Football Gameplan's 2013 NFL Mock Draft Video - April

Richardson is 24, gets mauled in the run game, and was rumored to have an attitude problem.

Floyd is 20, is very good against the run with upside in the pass-rush, and is a great kid.

This... is a no-brainer. Floyd>>>> Richardson.

Richardson is and has been more productive than Floyd.

And Floyd is nowhere near as good against the run as a lot of people are saying. At least based on everything I've seen (all the YouTube videos I've been able to find with him in them). Against the run they're equal, against the pass Richardson is way better and Richardson's motor blows Floyd's out of the water. And Richardson is more versatile. I'd take Richardson over Floyd too.

Floyd is younger and has more upside.

If going based off of production then Kawann Short would be in the mix to be taken top 10. He isnt.

I see the younger argument but the more upside is a little hard to determine.

Richardsons "production" is because he's getting pushed so far down the field and makes tackles on guys 10 yards past the LOS with his great speed. Can't hold the point at all, and richardsons pass rush is overrated. I see a better inside rush from Floyd

Yes that what happens.

Cyprien > Vaccaro

I saw a tweet from an NFL Network guy last week that said there are only three positions in this draft that have clear leaders that can't be disputed. TE, CB, and Safety. Just found that interesting that Vaccaro is getting that much love when we've all seen the missed tackles.

    • I took a look at 1990 to 2025(so far). It's an interesting look. In my eyes, I don't think there is a huge difference in the rushing output or attempts over that span. The maximum difference in the attempted rushes over that massive of a span of time was only 2.4 attempts/game. Attempts/game has been rising for the past few years but that isn't the biggest difference, it's the efficiency of those runs that is actually at historic highs over that timespan. Look at YPA averages. The same general thing happened a few years ago with the passing game. Although the range of attempted passes per game is significantly higher in this timespan(5.8 attempts/GM), it's also the efficiency of these passes that has gone up considerably over that era(but peaked a few years ago).  I don't think we are reverting to a "previous era" of offense in terms of the rushing attempts vs. passing attempts. I say that because with all the rule changes, it's sort of impossible for that to happen. What you are seeing is more likely an adjustment to the defensive changes that came about to stop the explosive passing offenses that had developed. These changes haven't led to an inordinate amount of rushing versus passing(although that ratio has dropped) but it HAS led to much more explosive rushing output as evidenced by YPA ticking up since 2018.
