PFF top 50

PFF recently released their top 50 prospects for this years draft.

I find it interesting that several players we have shown interest in seem to be highly thought of by them.  Maybe that is a good sign for us.

Murphy #6

Dillard #13

Burns #14

Savage #28

They seem to factor college production into their projections a little more than traditional media list you see.  An example would be Gary, who they have at 48.

Might have to renew my pff sub just for the draft insight. Wish Mayock was still doing his for the masses..

It's almost feels like Hurney was using a copy of Mayocks top 100 from last year... extremely strange how all our guys were picked at almost the exact number they were rated at on that list.....even Gaulden iirc. 

Top 10 would be relatively easy...top 100 though...weird coincidence.

It seems Hurney 2.0 has fully embraced analytics to help him and his scouting department. Guys we've been scouting are definitely individuals who check the production + athleticism combo. I was wondering why we haven't been as high with Clelin Ferrell when he's so nearby. Probably may have to do with Clelin's hesitancy to do athletic testing and film wise he just doesn't seem to be an athlete.

PFF nailed the Baker Mayfield projection of #1 player in the draft last year.

I'm glad someone pointed this out.  I don't always care for PFF but they nailed Baker last year.

I know Baker looks like he'll be good, but jury is still out.  I'm skeptical TBH

Oh yeah for sure, I think you need 4 years to eval a rookie. I'm just saying most analysts had him as the 4th best and I think he played above that for his first year.    

Looking back at their big board for 2018 they also had Derwin James at 5 which aged well. Of course, some others did not.

    • Word is that Lawrence showed up and weighed in at nearly 400 pounds for his Bengals medical check. I'd find a reason to fail him. Blood type tested as bacon grease. Fail. We've all seen what happens when a dominant huge, explosive DT can't manage his weight. You're gonna age like milk. Looking like Kris Jenkins 2.0.
    • Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.
