Jamie_B Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 For me addressing CB, Right Tackle, I'd also like to get another LB and a backup Nose Tackle if Reader goes down. I like the CB Gonzales out of Oregon and the tackle Wright out of Tenn. I haven't spent much time looking at the draft other than these two guys, I'll likely start that soon.

Jungletiger Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 https://thedraftnetwork.com/sr-prospect/broderick-jones-89048c06-64e3-478f-afc3-33d31cdad0b0/ Broderick Jones NFL Draft Scouting Report OT, Georgia Bulldogs Broderick Jones was the starting left tackle for the back-to-back national champion Georgia Bulldogs. Prior to enrolling, Jones was a five-star recruit and rated as a top-three offensive tackle in the nation. A two-sport athlete, Jones was a skilled post player on the hardwood. He helped lead the basketball team to 21-10 record as a junior. Jones has developed into one of the best offensive tackles in the SEC and the nation. Jones is an incredible athlete but especially for an offensive lineman. He has been reported to hit 19 mph on the GPS tracker. This athleticism is evident when he is a lead or pulling blocker in space as he hunts down second and third-level defenders. His lateral agility is impressive—Jones can mirror rushers well to protect inside and outside paths to the quarterback. He is athletic enough to use vertical and diagonal sets in pass protection to cut off those explosive steep-angle rushers. This is evident when he has to handle defensive twists and stunts. Jones does a good job making contact with the first defender and passing them to his teammate to engage the second defender. Jones has outstanding hand/grip strength to latch and gain advantage of his opponent. There are reps where he stonewalls defenders with quick and powerful punches. In addition, he displays the ability to fit and re-fit his hands based on the counters thrown by his opponent. I love the physical and finisher mentality he blocks with. There are multiple instances where Jones pancakes and throws defenders to the ground. Jones is spatially aware to help his teammate and act as a bumper if left uncovered. He will punish interior defensive linemen by crashing on the side of his guards. Despite his physical tools and gifts, Jones only has 19 starts under his belt. This explains why he is not polished with his overall technique. Jones’ hand carriage is typically low and “claps,” exposing his chest to defenders. The timing of his punches is not consistent, either. Not protecting his chest and core leads to inefficient balance from Jones. Also, he leans and bends at the waist, causing balance issues during sequences. He needs to settle his feet quicker in instances to allow his anchor to be dropped effectively versus speed to power rushers. In all, Jones is a strong, physically gifted, and talented offensive line prospect. As good as he is entering the league, there is more potential and upside for Jones to elevate his game. I can see him starting at left tackle early on if the void is there. Although, I do believe he can slide into guard if a team needed him to. The long-term outlook? He will be a multi-year starting OT. Top Reasons to Buy In: Incredible athleticism at the position “Finisher” mentality Potential/upside Top Reasons For Concern: Limited experience (19 starts) Inconsistent technique/mechanics Overaggressiveness Size (TBD): Height: 6040 Weight: 310 lbs Wingspan: TBD Arm Length: TBD Hand Size: TBD Athletic Testing (TBD): 40-yard Dash: TBD Vertical Jump: TBD Broad Jump: TBD Short-Shuttle: TBD Three-Cone: TBD Bench Reps: TBD Ideal Role: Starting left tackle Scheme Fit: Scheme versatile TDN Consensus Grade: 85.00/100 (First-Round Value) Parson Grade: 85.00/100 Written By: Damian Parson Exposures: TCU (2022), LSU (2022), Auburn, (2022), Oregon (2022), Missouri (2022) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He earned playing time as a freshman in 2020 before settling in as the Sooners’ blindside protector in 2021 and 2022. Harrison has the physical profile of an appealing NFL offensive tackle prospect. He features a long and athletic build with good arm length. Harrison is thick in his lower half and he’s far from maxed out. He has the athleticism needed to mirror rushers and handle speed off the edge while offering plenty of range as a run blocker. Harrison has quick and nimble feet with loose hips, which makes it natural for him to redirect, work laterally, and get into space. I like his overall balance and how he plays within himself, rarely getting overextended or top-heavy. The key for Harrison moving forward is getting stronger and developing his footwork in pass protection to better take advantage of his length and movement skills. While Harrison isn’t overpowered at the point of attack, he is far from a people-mover that creates consistent displacement in drive-block situations. With more functional strength and by executing with better leverage, Harrison will become an even more effective blocker in the run and pass games. His pass sets are inconsistent in terms of getting the depth and width necessary to frame blocks. Too often Harrison will open his hips too soon and