2022 NFL Free Agency, Live Updates: NFC East

March 18, 2022 DraftNasty Staff Reports Leave a comment

The NFC East has had its share of movement within the first week of free agency. Quite a bit of it was through its own volition. The Cowboys lost Randy Gregory, but signed one of its top receivers to an extension. The Commanders made a splash by trading for former Colts quarterback Carson Wentz. The Eagles released Pro Bowl defensive tackle Fletcher Cox but kept the centerpiece of its offensive line. As the moves continue, we will keep the updates coming.

2021 NFL Draft Recap: NFC East

May 3, 2021 Troy Jefferson Leave a comment

As you will see in our 2021 NFL Draft Recap, each team selected at least one edge rusher. You could say, The NFC East got defensive in the 2021 NFL Draft! Philadelphia and New York used first round draft picks (DeVonta Smith and Kadarius Toney) to help their young quarterbacks. The Dallas Cowboys and Washington Football Team already have veteran quarterbacks and they chose to add linebackers with versatility: Micah Parsons and Jamin Davis. However, there was more than just linebackers and receivers targeted, Washington, Philadelphia and Dallas selected offensive linemen. Will any of these players propel a division that didn’t have a team finish with over a .500 record in 2021?

Philadelphia Eagles
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 10th overall	Philadelphia Eagles (From Dallas Cowboys)	DeVonta Smith	6’0 166 WR-Alabama	1/1st Round	The 2020 Heisman Trophy winner will get an opportunity to re-unite with his former QB too, just like Waddle and Chase earlier in the draft.
2nd round, 37th overall	Philadelphia Eagles	Landon Dickerson	6’6 326/C-Alabama	56/2nd Round	Dickerson presents a unique multiple skill-set for NFL teams, having started at four different offensive line positions. Availability has always been the concern for the former five-star recruit.
3rd round, 73rd overall	Philadelphia Eagles (From Carolina Panthers)	Milton Williams	6’3 284/DT-DE Louisiana Tech	42/2nd Round	Due to Louisiana Tech’s lack of size on the three-man defensive front, he was used most frequently at the four-or-five-technique defensive end positions. He was also seen occasionally standing up to rush from an outside linebacker spot on third downs. There was a comfort level exhibited in his play to overpower some tackles and interior guards by dropping his shoulder, but he can play effectively with his hands to disengage.
4th round, 123rd overall	Philadelphia Eagles	Zech McPhearson	5'11 195/CB-Texas Tech, Penn State	152/3rd Round	McPhearson, a former four-star recruit, was seen inside as a nickel. McPhearson displayed a good feel of reacting to motion, breaking downhill on the football and running with crossing routes.
5th round, 150th overall	Philadelphia Eagles	Kenneth Gainwell	5’8 203 All-Purpose/Memphis	125/3rd Round	Gainwell is the mini-sized version of former Memphis running back/wide receiver Antonio Gibson (Washington Redskins). Whether he will have the type of impact at the next level is debatable, especially due to his relative lack of bulk.
6th round, 189th overall	Philadelphia Eagles	Marlon Tuipulotu	6'1 308/DT-USC	320/4th Round	Tuipulotu flashes in spots. Never was that more evident than in the first two games of the 2020 campaign, where he flashed improved quickness and burst getting off the snap. Too many times, however, he struggled to hold the point of attack versus double teams
6th round, 191th overall	Philadelphia Eagles	Tarron Jackson	6'2 260/DE-Coastal Carolina	124/3rd Round	Jackson has a strong enough lower base and enough juice to handle run game assignments versus most tight ends and some offensive tackles. The All-Sun Belt defender contains enough length to jolt linemen with one-hand posts and uses those to set up his inside or outside arm-overs.
6th round, 224th overall	Philadelphia Eagles	JaCoby Stevens	6’2 216/S-LB-LSU	266/4th Round	Stevens, a former collegiate wide receiver, brings an intriguing skill-set to the NFL. As a linebacker, he clearly is still learning the nuances of the position but -while doing so- can offer the ability to match tight ends. For that to happen, he has to attack run game concepts the same way he attacks blitz assignments.
7th round, 234th overall	Philadelphia Eagles	Patrick Johnson	6'2 240/OLB-Tulane	251/4th Round	Tulane’s all-time career sack leader does a fine job of creating angles and getting his feet pointed in a path towards the quarterback as a pass rusher. Offensive tackles have a tough time gaining an area on his frame to pin and prevent his upfield charge. 24.5 career QB sacks.
Dallas Cowboys
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 12th overall	Dallas Cowboys (from Philadelphia Eagles)	Micah Parsons	6’3 246 LB-Penn State	2/1st Round	Parsons’ speed goes with rare size at the position. He has a chance to develop in Dan Quinn’s system.
2nd round, 44th overall	Dallas Cowboys	Kelvin Joseph	5’11 1/2” 197/CB-Kentucky, LSU	37/2nd Round	Joseph’s ability to squeeze routes from the outside-in in man or zone coverage is extremely impressive. There will be few cornerbacks in this year’s draft class with his level of fluidity. There were problems with communication in coverage.
3rd round, 75th overall	Dallas Cowboys	Osa Odighizuwa	6’2 280/DT-UCLA	106/3rd Round	His feel for blocking schemes is inconsistent and he is still searching for secondary pass rush counters. Balance is something that needs to be monitored moving forward. At 280 pounds with 10 3/4-inch hands, it seems that he is destined for a role at defensive end in a three-man front.
3rd round, 84th overall	Dallas Cowboys (from Philadelphia Eagles)	Chauncey Golston	6’4 268/DE-Iowa	74/3rd Round	Golston is easily one of the most valuable defensive lineman in this year’s draft. He can play the three-technique defensive tackle on passing downs, possible four-or-five-technique defensive end (three or four-man front) or rush as a stand-up outside linebacker. A veteran defensive coordinator may attempt to use the first-team All-Big Ten defender in all of the above-referenced roles.
3rd round, 99th overall	Dallas Cowboys (Compensatory Pick)	Nahshon Wright	6’4 188/CB-Oregon State	357/5th Round	Wright is a tall corner with good feet and a solid backpedal. His challenge will be to constrict his movements in tight areas when it is time to transition versus quicker receivers. For him to do that, he must find a happy medium between being comfortable and not playing too low. His feet don't always stay planted in the ground when flipping to open or break at 45-or-90-degree angles.
4th round, 115th overall	Dallas Cowboys	Jabril Cox	6’3 233/LB-LSU, North Dakota State	46/2nd Round	He has a number of similarities to former Washington LB Cory Littleton (Rams, Raiders) There were questions about Littleton’s pure physicality coming out of school. Cox’s size, body composition and pass coverage skills point to him being further advanced at this same stage.
