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!

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