create soft angles for rushers to work through, which can be improved with more consistent footwork in his kickslide. Harrison has room to improve his hand technique where his timing and placement can be erratic and inconsistent. With increased functional strength and technical growth, Harrison has the potential to be a starting left tackle in the NFL early in his career. Top Reasons to Buy In: Length and movement skills Pass protection ability Body type Top Reasons For Concern: Functional strength Inconsistent pass sets Hand placement and consistency with leverage Size (TBD): Height: 6050 Weight: 315 lbs Wingspan: 00” Arm Length: 00 0/0” Hand Size: 00 0/0” Athletic Testing (TBD): 40-yard Dash: 0.00s Vertical Jump: 00” Broad Jump: 000” Short-Shuttle: 0.00s Three-Cone: 0.00s Bench Reps: 00 reps Ideal Role: Developmental starting tackle Scheme Fit: Zone rushing offense TDN Consensus Grade: 80.00/100 (Second-Round Value) Marino Grade: 80.00/100 Written By: Joe Marino Exposures: TCU (2021), Oklahoma State (2021), Baylor (2021), Texas (2022), Kansas State (2022), TCU (2022) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungletiger Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 https://thedraftnetwork.com/sr-prospect/darnell-wright-c6eddc0e-6e96-4a23-b51f-9af5a42659ae/ Looks a little like Carmen in the face Darnell Wright NFL Draft Scouting Report OT, Tennessee Volunteers A consensus five-star recruit, Darnell Wright delivered a highly productive career at Tennessee. He became a starter as a freshman at right tackle in 2019 and started every game there in 2020 before moving to left tackle in 2021 and then finishing his career back at right tackle in 2022. His experience against top competition, ability to play both sides, and growth in every season is a notable part of his evaluation. Wright features an appealing blend of size, power, and tenacity. He has the functional strength and mass to create displacement in the run game. I really like the power in his hands and overall grip strength. His hands are not easily displaced and it’s impressive how his punch is able to stun opponents. He displays the ability to operate his hands independently and vary his strikes. Wright’s anchor is stout in pass protection and opponents won’t find success attempting to play through him. He’s a competitive blocker with ideal temperament. He is confident in pass pro, rarely getting overeager, and trusts his ability to frame, anchor, and utilize his length to keep opponents at bay. Wright is a big-bodied blocker with only sufficient foot speed and tight hips. I believe he could benefit from dropping 10-15 pounds to improve his movement skills. Wright struggles to get good depth in his vertical sets and likes to quick set and get his hands fit while dropping his anchor to stymie rushers before they can get multiple steps into their rush. He has some tendencies to get top-heavy, duck his head, and fold at the waist when engaged with blocks—he needs to play with better bend and leverage. Wright’s range as a run blocker is underwhelming and he hasn’t proven to be effective on longer pulls or climbing to the second level while being tasked with connecting with moving targets. His modest lateral range creates challenges when attempting to execute reach blocks. In addition, he isn’t the most fluid when required to hinge and pivot when passing off rushers and adjusting to pressure schemes. Wright has the makeup of a quality NFL starter in a run scheme that is willing to accept his modest range. His experience against top competition, power, and mass give him the chance to be a starter early in his career. Top Reasons to Buy In: Experience and performance at both LT and RT against top competition Hand technique and length Functional strength and patience in pass protection Top Reasons For Concern: Range in the run game Modest footspeed and tightness in the lower half Bend and leverage Size (TBD): Height: 6050 Weight: 330 lbs Wingspan: 00” Arm Length: 00 0/0” Hand Size: 00 0/0” Athletic Testing (TBD): 40-yard Dash: 0.00s Vertical Jump: 00” Broad Jump: 000” Short-Shuttle: 0.00s Three-Cone: 0.00s Bench Reps: 00 reps Ideal Role: Potential early starter at right tackle Scheme Fit: Gap-heavy run scheme that is mindful of his modest range Prospect Comparison: Cordy Glenn (2012 NFL Draft) TDN Consensus Grade: 81.00/100 (Second-Round Value) Marino Grade: 81.00/100 Written By: Joe Marino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungletiger Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Cam Smith NFL Draft Scouting Report CB, South Carolina Gamecocks Cam Smith developed into an impact starter for South Carolina, where he routinely matched up with top competition and conceded very little in coverage. Smith is a highly-competitive defender that plays the game with confidence and physicality. He’s a twitchy athlete with good speed, loose hips, and quick feet that lead to sticky reps in man coverage. Smith is patient and balanced at the line of scrimmage and he’s more than willing to crowd and leverage releases to create early disruption on routes. I love the way he competes to get off blocks and tackle. He’s an enthusiastic tackler that is never passive. Smith features