Phatcat Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Looking forward to see how this draft plays out overall, but this guy is quickly becoming my favorite "can't wait to see" guy. Definitely hungry for a stud linebacker on this team. Burfict was a big tease, but could not get out of his own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Pratt was a hard hitting safety who grew to LB size. The knock on him is coverage ability. For a former safety, he's not a natural backpedaling in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh.. how many of those were there? I guess 5, assuming top fifth corresponds to sample size in some some way. I realize that PFF's math is basically "pick a number between 1-10 but add 2 decimal places for science" but still. What are they even trying to say here?

They're saying his pass coverage grade was 78.9. That puts Pratt at 33 out of 180 draft eligible linebackers who had at least 250 snaps in coverage.

It’s hard to determine if the number 78.9 is even meaningful without seeing everyone else’s grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
