DefenseWinsChampionships Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) For me it's... Nik Bonitto out of Oklahoma. He's the most severely underrated Edge Pass Rusher within this entire draft class. And it just feels as if almost literally no one is talking about him despite the fact that... S.) Nik Bonitto himself has not only recorded 16 Sacks with 26.5 Tackles for Loss behind the Line of Scrimmage throughout the previous two years (2020 and 2021). L.) His 94.0 Pass Rushing Grade since dating back to 2019 ranks 2nd and only behind Chase Young. E.) In 2020 this kid led the entire Country @ EDGE #1 in Pass Pushing grade (93.6), #1 in Pass-Rushing Win Rate (28%) and also #1 in QB Pressure Rate Generated (25.7%) and amongst all Power Five Edge Defenders; Bonitto ranked within the top 5 in all 3 of these Metrics. E.) He's been the most productive pass-rusher on a per-snap basis over the past two seasons (2020-2021) while earning a 93.6 Pass-Rushing grade in 2020 and a 92.5 Pass-Rush grade in 2021. P.) Just had an awesome Combine Performance and was one of the biggest standouts of them all (Nik Bonitto put up a superb showing at the NFL Combine; he ran an electric 4.54 40-yard dash, had a 35.5-inch vertical, and also hit 120 inches on the broad jump). (2020) (2021) As an FSU fan I love Jermaine Johnson II but imo Nik Bonitto not being being mentioned alongside of him is criminal and George freaking Karlaftis being mentioned ahead of him is absolutely, disgusting.

lark25 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 For me it's the guy you mentioned- Karlaftis is a better prospect. You're talking up a 35.5 vert. Big George had a 38" vert at 20lbs more. Bigger, stronger, more explosive. If he puts up a decent 3 cone and 10yd then criminally so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTTRUTH Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Lots of guys. Not sure how to pick one. Jake Ferguson: Elite at nothing. Good at everything. Just a baller. Will be a great #2 for 10 years imo. Probably goes later than 90. Sean Rhyan: Lots of guys ahead of him being talked about. Reminds me of Joel Bitonio. Going to kick inside and be a fluid people mover. With decent coaching his ceiling is higher than the hype. Jerome Ford: Not a workhorse back. But I think he’s being overlooked. Shows some power and definitely real agility. Can do some damage in the passing game. Decent blocker. He’ll give you probably a 3rd round value later than that. I think he’d be an excellent complimentary piece for a team like Tennessee or Cincinnati. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Dylan Parham and Jalen Tolbert for me. Hard to pick between the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjon1990 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Khalil Shakir or Calvin Austin play for a P5 program, they're getting 1st round love. Other than that, Jack Coan. Dude has a shot at being 2022's Davis Mills story. He's not flashy and probably never a franchise QB, but he's going to be a top tier backup with potential for more, and he could easily be a day 3 pick. There's no need to, but I'd take him in the 3rd and be very happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Bonitto weighing in at 248 really helped his stock. Estimates before had him in the low 230s which is just unacceptable in a 4-3. My underrated guys have risen a lot. In particular Boye Mafe, Chad Muma, and Tariq Woolen. Other guys I've got my eye on are TE Jalen Wydermeyer, G Darian Kinnard, S Nick Cross, and S Kerby Joseph (yes before the combine 40s) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Most of mine have slowly climbed. Maybe not stars but these guys will carry their draft spots imo; S Bryan Cook CB Josh Jobe Edge Alex Wright TE James Mitchell WR Erik Ezukanma RB Tyrion Davis-Prince 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse326 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Zyon McCollum. The combine showed the athleticism he has and he showed to have the ball skills in college and has the size. Also nice and fluid. Needs a bit of coaching in how to best press and then transition but I think that can be taught. Think he is a #1 CB in the NFL (I don't mean I think he is the best CB in the draft) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 QB: Sam Howell (CBS - QB4 | Trojan QB1) RB: Dameon Pierce (CBS - Unranked | Trojan RB3) WR: Christian Watson (CBS - WR20 | Trojan WR7) TE: Charlie Kolar (CBS - TE7 | Trojan TE3) OT: Ikem Ekwonu (CBS OL4 | Trojan Overall Prospect 2) OG: Tyler Smith (CBS - Unranked | Trojan OG3 [not including Ekwonu]) OC: James Empey (CBS - Unranked | Trojan C4) DE: I was going to say Kingsley Enagbare, but CBS has him as DE4 and that's actually higher than I am on him. DT: Travis Jones (CBS - DT11 | Trojan DT3) LB: Devin Lloyd (CBS - LB2 | Trojan LB1) This is more I think he's a top 15 prospect than just LB2. I guess talent wise Adam Anderson, but his off the field is big no until (if) resolved. CB: I don't know this class has a lot of talent and the order seems pretty all over to me. I think Roger McCreary is the most consistently over rated, followed by Josh Jobe and Kyler Gordon. I guess Kaiir Elam might be my most underrated for usually ranking behind them (or ahead of Jobe), but there are some deeper sleeper CB with insane athleticism that might be "more underrated"? S: Reed Blankenship (CBS - S14 | Trojan S8) K/P: Matt Araisa, I don't follow specialists hype, but really like him and he enters the big boards at round four, but I think is actual value round six. His strength is wild, but sometimes you need a sky'd punt and I'm not sure he has that mode. Rocketing the ball downfield and pinning it is great though. Sebastian Janikowski of punters, strength is 10/10, accuracy/hangtime is lower (don't think anyone takes him before the 4th though). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like to not have Tyler Smith is just WTF. And the Christian Watson and Travis Jones rankings were outdated well before the combine.

BrownLeader Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 No way I could pick just 1. Later round/UFA types I like in no particular order.. TE Nick Muse RB Leddie Brown LB Nate Landman QB E.J. Perry FB Zander Horvath LB Zakoby McClain DT Jabari Ellis S Bralen Trahan S Jaylan Foster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Coby Bryant. His arms are a little short and he didn't run a 4.3 and all of a sudden people are forgetting that he can play CB really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