4th round, 138th overall	Dallas Cowboys (Compensatory Pick)	Josh Ball	6’7 308/OT-Marshall, FSU	215/4th Round	Ball’s entire career has featured a number of up-and-downs, but his final two years at Marshall represented a modicum of consistency. He is quick-footed, balanced and massive.
5th round, 178th overall	Dallas Cowboys (Compensatory Pick)	Simi Fehoko	6'4 224/WR-Stanford	142/3rd Round	We are impressed with how sudden Fehoko uses his stick moves to move the cornerback off the spot; particularly for a man of his size. 16 reps-225 lbs, 4.47 40-yd, 34 1/2” VJ
6th round, 192nd overall	Dallas Cowboys (from Detroit Lions)	Quinton Bohanna	6'4 345/DT-Kentucky	262/4th Round	NFL bloodlines. For a 350-pound defensive lineman, Bohanna will surprise with his quickness laterally to escape blockers. As a result, he has a tendency to get tied up leaning on interior offensive linemen due to inconsistent hand usage.
6th round, 227th overall	Dallas Cowboys (Compensatory Pick)	Israel Mukuamu	6'4 212/CB-South Carolina	162/3rd Round	Has started at both safety and CB. Very good ball skills have shown up throughout his career.
7th round, 238th overall	Dallas Cowboys	Matt Farniok	6’5 311/OL-Nebraska	326/5th Round	It was really no surprise that Farniok, a two-time team captain and four-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, displayed positional versatility in 2020. The team’s 2019 Offensive Lineman of the Year had developed into at least a serviceable right tackle before making the switch to right guard full-time in 2020.
New York Giants
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 20th overall	New York Giants (from Chicago Bears)	Kadarius Toney	5’11 189 All-Purpose/Florida	49/2nd Round	His ability to get in-and-out of traffic with the ball in his hands makes him a threat as an all-purpose prospect and slot WR.
2nd round, 50th overall	New York Giants (from Miami Dolphins)	Azeez Ojulari	6’2 249/DE-OLB Georgia	45/2nd Round	Ojulari is a defensive end/outside linebacker with underrated strength and positive hand usage. There were occasions where his size created limitations, but he generally exhibited satisfactory upper body strength.
3rd round, 71st overall	New York Giants (from Denver Broncos)	Aaron Robinson	5’11 190/Nickel-UCF, Alabama	58/2nd Round	Robinson fits the bill of what you need at the nickel back posi-tion in today’s NFL. Some of the most popular NFL route concepts feature crossers, in-breaking dig patterns. Of all the corners or nickel backs in this year’s draft class, he closes distance on these types of concepts with the most urgency.
4th round, 116th overall	New York Giants	Elerson G. Smith	6’6 262/DE-Northern Iowa	107/3rd Round	We feel he gives teams options because he may be able to slide inside on third downs and play some three-technique defensive tackle. A viable argument can be made that his skill-set could actually be best served as a stand-up rush outside linebacker for 3-4 teams.
6th round, 196th overall	New York Giants	Gary Brightwell	6’1 218/RB-Arizona	413/5th Round	Brightwell brought attitude to the table as a runner at the collegiate level. He combines decent vision with enough awareness in pass protection.
6th round, 201st overall	New York Giants (from Arizona Cardinals)	Rodarius Williams	6'0 189/CB-Oklahoma State	197/4th Round	Playing off-man could be a bit of a challenge as he has to transition from the junction limit in college football to the NFL. A solid prospect with NFL bloodlines, he is following in the footsteps of his younger brother, ‘Greedy’ Williams (Cleveland Browns)
Washington Football Team
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 19th overall	Washington Football Team	Jamin Davis	6’4 234 LB-Kentucky	61/2nd Round	HC Ron Rivera finds a linebacker who has the traits to become like the LBs he had in Carolina.
2nd round, 51st overall	Washington Football Team	Samuel Cosmi	6’6 314/OT-Texas	62/2nd Round	Cosmi has reserved a spot in scouts’ attention for the better portion of a two-year period. He’s balanced, quick and fluid in his movements at the left tackle spot.
3rd round, 74th overall	Washington Football Team	Benjamin St. Juste	6’3 205/CB-Minnesota, Michigan	192/4th Round	His footwork is clean, and this is why he was able to defend so effectively in the Red Zone. Ball skills are important. St. Juste didn’t have any interceptions, but he played through his inside shoulder to stay in-phase with wideouts in this part of the field.
3rd round, 82nd overall	Washington Football Team	Dyami Brown	6’1 189/WR-UNC	86/3rd Round	The former prep level 200-meter sprinter tracks the football over either shoulder and has shown good spatial awareness along the back end lines or sidelines. He has solid body control to adjust to poorly thrown passes. The biggest issue teams will have regarding the first-team All-ACC speedster revolves around the concentration lapses. They came in the form of penalties and dropped passes.
4th round, 124th overall	Washington Football Team	John Bates	6’5 259/TE-Boise State	226/4th Round	Bates is a smooth tight end with excellent size, deceptive stride length and good catch radius for the position. He has been used as an insert blocker in school, down tight end and occasional flexed-out slot receiver.
5th round, 163rd overall	Washington Football Team	Darrick Forrest	6'0 200/S-Cincinnati	136/3rd Round	While teammate James Wiggins has received quite a bit of attention while in school, Forrest was a steady hand with the Bearcats. Forrest is instinctive, plays fast, disguises coverage and contributes on all four downs.
6th round, 225th overall	Washington Football Team (from Philadelphia Eagles compensatory selection)	Cameron Cheeseman	6’4 237/LS-Michigan	565/N/A	Posted a 0.69 second long snap on his first snap of the 2020 Citrus Bowl (1st QTR/14:09). Posted a .72 long snap on his second punt (1st QTR/11:56, Alabama ‘20). Challenged by pure foot speed in coverage.
7th round, 240th overall	Washington Football Team (from Philadelphia Eagles)	William Bradley-King	6’3 254/DE-OLB-Arkansas State	161/3rd Round	One of the things that Bradley-King will have to do better at the next level revolves around timing snap counts. This is something that we think he should be able to correct. We think his effort and tenacity have been first-rate dating back to his time at Arkansas State.
7th round, 246th overall	Washington Football Team	Shaka Toney	6’3 238/DE-Penn State	195/4th Round	There is some polish to Toney's pass rushing skill-set, but his size gets him swallowed up by bigger tackles. The positive is that he has enough wingspan and length to go to pole moves from time-to-time and that may be able to set up some of his counters.
7th round, 258th overall	Washington Football Team (from Miami Dolphins)	Dax Milne	6’0 193/WR-BYU	266/4th Round	In studying Milne, it is important to watch him as he gets into the fourth or fifth steps of his route. Often times, he begins to idle his stride to gauge the defensive back’s technique before re-accelerating.

