  • Elite catch radius and has impressive soft strong hands to help pull down errant passes.
  • He's a powerful open-field runner with agility, and surprising quickness and speed given his size.

He transferred to Tech, but then suffered an ankle injury that sidelined him. He’s now 6-4, 290, and primed to be a problem for ACC teams. White has hit 21 mph despite being almost 300 pounds. He also has vertical-jumped 32 inches and done 38 reps of 225 on the bench press."

  • Dennis has an explosive first step and has the fluidity, flexibility and core strength to chase through traffic and make plays.

  • Reads quarterbacks eyes and reacts quickly to targets in zone coverage.
  • Work in progress as a pass rusher, with up field burst and flexibility to dip and scrape.
  • In coverage, Dennis shows excellent awareness and anticipation when dropping back into zone, and he has the fluidity and speed to run with most tight ends over the middle.
  • Flashes closing speed and agility to reach passers from the blind side or up the middle before they can escape.

  • Has good footwork and technique. Balanced and agile pass protection set with excellent hand placement.
  • Quick out of his stance with the footwork to be effective in front of screens. Willing to get out in front of ballcarriers to take out defensive backs and linebackers.
  • In the run game, Forsyth explodes off the line of scrimmage and consistently gets out to the second level to do damage.
  • Has a stout build with a strong, flexible core. He’s a rock in the middle of the line as a pass protector, with the heavy hands and strong grip to hold his own against bigger defensive tackles.
  • In the run game, he shows good burst off the line of scrimmage, with the ability to win at the point of attack. Forsyth has enough speed and athleticism to move to the second level and land blocks.

  • Maxwell is strong enough in the lower body to hold up at the point of attack, and Maxwell displays a good feel as a grappler in the phone booth, consistently getting blockers off-balance before sending them to the ground.
  • Delivers a strong punch and uses his hands to shed blocks to make plays in the hole or outside the box. Uses lower-body strength to anchor inside.
  • He’s a high-motor player, and he shows good enough hand use, as well as a tight spin move, to win as an edge rusher.
  • Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
  • His spin move is already NFL-caliber, and he displays a very good motor.
  • Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.

  • Is an explosive mover with quickness and speed. He’s at his best attacking downhill, shooting gaps in run support, and disrupting the backfield.
  • Has a solid frame with a strong lower body and much improved bulk. Fluid and rangy with the coordination and loose hips to quickly change directions.
  • Has quick feet and excellent change-of-direction ability, capable of mirroring quickness underneath.
  • Strong hands to make plays on the ball, effective blitzer who shows well-coached technique and awareness.
  • Great on route recognition and has click-and-close ability.
  • Taylor tracks the ball well and does a nice job of getting his head around in plenty of time to avoid flags.

In the nicest way possible, please do some research on the cap and how it works if you want to do trades and FA in your mock. The entire first portion of the mock is just a giant cluster.... of cap errors. Too many to list.

We cannot trade Bakh, so I'm going to pretend that the Addison and McKee aren't in the mock as we don't get pick 13 and they're pretty awful fits anyway. Pretty solid draft picks then.

Can't see us cutting a very talented OT we took in the 3rd after just 1 year. 

The only pick I will complain about is a QB in the 2nd.  That is not in Love's or the Packers best interest.

Paris at 15 would be huge, but I doubt he lasts that long. But you never know.