dynamic click-and-close ability when driving back down the stem to invade the catch point. He is a poised defender that never panics. Smith showcases outstanding ball skills where his body control ability to locate the football leads to exciting plays on the ball in the air. Overall, Smith is a sharp processor with excellent play recognition skills. While it’s easy to love his aggressiveness as a tackler, there are times that Smith doesn’t do a good enough job wrapping up and looks to take out the feet of the ball carrier, which leads to an occasional whiff. For his physical style of play, ideally, he’d have a touch more weight on his frame. I find Smith to be mostly patient and balanced at the line of scrimmage, but he does have some over-eager moments when looking to create jams where he fires his hands with dead feet and it causes him to fold at the waist and get off-balance. Smith fell victim to frequent penalty flags in 2022, mainly due to some grabbiness in coverage that will need to be corrected. Smith has the makings of a quality starting cornerback in the NFL and it’s not unreasonable to think he can start early in his career. Top Reasons to Buy In: Quick feet and fluid hips Coverage instincts and ball skills Physicality and competitive toughness Top Reasons For Concern: Tackling consistency Over-aggressiveness in coverage A touch lean Size (TBD): Height: 6000 Weight: 190 lbs Wingspan: 00” Arm Length: 00 0/0” Hand Size: 00 0/0” Athletic Testing (TBD): 40-yard Dash: 0.00s Vertical Jump: 00” Broad Jump: 000” Short-Shuttle: 0.00s Three-Cone: 0.00s Bench Reps: 00 reps Ideal Role: Starting outside corner Scheme Fit: Man coverage Prospect Comparison: A.J.

Jungletiger Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Jaelyn Duncan NFL Draft Scouting Report OT, Maryland Terrapins Jaelyn Duncan has been the starting left tackle for Maryland since the 2019 season and has played in over 40 career games. At 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds, Duncan has the prototypical build, length, and mass that the NFL looks for in offensive tackle prospects. Duncan appears to be a plus-level athlete with above-average movement skills, but there are technique issues that result in a wide range of outcomes for how successful Duncan can be on any given play. Analyzing the positives, Duncan’s athleticism assists him both as a run blocker and in pass protection. As a run blocker, Duncan shows best as a pulling tackle where he is able to quickly and effortlessly pull and execute kick-out blocks or come around and work to second-level defenders. Duncan’s athleticism allows him to climb to the second level of defenses and be able to beat defenders to a spot to cut them off or to be able to make contact with second-level defenders to disrupt their flow to the football. In pass protection, Duncan’s athleticism shows. He has good initial quickness at the snap to gain depth in his pass set. He also shows to have quick feet, being able to move on both the lateral and vertical plane. While Duncan shows to have plus-level athletic ability, his technique often minimizes what he provides athletically. In pass protection, Duncan has the ability to get to any spot in his pass set but fails to properly shoot his hands and use them to block. Duncan often lunges at defenders, which throws off his balance and counteracts all of the work he has done to get in place to block the defender. In the run game, Duncan is athletic and provides a lot of range as a blocker but he fails to sustain blocks. Duncan is too upright upon contact and loses his base for power and leverage. Overall, Ducan is a prospect with a great amount of upside due to his natural physical tools and movement ability, but there are technical parts of his game that he needs to improve upon to be able to play at a high level consistently. Top Reasons to Buy In: Plus-level size and length Good quick lateral agility Top Reasons For Concern: Inconsistent technique Strength at the point of attack Size (TBD): Height: 6060 Weight: 330 lbs Wingspan: TBD Arm Length: TBD Hand Size: TBD Athletic Testing (source): 40-yard Dash: 5.05s Vertical Jump: TBD Broad Jump: TBD Short-Shuttle: TBD Three-Cone: TBD Bench Reps: TBD Ideal Role: Developmental tackle Scheme Fit: Scheme-versatile athletic traits TDN Consensus Grade: 77.50/100 (Third-Round Value) Sanchez Grade: 77.50/100 Written By: Keith Sanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington played both tight end and defensive end in high school. He helped power his team to 43.6 points per game and a nice run into the playoffs. As a high school junior, Washington averaged a double-double in basketball with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Since enrolling at Georgia, he has been a rotational starter for their offense. He received the majority of snaps in their 12-personnel or two tight-end packages with teammate Brock Bowers. Washington is one of the most physically imposing players in college football. He embodies the term “hop off the bus.” Washington’s most appealing skill set is his ability as a blocker. Whether drive blocking in the run game or chipping in pass protection, Washington’s presence is felt. He can drive defenders