2020 NFL Draft recap: NFC East

April 29, 2020 Corey Chavous Leave a comment

Dallas Cowboys	Notable picks: With the deflection of former starter Byron Jones, the team went with a player who contains similar length in Diggs. He is certainly more of a ballhawk, but can he provide the consistency in coverage that Jones gave them over a two-year period. It will be worth monitoring the development of Robinson II. His profile may actually be closer to Jones’ than Diggs.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (17)	CeeDee Lamb	6’2 198 WR-Oklahoma	11/1^st Round	Lamb has all of the requisite tools to win with both savvy and quickness as a route runner. He has a solid set of tools to be a complement within the Dallas passing game initially. We expect him to see some time in the slot.
2 (51)	Trevon Diggs	6’1 205 CB-Alabama	84/2nd Round	Diggs brings more than NFL bloodlines to the table. He is aggressive getting his hands on WRs at the line of scrimmage. Finding a balance in that aggression and bringing it to run support will ramp up his development.
3 (82)	Neville Gallimore	6’2 304 DT-Oklahoma	143/3rd Round	Gallimore had some issues with balance in school and that is probably why he lasted until this spot in the draft. For a player with his level of quickness and power, it was a bit surprising that he didn’t make more plays in school.
4 (123)	Reggie Robinson II	6’1 205 CB-Tulsa	93/3^rd Round	Robinson II didn’t get the ink of some of the other big CBs in this year’s draft and maybe that should not come as a surprise. He has always been competitive in coverage and finished better in 2019.
4 (146)	Tyler Biadasz	6’4 314 OC-Wisconsin	59/2nd Round	Biadasz was not a dominator in school but he was assignment-sound. The former prep level baseball player led an offensive line that was ravaged by graduation from 2018 and did so admirably.
5 (179)	Bradlee Anae	6’3 257 DE-Utah	100/3^rd Round	Due to sub-standard edge rusher workout times Anae fell in the draft. This came after a dominant Senior Bowl showing that showcased his feel for getting off the ball.
7 (220)	Ben DiNucci	6’2 210 QB-James Madison, Pittsburgh	555/7th Round	DiNucci’s moxie may have influenced this selection. The former Pitt Panther quietly was a couple of inches away from leading the Dukes to a national championship in 2019.

Utah’s Bradlee Anae (No. 6 pictured) forces a fumble versus Northwestern running back Isaiah Bowser (No. 25 picutred) in the fourth quarter. He finished 2018 with 51 tackles, eight quarterback sacks, 15.5 tackles for losses, two forced fumbles and three pass break-ups. The Cowboys selected Anae in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft (179th overall).

New York Giants	Notable pick: The team would be satisfied if Holmes can come in and lock down a nickel role within their scheme. The team has quietly assembled enough size on the edges, so it will be imperative for him to learn the various roles of an inside position while also contributing on special teams.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (4)	Andrew Thomas	6’5 317 OT-Georgia	6/1st Round	Thomas has the occasional top-heavy look but he remains relatively consistent establishing a lockout on the perimeter. He won’t be able to get by with relatively in the NFL and his overall
2 (40)	Xavier McKinney	6’0 201 S-Alabama	41/2^nd Round	McKinney will be able to play a variety of roles for the Giants just like he did with the Crimson Tide. His best characteristic comes from his pre-snap cognitive ability in diagnosing the opposition’s intentions.
3 (71)	Matt Peart	6’5 312 OT-UConn	72/2^nd Round	Peart is by no means a finished product, but that doesn’t mean starting is out of the question. He is most comfortable at RT, but he has started on both sides of the OL in school.
4 (110)	Darnay Holmes	5’10 195 CB-UCLA	112/3^rd Round	Holmes lack of width (69-inch wingspan) hurt his cause and forced him to fall. Penalties were a bit of an issue in 2019 but he found a way to compete week-to-week.
5 (150)	Shane Lemieux	6’4 310 OG-Oregon	299/4th Round	You will not find many arguments surrounding Lemieux’s work ethic and determination. He was a consistent presence at OG for the Ducks over a four-year period. He finished his career with 52 consecutive starts.
6 (183)	Cam Brown	6’5 233 LB-Penn State	210/4th Round	Brown has been used to run up the seams with TEs, cover down over the slot and off the edge as an occasional rush artist. He seemed to be most comfortable in school filtering back inside from an overhang LB spot.

New York Giants first-round pick Andrew Thomas (No. 71 pictured) started at both right and left tackle for the ‘Dawgs during his three-year stay in Athens.

7 (218)	Carter Coughlin	6’3 236 LB-Minnesota	286/4th Round	Coughlin finished his career with 22 QB sacks and 40 TFLs. When you combine that with his 4.57 speed, then the team may have gotten a core special teams contributor. He starred on the kickoff team way back in 2016 (see Holiday Bowl).
7 (238)	Tremari “T.J.” Brunson	6’1 230 LB-South Carolina	392/5th Round	Brunson may not completely fit the bill in terms of size, but he does play bigger than his measurements. He had some lower body extremity issues in school, but he appeared in 49 games (283 tackles, 21 TFLs).
7 (247)	Chris Williamson	6’0 205 NB/S-Minnesota, Florida	421/5th Round	Williamson was often tasked with covering fast slot WRs one-on-one and held his own. Hand placement is an issue but his work as a blitzer shows promise. The former Florida Gator should compete favorably in training camp.
7 (255)	Tae Crowder	6’3 235 (E) LB-Georgia	463/6th Round	Crowder showed time-and-time again that he is capable of chasing plays down laterally. He leaves some tackle opportunities on the field because he does not always get his head across the bow of the opponent.

Philadelphia Eagles	Notable pick: Reagor has a role to fill in the team’s offense as the Wild Card type of player. If he can execute a variety of different responsibilities, then the Eagles will be able to use his elusive skill set to maximize one-on-one matchups on a down-to-down basis.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (21)	Jalen Reagor	5’11 205 All-purpose-TCU	49/2^nd Round	Reagor simply needs to find his way as a route runner to take advantage of his outstanding physical tools. He runs well after the catch, tracks the ball down the field and makes defenders miss in space.
2 (53)	Jalen Hurts	6’1 222 QB-Oklahoma, Alabama	127/3^rd Round	Hurts earned kudos at both collegiate stops for his leadership, poise and overall strength. It would not be a shock to see him involved in a number of packages as a rookie.
3 (103)	Davion Taylor	6’0 224 LB-Colorado	225/4th Round	The Pac-12 100-meter sprinter runs in the 4.4s, closes ground on routes in front of him and actually finds a way to be active week-to-week. He simply needs more repetitions. We think he has special teams core (all four teams) potential at the next level. The team will likely incorporate him into some of its nickel/dime packages.
4 (127)	K’Von Wallace	5’11 206 DB-Clemson	82/2nd Round	Wallace didn’t always finish interception opportunities in school, but he did often put himself into good position in one-on-one situations. His ability to time his entries in the run game was subsidized by consistent one-on-one coverage in the slot.
4 (145)	Jack Driscoll	6’5 307 OT-Auburn, UMass	221/4th Round	Driscoll continued to get better during school and his footwork was an area of focus. Now he needs to concentrate on gaining more core strength to handle speed-to-power in the NFL. This will be the case at either OG or OT, where he hopes to win a seventh or eighth role in 2020.
5 (168)	John Hightower	6’1 185 All-purpose- Boise State	259/4th Round	Hightower continued to improve every year in school but finally put it all together in 2019. For a team that went into the draft wanting to add speed at WR, Hightower has some capabilities.
6 (196)	Shaun Bradley	6’1 235 LB-Temple	196/4^th Round	Bradley has some footwork issues to clean up at the exchange LB spot. However, he will add plenty of speed to a defense and special teams unit that values quality backups.
6 (200)	Quez Watkins	6’0 185 WR-Southern Miss	124/3rd Round	Speed is the name of the game in the pass-happy NFL, and Watkins brings plenty of it to the table. He seemed to build to an even different top gear with the ball in his hands on quick RPO slants and posts. Now he needs to work on getting off of press coverage.

