Edge Defenders - PFF

Everyone knows how much Gettleman loves D-lineman. In this article from PFF they break down some of the edge rushers in this draft. 

 

Take some of what they say with a grain of salt because PFF never takes into account the player you are matched up against.  So if one guy goes up against Collins from LSU one week and another goes up against some freshman at Northern Iowa,  guess who probably had the better grade. 

 

But one of my favorites, and probably not a first round guy keeps showing up near the top of all the stats, Trey Flowers.  He does not time as well as some of the top guys, and did not have a great combine, hell he did not even really have a great year as far as stats go.  But when you watch him play, he is just good.

Expecting big things from ol' Frank Alexander this year if he can stay out of trouble....and more development from Kony as well.  With that being said, I'm sure we draft at least 1 DE, just not sure which round.

 

On a side note, OP's avatar freaks me out

This guy does fantastic breakdowns over on reddit.  I suggest you check some of his out.

Nice find, I am enjoying reading those.  And I agree with most of what I'm reading too.  I've read the Abdullah and Perriman breakdowns so far and they both seem very fair.

I expect nothing from Frank Alexander.

To do so, would surely lead to more disappointment.

To be proven wrong, while expecting nothing, will always bring happiness.

I might try this.

 

I fully expect Luke to be the worst player in the NFL next year. Maximum happiness guaranteed!

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
