33. John Kelly

 

I gave you a like just off where you ranked John Kelly.  He's gonna be a big time steal for someone in this year's draft.  He's the 3rd or 4th best RB in this class IMO.  I have Saquon Barkley and Rashaad Penny rated ahead of him with Ronald Jones II graded exactly the same.

NFL teams will regret it if they let him fall to Day 3.

- Maurice Hurst over Da'Ron Payne is pretty laughable.

- Harold Landry has one move and brings absolutely nothing to the table on first and second downs but he is #2 Edge prospect. 

- No Tyquan Lewis?

- And you are 100 wrong calling Duke Ejiofor a "subpar athlete", just because he isn't a freak doesn't mean he is a subpar athlete.

1. Why is Hurst > Payne laughable?  Payne had Top 5 overall caliber tape in 2 playoff games but otherwise didn't offer consistent pass rush although he's was great vs the run the entire year.  Whereas I don't think there was a more consistently disruptive DL in this class than Hurst all year on film.  The production bears this out as well if you look at their respective market shares: 

Hurst: 96 (solo tackle share)/ 44 (sack share)/ 83 (tackle for loss share)

Payne: 61 (solo tackle share)/ 16 (sack share)/ 11 (tackle for loss share)

For context, no multiple pro bowl DT has ever had Payne's production share scores while Hurst passes the threshold for both multiple pro bowls and all pro.

2. Landry needs to develop a counter but he does not have one move: he can win with speed to power, pure speed rush around the edge, and he has shown a nice long arm move as well.  Furthermore how many Edge rushers have an advanced array of moves coming out of college? I would argue that it's very few.

A) get with the times, the stats argument is old and antiquated 

B) Hurst = 1 gap scheme, Payne = 2 gap scheme. Film and research will tell you of course they won't have similar production 

C) Hurst's hamstrings and lower body isn't NFL starter caliber IMO let alone Pro Bowl caliber, he is going to get washed like dirty laundry in the run game.  

 

As far as Landry? How many rushers came out with an array of moves? Joey Bosa, Von Miller and Aldon Smith just name a few. Also when I brought up bringing  something to the table on first and second down, that basically means bringing something to run stopping which usually occurs on 1st and 2nd downs (which is his greatest weakness)

For me, positional ranking are a waste of time and effort, if they do not include explanations for their rankings. Mayock may not post his explanations for his rankings beside each prospect, but live on TV, he pretty well explains why he likes or dislikes a prospect in his rankings.

Either finish the job or do not waste our time!!!

Really?  C'mon man. I hope I'm misunderstanding your post, otherwise this is a really bad post. Sorry that he didn't take the time to post rankings the way you want them to be presented but instead took the time to "only" do a fairly comprehensive positional ranking and a top 50 overall to boot. Want explanation? Ask him. OP provided an excellent post to generate future discussion within the thread by posting this.

Was feeling a little lazy last night and just added my scouting notes for each player. 

Also, don't quote the entirety of a long post as it wastes our time trying to scroll through it!!!

Feel free to defend yourself, you won't.  Is he probably a sub-package player as a rookie?  Probably, but that doesn't mean he's a one-trick pony or hasn't shown the ability to help in other facets.

Kelly has incredible balance and electric feet, but I prefer Mark Walton from Miami. He's got better burst and as a result I think he's the draft's No. 2 back. Kelly's somewhere in my top 15, I forget where exactly. Great RB class this year, would've been even more loaded if Damien Harris declared.

When has he shown flashes of being a good run defender? He gets demolished in the run game. I did see him stunt inside and come clean on a few plays and get TFL's, but he's not going to hold up as an edge setter. He's purely a nuanced speed rusher.

Watch FSU vs. Boston College from last year. Roderick Johnson made Harold Landry hold his pocket after that game. And Roderick Johnson struggles with speed typically. Landry looked lost and incapable in that game at full health. He is a good athlete with great bend, but he doesn't strike me as someone that's going to do anything in terms of run defense in his career. And it's not really a want-to thing. He does gets after it out there, but he has poor hand usage and is just too frail to deal with guys that much bigger and stronger than he is.

Yeah Mark Walton is a stud. My jaw hit the floor by how bad his NFL combine was though. He's so explosive when you watch him on tape. He's probably not going to be drafted before the 4th round now, but he's going to be a steal for someone.