Philadelphia Eagles sixth-round pick Quez Watkins concluded his impressive three-year run at Southern Miss by averaged 18.2 yards per reception as a junior (1,145 yards, 6 TDs).

6 (210)	Prince Tega Wanogho	6’5 308 OT-Auburn	141/3rd Round	Tega Wanogho did not have a chance to show off his impressive tools in the postseason. At this point in the process, the team could afford to take a flyer on a player who may not reach his peak for another three-year period.
7 (233)	Casey Toohill	6’4 250 OLB-Stanford	260/4th Round	Toohill is a fast, athletic long LB with enough speed to play multiple spots. Coverage is a question mark, as is his ability to transfer speed-to-power as a pass rusher.

Washington Redskins	Notable pick: Although the Redskins have a number of different types of receivers on its roster, there is no one other than Cam Sims that contains Gandy-Golden’s size. If he can transition effectively to the NFL, it could open up the team’s Red Zone offense.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (2)	Chase Young	6’5 264 DE-Ohio State	2/1^st Round	The Redskins are hoping that Young turns into not only a transformational player but that he can also open up possibilities for the talented Montez Sweat and Ryan Kerrigan on the other side. He may see time at DT on third downs.
3 (66)	Antonio Gibson	6’0 223 All-Purpose-Memphis	25/2nd Round	There simply aren’t players with the size/speed quotient that Gibson brings to the table at 228 pounds. It would not be a shock to see the team use im in the backfield as a dot RB, slot WR or even outside receiver. The all-purpose dynamo produced without a lot of touches in school.
4 (108)	Saahdiq Charles	6’4 303 OT-LSU	189/4th Round	Charles bends, latches and slides effectively. What he hasn’t been able to do is stay on the field. Whether it was a suspension, injury or otherwise, the former Tiger was not dependable week-to-week. Perhaps the NFL opportunity will change his tunes.
4 (142)	Antonio Gandy-Golden	6’4 223 WR-Liberty	95/3rd Round	Gandy-Golden didn’t necessarily perform as well during the testing portion of the postseason as he did on the field. It will not come as a shock if he develops into the team’s primary Red Zone threat early in his career.
5 (156)	Keith Ismael	6’3 309 OC-San Diego State	113/3rd Round	Ismael -a junior-entry- probably would have not gone much higher in next year’s draft and that may have influenced his decision to come out early. His quickness (and experience at three positions) will add another layer to the Redskins running game.
5 (162)	Khaleke Hudson	5’11 224 S/LB-Michigan	263/4th Round	Hudson may have gotten dinged because he doesn’t really have a true position at the next level. At least, not yet. We think he can be a sub-package LB with enough zone capability to cover the flats and beyond.

Washington Redskins fifth-round draft pick Khaleke Hudson blocked five kicks during his career at Michigan.

7 (216)	Kamren Curl	6’1 206 S-Arkansas	150/3rd Round	Curl – a former cornerback- plays faster on the field than he times in T-shirts and shorts. He reacts to what he sees on the football field and plays with anticipation.
7 (226)	James Smith-Williams	6’3 265 DE-NC State	310/5th Round	Smith-Williams was probably as accomplished off the field as he was on it. A subpar senior year caused the workout warrior to slip in the draft, but injuries were probably more of the cause. However, Ron Rivera has had success with these types of DL (see Mario Addison) in the past.

2019 NFL Draft recap, pick-by-pick: NFC East

April 28, 2019 Neverthere Leave a comment

The New York Giants had the sixth overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft and selected former Duke quarterback Daniel Jones. Their selection set off a series of events in what shapes up to be a very competitive division in 2019. We take a look at every pick in the division made this past weekend.

NFC EAST

Hill (No. 9 pictured), the Dallas Cowboys second-round selection, actually starred as a 320-pound freshman defensive end under former defensive coordinator Erik Chinander.

Dallas Cowboys	Notable picks: Hill may be the pick that the team looks back on eventually with a smile. His immense athleticism could provide matchup problems from the inside in Year 1. Pollard’s play speed varies, but his downhill running style gives the team options in the return game.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
2 (58)	Trysten Hill	UCF	74/2nd Round	We talked to one anonymous offensive coordinator who stated that “Hill was the best defensive lineman they had seen.” This same coordinator had also faced other top-notch Power 5 defenses. It lays credence to the amount of talent that the 300-plus pound Hill possesses.
3 (90)	Connor McGovern	OG/Penn State	98/3rd Round	The Cowboys had a revolving door at the left guard spot in 2018 and McGovern- a former U.S. Army All-American-got on the field early for the Nittany Lions, starting nine games as a freshman. He is a bully on the football field who works better at guard than center.
4 (128)	Tony Pollard	All-Purpose/Memphis	161/3rd Round	The NCAA’s all-time leading kickoff returner in terms of TD returns was also an effective dot running back and slot receiver. He could be a steal in the fourth round. Career Stats: 4,860 all-purpose yards-139 carries for 941 yards (6.8 YPC) and 9 TDs; 104 receptions for 1,292 yards (12.4 YPR) and 9 TDs; 87 KOR, 2,616 yards (30.1 yds/KR) and an NCAA-record 7 KR TDs
5 (158)	Michael Jackson	CB/Miami (Fla.)	149/3rd Round	Jackson had a solid two-year run for the Hurricanes subsidized by an above average showing during 2019 East-West Shrine practices. He is a very good challenger versus wide receivers, particularly bigger receiving targets. He is a cornerback that does better versus outside releases than inside releases in press-man.
5 (165)	Joe Jackson	DE/ Miami (Fla.)	180/3rd Round	Jackson can be a bit unorthodox in his style, making it tough for offensive tackles to gauge his techniques. Despite some stiffness, he posted 138 tackles, 24 QB sacks, 37.5 TFLs, 5 FFs, 2 FRs, INT and 5 PBUs in 39 games.
6 (213)	Donovan Wilson	S/Texas A&M	168/3rd Round	Wilson came to Texas A&M with a reputation for turning the ball over and didn’t disappoint in school. A long defender, his versatility extended to the nickel, cornerback and safety spots in school.
7 (218) Acquired from Oakland	Mike Weber	RB/Ohio State	347/5th Round	The former U.S. Army All-American got off to a hot start in Columbus, but that has since cooled down after a rash of nagging lower extremity injuries lingered over a two-year period.
7 (241)	Jalen Jelks	DE/Oregon	174/3rd Round	Jelks, a former high school interior DL, can move around the defensive front with ease. He is more athletic than his testing numbers suggest.

