Trend in Rhule's Draft Picks

[XClown1986]

Above all else, it has become apparent that Rhule values one thing over anything else:

Rare Athletic ability

If you look at the players drafted just in the first two rounds last year and round 1 this year:

- Derrick Brown (for his size, strength, balance, and hands moreso than speed. I do believe this was more of a Hurney pick. I believe the rumor that Rhule wanted to move down and grab Kinlaw who was more athletically gifted).

- Yetur Gross Matos

- Jeremy Chinn

- Jaycee Horn

All of those guys are FREAK athletes. 

Those are the guys we can expect to pinpoint as targets for the rest of this draft and in every draft with Rhule at the helm going forward. He believes he can coach anyone. He just wants the guy he is coaching to have SOMETHING special to work with.

So who else stands out in this regard for the draft this year?

Walker Little.

Other trend: Defense

Makes sense. I can get behind that strategy. Could explain the Fields thing.

Horn is one of the best Athletes at the position in the last 20 years easily.

I forgot about Spencer Brown

Take your pick: https://relativeathleticscores.com/2021/01/23/2021-draft-class-ras/

If you're talking Oline:

• Spencer Brown, OT - 10
• Creed Humphrey, OC -10 
• Samel Cosmi, OT - 9.99
• Quinn Meinerz, OC -9.98

Seems like Rhule is a big fan of these ratings.  Also he is a big fan of drafting defensive players.  8 draft picks - 8 defenders thus far.  Although I'm pretty confident that either Round 2 or 3 will bring us O-Line help.

He's a freak, but I'm concerned that he's never played on the left side.

[Zod]

You mean he would not have drafted Gaulden? lol

Fields isn't a freak athlete?

[CarolinaLivin]

I think the Obvious pick is OT (tackle here and inside OL guy later)

But they will more than likely grab a S

It's a nice feeling, that being true going forward.
