior Bowl where he consistently outwitted his opponents. Exceptional effort as a run-blocker. Never a producer in college, 2019 was his best with 49 catches and 657 yards. Old, will be 24 when the season starts and there’s not a great predictor for receivers. 89. Julian Okwara | EDGE | Notre Dame Longer, athletic outside pass-rusher. Has some bend and flex to match some of the juice you see out of his stance. Not a good run defender, plays high and will suffer unless his pad level lowers at the next level. Scheme specific, more suited for a stand-up rushing role where he can consistently attack a corner. Lack of testing will leave questions unanswered, quiet news on the recovery from his broken leg. 90. Darrell Taylor | EDGE | Tennessee Perfectly sized edge who can set the edge in the run game, but doesn’t always play up to his potential there. Plenty examples of him flattening around the edge as a rusher, has some enticing tools in his locker. Scheme versatile, could play in multiple fronts quite happily. Slightly older prospect at 23 years old. Stress-fracture in foot prevented athletic testing that may have answered some lingering questions around his upside. More than a few whispers of off-field stuff. 91. Joe Bachie Jr | LB | Michigan State Big-time leader of the Michigan State defense where he was the alpha dog. Smaller than ideal, lacks length – but still manages to hit like a truck. More blue collar than high-ceiling talent. Quick mental processor, diagnoses plays quickly and snuffs them out when playing downhill. Tested better than expected, supposed struggles in coverage were overblown. On-field work will be viewed through a post PED suspension lens. 92. Jacob Eason | QB | Washington Bit of a throwback prospect, huge arm and likes to play primarily from the pocket. Big-time recruit, but lost the starting job at Georgia. Not a threat with his feet, but not completely lacking there. Seems to have some issues with mental processing, doesn’t throw with anticipation – a see-it, throw-it quarterback. Has had some accuracy issues, leaves throws on the field. Has some confidence in his arm, like that he’ll uncork it when it’s on. Will suit a team who plays the vertical passing game. 93. Cole Kmet | TE | Notre Dame Has the physical profile of a top-tier tight end prospect, built straight out of the lab. 6’7 tall and has a large catching radius. Never a go-to option in the Notre, with 2019 being by far his best statistical year at 43 caught passes for 515 yards. Was a two-sport guy (baseball), which may have held back some of his development. Better athlete than he shows on the field, looks a little deliberate as a route runner – doesn’t play to his size. Not a good blocker in-line, but has the frame to see significant improvements there. 94. Ezra Cleveland | OT | Boise State Funky build, very little definition in his arms. Needs to spend some time in the weight room, because he gets rocked around on film by some pretty average defensive ends. Light feet and beautiful mover in space though, would be a real asset to a zone-heavy scheme if he can put it all together. Eye-popping workout will probably see him overdrafted, hopefully by a team who knows they are taking on a project. 95. Khalid Kareem | EDGE | Notre Dame Big, long dude and more of an edge-setter to compliment the twitchier Okwara on the other side. More suited to play in an even front, fantastic against the run – overpowers tackles at times. Only modest production as a pass-rusher, but has a wicked bull-rush. Not juicy out of his stance, slow plays a lot – not sure if by design. Yet another edge rusher who impressed at times during the season and then could not work-out at the combine due to an injury, a bad shoulder in his case. 96. Troy Pride | CB | Notre Dame Zone based corner who excels in off-man coverage. Tested very well at the combine. Came into the Senior Bowl with detailed plans on all of the receivers who attended and the extra homework really seemed to pay-off. Grabby at the top of routes, won’t get away with that in the NFL. Shorter arms, may prevent him from competing for the ball where he has been out-muscled at times. 97. Saahdiq Charles | OT | LSU Smooth mover, with quick feet and natural balance – build like a guard but could has the movement skill to function outside. Not an ideal frame, build isn’t ideal and lacks top-tier power – needs some time in an NFL weight room. Whole bunch of off-field with this guy, but plenty to work with if he can sort that out. 98. Akeem Davis-Gaither | LB | Appalachian State Weakside linebacker, slips off blocks and shoots through gaps rather than taking then square on. Silky mover when dropping into coverage, has manned up on running backs and tight ends. Easy-mover, moves exceptionally well laterally. Kind of a safety build, needs to thicken out or be utilized in a hybrid role. Core special teamer, which is where his floor is at the next level. 99. Lynn Bowden [ WR ] Kentucky Another hybrid receiver/back who played at quarterback this past season. Has immediate low-risk quick-hit and run and jet sweep upside. Devastating open-field runner, with top-tier lateral quickness. Teams will probably covet him most as a returner in most instances, some teams primarily look at kick return as an asset for playing receiver in the NFL. Switch to QB probably prevented development as a receiver, route work is crucial there. 