Corey Chavous — New York Giants first-round draft pick Daniel Jones’ 85-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver T.J. Rahming in the 2018 Independence Bowl was one of five touchdown passes in a career-best performance.

New York Giants	Notable picks: Although the Giants made several good selections, this entire draft will ultimately come down to how the team transitions from Eli Manning to Daniel Jones. GM Dave Gettleman and his scouting department deserve credit for getting early-round value with Love, the Slaytons and Ballentine. For the second straight year, Gettleman decided to draft a player from Georgia’s defense (2018-Lorenzo Carter, third round).
Round, Selection	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (6)	Daniel Jones	Duke	73/2nd Round	The Giants believe that Jones can be an Eli Manning-clone, but perhaps with better athleticism. Jones started 36 games in his career and finished it with six touchdowns in an MVP performance in the 2018 Independence Bowl.
1 (17) Acquired from the Cleveland Browns in the Odell Beckham, Jr. and Olivier Vernon trade	Dexter Lawrence	Clemson	9/1st Round	After taking its heir apparent to Eli Manning early, the Giants decide to bet on the third Clemson DL to go off on the board. Can Lawrence return to his 2016 ACC Rookie of the Year form? It may not matter. He will line up over the center in the team’s three-man fronts and occasionally line up over offensive guards in their four-man looks.
1 (30) Acquired from the Seattle Seahawks	Deandre Baker	Georgia	36/2nd Round	Baker’s toughness will be a good fit for the Giants. He has a chance to vie for a starting role in Year 1. The big key for him will be finding a balance in transition during the move area for wide receivers (12-to-16 yards).
3 (95)	Oshane Ximines	DE/Old Dominion	148/3rd Round	Ximines (Troy Jefferson’s Player to Watch in our 2018 Old Dominion preview) has plenty of the characteristics needed to produce as a 30-front outside linebacker. While only an adequate bender, he uses a quick-footed nature to escape offensive tackles. He seemed most comfortable rushing from the right side in the film viewed.
4 (108)	Julian Love	CB/Notre Dame	68/2nd Round	Love’s gambling style resulted in a number of pick-six opportunities in 2017, and he finished on most of them. The consensus All-American has outstanding instincts and quickness.
5 (143)	Ryan Connelly	LB/Wisconsin	237/4th Round	Connelly’s toughness shined through the entire 2018 season. Despite playing through injury, he produced at nearly the exact level as he had in 2017. He is not a thumper but is capable of getting low to tackle. Connelly ends up getting the draft call over partner and All-Big Ten linebacker T.J. Edwards.
5 (171)	Darius Slayton	WR/Auburn	127/3rd Round	Speed is a big part of the equation whenever a receiver averages 20 yards per catch over a three-year period. Slayton has no problems running by defensive backs. He caught three passes for 163 yards and three touchdowns in the 2018 Music City Bowl. His body language gives away intermediate route concepts because he doesn’t come off the ball with consistent forward lean.
6 (180)	Corey Ballentine	CB/Washburn	50/2nd Round	He has excellent feet, hip flexibility, toughness and return skills. Working on staying lower in his backpedal will put yet another tool in his toolbox, but he already can close distances from a variety of angles.
7 (232) Acquired from Minnesota	George Asafo-Adjei	OL/Kentucky	583/6th Round	Plus size. Praised for his versatility within the program. Heavy puncher. Although he started primarily at the right tackle spot, he can backup several positions. His impressive Pro Day performance likely earned him a draft slot.
7 (245) Acquired from Los Angeles	Chris Slayton	DL-Syracuse	123/3rd Round	It could be argued that the 700-pound squatter has as much lower body strength as the team’s 17th overall pick in Lawrence. He is not an accomplished pass rusher but he finished his career with 32.5 tackles for losses. Despite the Orange winning 10 games in 2018, Slayton was the team’s only draft pick.

Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins passed for 4,831 yards (70%), 50 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 2018.