off the ball vertically and wash them down the line of scrimmage. Washington operates as the split-flow blocker on split-zone concepts. This opens up easy access to the opposite flat regions of play-action. As a receiver, Washington’s value will be up the seams vertically, quick curls/hooks, and in-breakers versus zone. As a result of his imposing frame, Washington is a hassle to bring down one on one in space. He can power through, stiff arm, and even leap over defenders. He is hard to contain on crossing patterns, either deep or shallow. Put Washington in situations that remove the constant stopping, breaking, and changing directions. He can stress linebackers to stay in phase and play the ball at his level. As a result, Washington can take the wind out of the defense’s sails by generating big plays in the passing attack off of play-action. Washington’s size and frame are positive but bring natural disadvantages also. As a run blocker, Washington does not consistently get his feet underneath him to properly drive defenders off the ball with good leverage. Due to his frame, it is difficult for him to be the “lowest man” in these sequences. While he is athletic for his size, Washington is not an overly explosive player. He should not be viewed as a natural separator versus tight-man coverage. Washington does not break in and out of his breaks with optimal fluidity. The stat sheet will not show the promise or skill set of Washington. He was not heavily involved in the Bulldogs’ passing offense. As a result, some may be turned off by the lack of production. Washington projects as an in-line traditional Y tight end. He’s an outstanding asset on running downs due to his blocking prowess. Washington works in both gap and zone-blocking schemes. He possesses upside as a pass-catcher with more opportunities and targets. I believe to get the best out of him, his routes should be attacking the seams and across the middle of the field off hard play-action. He is a zone-beater that can find soft spots to settle into. Washington does bring outstanding potential in the red zone as a blocker and receiver. He has the potential to develop into a reliable passing option and TE1 for an offense, but a TE2 at worst. Top Reasons to Buy In: Blocking Outstanding height and weight combination Pass catching upside Top Reasons For Concern: Labored out of breaks Lack of production Separation Size (TBD): Height: 6070 Weight: 270 lbs Wingspan: TBD Arm Length: TBD Hand Size: TBD Athletic Testing (TBD): 40-yard Dash: TBD Vertical Jump: TBD Broad Jump: TBD Short-Shuttle: TBD Three-Cone: TBD Bench Reps: TBD Ideal Role: Starting tight end Scheme Fit: Run-oriented with heavy play-action TDN Consensus Grade: 82.00/100 (Second-Round Value) Parson Grade: 82.00/100 Written By: Damian Parson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A former walk-on tight end, Mauch transitioned to the offensive line where he quickly developed into one of the best left tackles in the country. Mauch is a sixth-year senior who with his experience and age should be a plug-and-play player at the next level. Mauk has good size and athleticism but lacks the requisite arm length to excel at left tackle at the next level, thus a position switch to guard is very likely. In the run game, Mauch displays excellent lateral agility and movement skills while working to the second level. He is quick enough to get across the linebacker’s face and has the agility to land on moving targets on pulls and screens. He plays with a physical temperament and looks to finish his opponent whenever given the chance. Mauch is more of a position and wall-off blocker who wins with angles rather than a power knock-back player who generates displacement at the point of attack. Because of this, Mauch is very likely to excel in a zone-based scheme where his mobility can shine. In the pass game, Mauch displays light feet, balance, and body control to mirror in pass protection. He gets good depth on his pass sets and has the range to handle speed rushers working his outside shoulder. Mauch struggles when defenders are able to get in his chest as his arm length limits his ability to stymie the rush. Additionally, he has just an above-average anchor and can be susceptible to speed-to-power and bull rushes. While Mauch is an experienced and savvy player, there are times his hands are too far outside, which results in holding penalties. Overall, Mauch has starter-level ability as a zone-based interior lineman but his lack of power and length may limit his upside. Top Reasons to Buy In: Easy movement skills and lateral agility Toughness and play temperament Balance Top Reasons For Concern: Length Lack of knock-back power in his lower half Hand placement in pass protection Size (TBD): Height: 6060 Weight: 303 lbs Wingspan: 00” Arm Length: 00 0/0” Hand Size: 00 0/0” Athletic Testing (TBD): 40-yard Dash: 0.00s Vertical Jump: 00” Broad Jump: 000” Short-Shuttle: 0.00s Three-Cone: 0.00s Bench Reps: 00 reps Ideal Role: Starting NFL guard/swing tackle Scheme Fit: Zone-based run scheme TDN Consensus Grade: 79.00/100 (Third-Round Value) Weissman Grade: 79.00/100 Written By: Brentley Weissman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