100. Eno Benjamin [ RB ] Arizona State Smaller running back with crazy lateral ability and balance in small areas, spins out of tackles – a fun player to watch. He’s better through contact than he should be, mainly due to his elite balance and control. Can be a big-time contributor in the passing game, runs routes and has natural hands. Not a powerful runner or breakaway threat, lacks long speed. Not built to play on all three downs in most schemes. Needs a lot of development as a pass-blocker. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Nice post @goldfishwars. Some follow up questions, - Will the following players find themselves being washed out of plays and/or find it tough to disengage from NFL blocking; Isaiah Simmons, Kinlaw, Baun? - You've said TE Trautman is a good in-line blocker, is this relative to his division (i.e he could block small school defenders) or is this projecting that he can be a good inline blocker in the NFL as well? - If Kmet is a prototypical TE, but doesn't play to his size and isn't a go-to option, where do you think it's appropriate to draft him, if at all (from NE's POV...so say you're in the war room) Edited April 13, 2020 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Awesome work. Here are a few guys I was surprised to see left off the list, albeit I know I am much higher on them than mostly everyone: 1. Essang Bassey CB Wake Forest. -I have him in my top 15 prospects when it comes to grades Stifling cover man that excels in press coverage. Reminds me of Joe Haden 2. Hakeem Adeniji OG Kansas. -Clearly a 2nd tier OL, but an elite fit to move inside to guard and dominate in a ZBS Elite movement skills. Capable of reaching over a gap and a half in zone blocking. Adequate pass blocking should be mitigated by moving inside 3. Shaq Quarterman MLB Miami Fl. -Powerfully built linebacker. Excellent leadership skills. Diagnoses very fast. Effective blitzer. Beats the crap out of guards and fullbacks. Limited athletically and will not be able to cover TEs or receiving RBs in man-man. 4. Logan Stenberg OG Kentucky. -Bully OG that buries people. Very aggressive and has a great frame for a power run scheme. Plays nasty. Too stiff and clunky to play in a movement scheme or be a space blocker. IIRC, some injury concerns. 5. Jonathan Greenard DE Florida. -Built very strong. Excellent leadership traits. Plays hard on every snap. Has a wide array of pass rush moves. Sets the edge in the run game. One of the best DEs in the class of maintaining gap integrity while still getting a rush. Tested a lot worse than I anticipated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks dude - yeah it was weird getting to 100 and realising I was gonna be leaving a bunch of guys off I liked a lot. Still haven't watched Quarterman or much of Bassey, but will make the effort now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmet has all the tools to get better at that, there's a school of thought that playing baseball was still prominent in his mind until very recently and that a switch to football fulltime might see him grow into the position in the NFL. If I'm New England, we were in a similar place a few years ago when we drafted Gronk and Hernandez. I think they will need to draft at least two in this class, the best value is in the middle rounds though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Quick takes: Too High: Wills - Still a good prospect, don't get me wrong, but I think he's 4th of the top 4 OT prospects Ruggs - People are enamored with that speed, but in some of their biggest games he was held in check Mims - Once again, i'm a fan, just see him more in the 30-45 range than top 20 player in the class Swift - Sometimes RBs are worth a 1st rd pick, I don't think any in this class are Murray - Iffy run defense grades in college and Oklahoma never asked him to cover, and that scares me if they didn't want an athlete like that in coverage Pittman - I think he's more of a possession receiver in the NFL with a ceiling as a poor mans Michael Thomas. See him in the 45-60 range Chinn - Needs a lot of refinement still Too Low: Thomas and Wirfs - I'm back and forth with these two as the top OP in the class, I think both are top 8 players. You're not far off, just feel they are definitely top 10 guys. Josh Jones - One of the nastiest guys in the draft. Put him at RT and let him wreck havoc Taylor - My favorite RB in the draft, I see him as a fringe 1st rd Logan Wilson - Might be my favorite LB in the draft and one of the few proven 3 down LB Madabuike - One of my favorite interior disruptors in the draft. Could see him thrive as a 4-3 UT or a 3-4 DE Eason - I think he's a better pro than he was in college. Let him sit a year or two behind a vet and refine his game and I think he can be a top 10 QB eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 This was awesome. Write ups were a long enough to provide a perfect picture of the prospect and short enough to keep you enticed for more. Well done, Fish. You’re surprisingly low on Tee Higgins. How much of that, if not all, is based on his combine? His tape is really spectacular to watch. He’s a really fluid athlete with great body control. He plays faster than he times, and has excellent ball skills. But his lack of explosion might be an issue at the next level. On tape I see him in that Mike Evans/Alshon Jeffery role as a boundary receiver that dominates vertically and will win most one-on-one’s when the ball is in the air. But man, that vertical jump and 10-yard split worry me. What do you think? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a very good college player, but something isn't aligning when you test that poorly at the stuff which is supposed to be your calling card. I had a kinda similar issue with JJ Arcega-Whiteside last year. Testing isn't the be-all, but man you gotta hit certain thresholds sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I liked what I saw. Then saw some things that turned me away from him and moved him way down the rankings. Decided to go back and take a third look and now I'm way back up on him. Definitely disappointing to see how he tested. It's definitely a concern. But what there is to like is, you can't teach the ball skills, coordination and body control he possesses collectively. At the end of the day, he's such a natural receiver, he looks boring and lethargic on the field. And it took me a while to separate that because of how effortless he makes things look. The track record Clemson has put out at that position is definitely in his favor as well. While I don't think he necessarily compares to Nuk Hopkins as a player, his draft profile and career projection seem eerily similar to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 If I had to nitpick receivers because I've watched them the most: I feel that you're a little high on Jefferson. I don't feel that his slot production will be as valuable as outside receivers in the NFL. Spot on with Mims. I think you're a little low on Reagor. If Reagor and Jefferson swapped qbs, Jefferson would not even be mentioned in the first round conversation IMO, whereas Reagor IMO would be considered a "sure thing" top 20 prospect. I feel like you're a tad high on Pittman, but it's understandable because he excelled in the pac 12. I do think his lack of good DB competition in the pac 12 is a bit of a ding. I'd have him and Edwards closer to 50. With Aiyuk you have a spot on grade. He just isn't close to a finished product at all. Don't understand the early 2nd late 1st hype. I feel that you're low on Higgins. I have him as a late 1st. His testing wasn't ideal, but he has hands, played plenty fast, and is better in and out of his breaks than Pittman among others, while being a better YAC guy than some of the other "big" receivers. His game vs OSU and Okudah/Arnette only cemented that in my eyes. I see some positive similarities with Golladay and Michael Thomas. I see him as a productive,savvy., physical, posession receiver at the next level. I appreciate that you also like Tyler Johnson. Draft twitter hates him for some reason (matt miller LOL). Great eval on Duvernay as well. He is a weird projection for sure. Great job overall, especially because grading receivers is pretty finicky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have a relaxed playing demeanor, but there's not a lot of juice coming in and out of his breaks. All of those easy cushions from dudes who won't sniff the NFL and his languid comeback routes will be gobbled up at the next level. You are right, he can be a ball magnet when the ball is in the air and his body control is impressive. It also kind of needs to be, because the dude isn't shaking anybody. I think the route forward for NFL success is for him to land on a team where he has a QB who won't be afraid to consider him open, even when he's not. I think I heard someone say he could thrive in a way those big old Chargers receivers did when Norv and Rivers were bombing everybody, that made sense to me.

Brit Pack Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks for this. I would pretty much concur with it based off what I have looked at and read. Love the fact that you got Bryan Edwards at 32, I think he'll be the best value receiver in this draft. Most interesting points as picked up by some, The Higgins ranking and the Josh Jones ones for me standout. Question, the other one that stood out to me was with regards to Blacklock. You have him the next guy on the Dline after Brown and Kinlaw and you got him at 20, why you like him so much and who is comp for him?

bigben07MVP Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I noticed you are pretty high on K’Von Wallace. Do you realistically think he could go in the late 2nd early 3rd? He’s one of my favorite mid-round guys for the Steelers. He was a little overshadowed by Simmons in college but he’s a stud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awsi Dooger Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Much appreciated. This is my favorite type of thread. The summaries are ideal length of summary. I'm seeing Davon Hamilton pushed higher and higher in this type of list. As a Dolphin fan I've been hoping for a later grab. Now it looks like they might have to spend something #70 or higher, or forget about it. Their next pick is #141. I'm reading nothing but negativity on Jordan Love no matter where I check. I often wonder if they are describing the Utah State guy or a different player. The summaries I've seen elsewhere don't describe Love at all. Fans are acting like he shouldn't be drafted. This summary isn't negative on Love, although the slotting is somewhat low. I think Jordan Love is going to make the naysayers look very silly, and it could happen a lot sooner than anyone expects.