Washington Redskins	Notable picks: Haskins may carry a bit of a chip on his shoulder due to his slight fall simply because the Giants play in the same division. It will be fun to track future Jones versus Haskins matchups. He will pair up with his Buckeye teammate McLaurin in the third round, and we felt that he carried second-round value. Harmon could become grand larceny in the sixth round, as could either Moreland or Brailford in the seventh. Bruce Allen and Doug Williams put together a well-constructed draft designed to grab another pass rusher, a future quarterback and more competition at receiver. Linebacker is still a question mark for the team entering 2019, especially after the release of Zach Brown. There will be a lot of pressure on Reuben Foster to finally come into his own.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (15)	Dwayne Haskins	Ohio State	27/2nd Round	Haskins passed for 50 touchdowns in his only year as a starter at the collegiate level. He provides insurance in case Alex Smith is unable to return from a catastrophic leg injury in 2018. The All-Big Ten signal-caller will compete with former Broncos QB Case Keenum.
1 (26) Acquired from Indianapolis	Montez Sweat	Mississippi State	8/1st Round	The Redskins needed to upgrade their pass rush and Sweat was likely the best player left on its board. Aside from dynamic testing numbers, the former Michigan State Spartan stood out over the last two years on the field for the Bulldogs with underrated effort.
3 (76)	Terry McLaurin	WR/Ohio State	30/2nd Round	McLaurin caught 11 TD passes from Dwayne Haskins in 2018. After a strong Senior Bowl week of practices which clearly defined him as the week’s best route runner, it leaves one to wonder what his production would have been like as its No. 1 featured receiver. Aside from the ability to win off the line of scrimmage, he is one of the better gunners in this year’s draft. He finished his career with 17 tackles.
4 (112)	Bryce Love	RB/Stanford	110/3rd Round	Love went nearly exactly at his position on our Big Board, but he may have gone much higher if he had not suffered an ACL injury late in the year. Ankle issues were also a concern during his career. The fact that he carried the ball 97 less times as a senior may have saved him wear-and-tear in the minds of some entering this year’s draft.
4 (131)	Wes Martin	OG/Indiana	N/A	The Hoosiers team captain may have surprised some by going ahead of teammate Brandon Knight. His ability to create forward movement in the run game may be underrated. Martin did 38 reps at 225 pounds on his Pro Day.
5 (153)	Ross Pierschbacher	OC/Alabama	314/4th Round	It is not often that a high profile offensive lineman from the state of Iowa gets out of the state. Pierschbacher more than justified his national ranking as a prep level lineman. He has solid initial quickness, positive on-field movement and decent overall awareness. He will need some help if left on an island versus elite interior pass rushers.
5 (173)	Cole Holcomb	LB/UNC	272/4th Round	Despite being a good overall athlete, the second-team All-ACC linebacker did not have one scholarship offer coming out of high school. The former soccer player has good feet on the field. He is a bit of a pumped up 230-plus pounds. A workout warrior, he caught the attention of NFL scouts with his 4.46 speed, 6.77 3-cone and 4.15 20-yard short shuttle times in pre-draft workouts. He also went 11-feet in the broad jump.
6 (206)	Kelvin Harmon	WR/NC State	108/3rd Round	Harmon says he likes Michael Thomas (Saints) because their frames are similar. We think he plays the game at the right clip. His play strength and 218-pound frame make it tough for defensive backs to work through and around. He is a grinder who could stick.
7 (227)	Jimmy Moreland	CB-Nickel/James Madison	164/3rd Round	There is really not much more Moreland could have done while at James Madison. He covered instinctively, was willing in run support and finished plays on the ball as well as any cornerback in the 2019 NFL Draft class. He finished his career with 18 interceptions (363 yards, 6 TDs), but he was knocked for his 73 1/4-inch wingspan.
7 (253)	Jordan Brailford	DE-OLB/Oklahoma State	171/3rd Round	Brailford did exactly what he was supposed to do during the 2019 postseason. At every turn he not only met expectations, but often exceeded them. This was even evident when he showed up over 250 pounds at the 2019 NFL Combine. On the field, he put up 28 tackles for losses the last two years with efficient work using roll moves, slithering gaps on line games and an occasional inside club.

Miller (No. 48 pictured), Penn State’s Co-MVP in 2018, posted 12.5 quarterbacks and 26 tackles for loss over the last two seasons.

Philadelphia Eagles	Notable pick: For a team that prides itself on pass rushers, the team’s fourth-round pick in Miller has a chance to be more than what many may bargain for. While his statistics don’t represent it, he was always at his best versus the best competition. For the second straight year, the Eagles take a defensive end with upside in the fourth round (2018-Josh Sweat).
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (22) Acquired from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for its 25th overall pick	Andre Dillard	OT/Washington State	13/1st Round	Dillard has the ability to pass protect at a high level and he will be tasked to become the team’s bookend opposite Lane Johnson. After being a serviceable Pac-12 tackle in a pass-happy offense, will his workout numbers translate to becoming a dominant force on the field?
2 (53) Acquired from Baltimore	Miles Sanders	RB/Penn State	49/2nd Round	Sanders came to Penn State ranked as the No. 1 running back in the entire country by several recruiting services. He is adequate in blitz pick-up and -although largely unproven as a route runner- possesses soft hands. As he moves on to the NFL, he will become more aware of his ball security.
2 (57)	J.J. Arcega-Whiteside	WR/Stanford	100/3rd Round	Arcega-Whiteside, the 2014 South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year, and former high school basketball standout, brings a high-flying style to the field. It will be important for the Eagles to move him around some, like they did at Stanford.
4 (138)	Shareef Miller	DE/Penn State	138/4th Round	Miller -a junior-entry who ranked 138th on our Big Board- could prove to be a better pro than collegian. He is better with his hand in the dirt than out of a two-point stance and often translates speed-to-power on line games and stunts. He bought into DL coach Sean Spencer’s various techniques the last two seasons.
5 (167) Acquired from New England via Los Angeles via Kansas City	Clayton Thorson	QB/Northwestern	178/3rd Round	His moxie, arm strength, athleticism and overall pocket presence complement above average size. He won 35 of his 53 career games in school and was 3-1 as a starter in bowl games (didn’t finish the Music City Bowl). He did, however, bring his team back from a 20-3 deficit in the 2018 Holiday Bowl.

New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys, 9-16-18: In-game report

September 18, 2018 Troy Jefferson Leave a comment

In a classic NFC East battle, the Dallas Cowboys (1-1) and the New York Giants (0-2) turned back the clock and played a style of football reminiscent of their 1990s encounters. The Cowboys prevailed 20-13. DraftNasty’s Troy Jefferson gives his impressions in this in-game report:

Cowboys defense

Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 33-of-49 passes but averaged just 4.4 yards per attempt on Sunday night.

If it hasn’t already, the game ball should go to defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli. The Cowboys harassed the Giants offense all game, holding their division rival to 35 rushing yards and sacking Eli Manning six times. Marinelli utilized his traditional single high safety looks with a few twists. Throughout the game, the fifth-year Cowboys defensive coordinator threw in some slot blitzes and twisting stunts along the defensive line. Manning was forced to run off his spot and settle for checkdowns. Even when he had time, he “hopped” in the pocket and didn’t set his feet to throw. A good example of this was in the second quarter on third down when Manning panicked and rushed a throw that went behind his intended receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. The Giants addressed their skill positions in the offseason but Dallas took advantage of an offensive line and a quarterback that were out of sync.

Cowboys kicking game

Much to the dismay of Cowboys fans, Dan Bailey was released before the season. Bailey, who had an 88-percent field goal accuracy percentage over his seven-year career, was replaced with 28-year old rookie Brett Maher. Maher missed his only field goal attempt from 47 yards against the Panthers in Week 1, but did go 2-of-2 against the Giants. The kicks were from 37 yards and 29 yards respectively. Maher wasn’t tested in Week 2 with long range attempts but his progress over the season will be worth monitoring. In a division which is so heavily balanced, special teams could decide who makes the playoffs and who doesn’t.

Saquon Barkley

The Giants second overall draft pick has showed through two games that he can contribute in multiple ways. Dallas looked to stack the box against the run while also avoiding the home run ball to receivers Odell Beckham and Sterling Shepard. Despite rushing for just 28 yards, Barkley caught 14 passes for 80 yards. The rookie from Penn State has transferred his open field deceptiveness from college to the NFL. On one play in the second quarter, Barkley caught the ball in the flat by beating the Cowboys linebackers to the outside and then used a spin move to avoid safety Kavon Frazier to gain a few extra yards. Look for head coach Pat Shurmur to continue to tailor the playbook to get Barkley more quick touches in the open field, whether that be in the running or passing game.

2018 NFL Draft recap, pick-by-pick: NFC East

April 29, 2018 Neverthere Leave a comment

NFC EAST

Dallas Cowboys	Vander Esch hopes to bring championships to the Cowboys over the next few years. Notable picks: Vander Esch may prove to be the difference-maker that the Cowboys envision with his versatility. Armstrong’s uneven pre-draft workouts are not at all an indication of his on-field burst and athleticism. Williams adds some swing backup insurance and could outplay his original draft position.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (19)	Leighton Vander Esch 6’4 256	Boise State	36 (2^nd Round)	Athletic former basketball player has to become better in his stack-and-shed. Underrated range in coverage.
2 (50)	Connor Williams 6’5 296	Texas	3 (1^st Round)	Williams’ injury in 2017 following an inauspicious start to his junior campaign. When he’s on top of his game, the finish is in place.
3 (81)	Michael Gallup WR-6’1 205	Colorado St.	145 (3^rd Round)	Gallup wins outside the numbers and plays with a physical style that is even stronger than his sturdy 205-pound nature suggests play-to-play.
3 (82)	Tracy Walker DB-6’1 195	Louisiana-Lafayette	191 (4^th Round)	Walker has enough length that he could even get looks at a cornerback spot. A solid tackler, his best football may be ahead of him.
4 (116)	Dorance Armstrong, Jr. OLB-6’4 257	Kansas	49 (2^nd Round)	Armstrong, Jr. has an 84-inch wingspan and produced 20 tackles for loss in 2016.
4 (140)	Dalton Schultz TE-6’4 249	Stanford	296 (4^th Round)	Schultz is an underrated route runner despite producing just 11 third down receptions in school.
5 (171)	Mike White QB-6’4 223	Western Kentucky	155 (3^rd Round)	White has all of the tools of an NFL starting quarterback minus the mobility.
6 (208)	Cedrick Wilson WR-6’3 194	Boise State	78 (3^rd Round)	Wilson produced like a first-round wideout in the MWC. Will his 4.55 speed translate to the perimeter or will he be relegated to the slot?
7 (236)	Bo Scarbrough RB-6’1 228	Alabama	308 (5^th Round)	It may have been a long wait on draft day, but the bruising runner could be a change-of-pace power back if he can contribute on special teams.

New York Giants	Hill (No. 98 pictured) ranked as one of DraftNasty’s Top 3-4 DEs/DTs available in the 2018 NFL Draft. The former Wolfpack star rushed for over 800 yards and 5 TDs as a senior at the prep level. Notable picks: Hernandez is a mammoth blocker who wins on man blocks. If he can win as an angle blocker, it will increase the diversity of the running game. Hill and McIntosh both will add diversity to a defense that finished 27th against the run in 2017.
Round, Selection	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (2)	Saquon Barkley RB-6’0 233	Penn State	2 (1^st Round)	Barkley’s lateral agility is top-notch. How much will he contribute as a check down threat? Based on his collegiate film, he should line up at a number of spots.
2 (34)	Will Hernandez OG-6’2 327	UTEP	21 (2^nd Round)	A behemoth bar room brawler with mass and underrated quickness, Hernandez has to distribute his weight evenly to reach his immense potential.
3 (66)	Lorenzo Carter OLB-6’5 250	Georgia	68 (3^rd Round)	Carter has some similarities to current Carolina Panthers DE Mario Addison. Can he create speed-to-power off the edge?
3 (69)	B.J. Hill DL-6’3 311	NC State	22 (2^nd Round)	Hill’s dependability is aided by an ability to play a bit longer than his 77-inch wingspan would suggest. Makes plays laterally in the run game.
4 (108)	Kyle Lauletta QB-6’3 222	Richmond	154 (3^rd Round)	Lauletta –the 2017 CAA Offensive Player of the Year- maintains good posture in the pocket and excels on the hit-and-throw concepts. Posted a 4.07 time in the 20-yard short shuttle at the NFL Combine.
5 (139)	RJ McIntosh DT-6’4 286	Miami (Fla.)	161 (3^rd Round)	McIntosh has the size to play either DE or DT. His 83-inch wingspan complements a light-footed nature. He needs to anticipate snap counts with more consistency.

Philadelphia Eagles	Former Pittsburgh cornerback Avonte Maddox (No. 14 pictured) played WR, CB, PR KR and the nickel back spot for the Panthers. He will add versatility to the Super Bowl champions’ roster. Notable pick: Maddox is a player who went undervalued due to size and slight durability concerns. His ability to cover the slot could increase some of the packages by DC Jim Schwartz. Schwartz typically likes to rush with four players and Maddox could increase coverage disguises. The Eagles got three of our top 60 players with their first three selections.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
2 (49)	Dallas Goedert 6’4 260	South Dakota St.	56 (2^nd Round)	Goedert gives the Eagles two tight ends who can attack vertically in the seams of the field. And he weighs in the 260-pound range.
4 (125)	Avonte Maddox CB-5’9 183	Pittsburgh	53 (2^nd Round)	Maddox’s 4.39 40-yard dash at the Combine was only outdone by his 6.51 time in the 3-cone drill. He’s even better on the field than in T-shirts and shorts.
4 (130)	Josh Sweat DE-6’5 251	Florida St.	58 (2^nd Round)	Sweat fell due to lingering question marks about his knee. When he’s feeling good, he can translate speed-to-power with one-hand posts and collapses the edge vs. tackles.
6 (206)	Matthew Pryor OT-6’6 343	TCU	375 (5^th Round)	Pryor sits on run defenders with his mammoth size. He often wins in the first phase of block. 11 ½-inch hands.
7 (233) Acquired from New England Patriots	Jordan Mailata OL-6’8 346	Australia Rugby player	N/A	Mailata never played college football, but he ran in the 5.1-range for NFL scouts.

Washington Redskins	Settle (No. 4 pictured) posted 19.5 tackles for losses the last two seasons for the Hokies. Notable picks: Christian will help alleviate the issues the Redskins had last year when injuries beset the offensive line. Can he swing to the center position to challenge incumbent Chase Roullier? Settle is a player who was once thought of as a potential second-round pick before an uneven postseason.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (13)	De’Ron Payne DT-6’2 311	Alabama	30 (2^nd Round)	Payne will help to control the action as a fire-plugging two-gap specialist and occasional one-gap penetrator. Expect to see him aligned over the center in DC Greg Manusky’s three-man fronts.
2 (59)	Derrius Guice RB-5’11 224	LSU	24 (2^nd Round)	Guice will have to balance his bullish running style to avoid the injury scrapes that took away time from him as a junior.
3 (74)	Geron Christian OT-6’5 298	Louisville	79 (3^rd Round)	Christian’s versatility in school saw him move around during games. He was seen snapping the ball on his Pro Day and it could be a possible transition to a starting role.
4 (109)	Troy Apke S-6’1 200	Penn State	147 (3^rd Round)	Apke didn’t make a number of plays off the hash, but he demonstrated range during the week of the 2018 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and versus Pittsburgh in 2017.
5 (163)	Tim Settle DT-6’3 329	Virginia Tech	200 (4^th Round)	Settle’s quickness is aided by power. He will win versus guards or centers and could be a rotational piece on first and second down.
6 (197)	Shaun Dion Hamilton LB-6’0 228	Alabama	231 (4^th Round)	Crimson Tide team captain has battled major lower extremity injuries, but he can locate, identify and close once he’s made his reads.
7 (241)	Greg Stroman CB-5’11 174	Virginia Tech	381 (5^th Round)	With Stroman’s level of return ability, it is easy to forget that he also broke up 27 passes and picked off 9 passes in school.
7 (256)	Trey Quinn WR-5’11 203	SMU, LSU	227 (4^th Round)	Mr. Irrelevant caught 114 passes in 2017 after an unsettling stint at LSU. His savvy and quickness earn high marks.

Bryant’s Beehive: 3-for-3 into NFL Week 17

December 29, 2017 Neverthere Leave a comment

Is Dez Bryant worthy of carry the title of X-Factor? Is Drew Brees still the best QB in the NFC South? What challenges does Kansas City Chiefs rookie QB Patrick Mahomes face in his first career start? Read more to find out these answers and more in Bryant’s 3-for-3.

Dez Bryant: X-Factor or Not

There’s no question from a physical standpoint Dez Bryant is one of those Terrell Owens specimen-type athletes. However, Bryant’s mediocre productivity this season has only been a reflection of his previous two seasons in Dallas. The Cowboys need more from their big money receiver. Before the double coverage murmurs begin, teams have had to respect the veteran presence of Jason Witten, the consistency of Cole Beasley, and the speed of Terrance Williams. Even when comparing him with Hall of Fame WR Michael Irvin in his eighth-year in the NFL, Irvin had 111 catches for over 1,600 yards (1995). Despite a decline in his numbers and less games played the following season, Irvin went on to have back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons (1997-98). At this point, the projection of Bryant reaching his 2012-14 status is not looking so bright. In 2017, Bryant failed to have a 100-yard receiving game and according to Pro Football Focus, he ranks second in the NFL with nine drops. The bottom line is Bryant is underperforming his contract, as well as his lead position for the Cowboys organization. With the future at quarterback and running back, is it time for the Cowboys to seek a No. 1 WR in the 2018 NFL Draft?

‘Brees’-ing Through

New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees continues to find the Fountain of Youth. Over the last few seasons, the NFC South has been graced with the athleticism of Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton, Atlanta Falcons 2016 MVP QB Matt Ryan, and the emerging Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Jameis Winston. However, the 38-year old veteran has led his team to its first winning record and playoff berth in four seasons. Perhaps these accomplishments are more fulfilling at this stage in his career than passing for 5,000 yards in a season (something he has accomplished four times). With one more game remaining on schedule, Brees has completed a career-high 71.9% of his passes and has managed to stay in the single digit column in interceptions (8). It has been eight years since Drew Brees has hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. Does the ageless wonder have what it takes to bring another championship back to New Orleans?

Mahomes Debut

After locking up the AFC West for the second season in a row and clinching a spot in the playoffs, head coach Andy Reid is turning the keys over to rookie QB Patrick Mahomes for Sunday’s contest against the Denver Broncos. While this game may serve as a meaningless game for some, Mahomes will still be tested by a Broncos defense that ranks second in the league in total defense and fourth in the league against the pass. Mahomes, the 10^th overall pick in the 2017 draft, displayed great arm strength, strong hips through his release, and mobility coming out of Texas Tech. With a notable seasoned veteran and the potential contract discussions of Alex Smith at the end of the season, could we be getting a glimpse of the Chiefs new QB next season?

Ezekiel Elliott 6’0 225 RB Ohio State: 2016 NFL Draft Scouting Report

March 22, 2016 Neverthere Leave a comment

15 Ezekiel Elliott RB 6’0 225 Ohio State

Photo by: Al Bradley Instagram: www.instagram.com/1djsoul

What makes this player NASTY (Strengths): Athletic bloodlines. Prototype size. Muscular build. Big game player. Brings his best vs. the best competition. Finishing speed. Ball security. Keeps the football high and tight to his frame. Holds his top-end speed and has rarely been caught from behind in the open field. Sticks his foot in the dirt and gets vertical on inside zones. Runs with forward lean. Delivers punishment to safeties, LBs and DBs (6-yard run, 1st quarter, Notre Dame ’16). Gets on top of safeties and LBs quickly at the second level due to acceleration. Excellent hand-eye coordination shows up as an outlet on swings and flat routes. Patience. On counter-trey and counter-trap runs, he allows the puller to make contact in the hole before making a decision. Possesses the deft, subtle skips to bounce runs to his left (Penn State í14). Outstanding blocker. He will get all the way up the third level to block safeties. Heís also been a factor lead blocking on strong sweeps; where he’s made highlight film blocks vs. CBs (Notre Dame í16-Fiesta Bowl). Ability to cut block has led to scoring opportunities in the red area (Barnett, TD, Illinois í15). Measures the thigh boards and ankles of moving targets. Identifies and ID’s the most dangerous pass rusher in blitz pick-up.

Weaknesses: Does not always get his hips aligned to strike vs. longer OLB-types even after correctly identifying the man in pass pro (Penn State ’14, Oregon ’15). Suffered a broken thumb in the 2014 fall camp. He hasnít always made the last man miss in open field situations (Daniels, Oregon ’15-national title game). Muffed and lost a punt vs. Virginia Tech in 2015. Underwent surgery on a wrist injury in the fall of 2014 and then again in the winter of 2015 (February). Had an infection in his leg in preparation for the Michigan State game in 2015 and was forced to spend time in the hospital due to pain. Posted just a 32 1/2-inch VJ at the 2016 NFL Combine.

Time to get Nasty…(Our Summary): Elliott’s deceptive stride length and natural power provide a poor man’s version of former All-Pro running back LaDainian Tomlinson (Chargers, Jets). His light-footed skip steps set up blockers to seal the edge when bouncing runs or provide assistance for his blockers when running inside. He has pop striking defenders in pass pro, but he could stand to match-up more square versus longer pass rush threats. There are few questions regarding toughness, football intelligence or size. Like Tomlinson, he’s very natural catching the football out of the backfield. Elliott projects as a starting running back in Year 1 and his style of play fits gap-schemed styles like the Carolina Panthers employ.

DraftNasty’s Grade: 6.605 (1st Round)

UPDATE: Elliott was picked fourth overall in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. In two seasons in the NFL, he has rushed for 2,614 yards (4.6 YPC) and 22 touchdowns. The 2016 first-team All-Pro selection has also caught 58 passes for 632 yards and three touchdowns.
