Project 2025: An Offseason Running Commentary

This Big Board has some guys all over the place like Jalon Walker for instance.

That board is certainly a take. PFF's boards and mocks never line up well with reality. It is interesting that the first QB on their board is all the way down at 17 though.

Interesting stuff here about the Edge guys

Pierce
Princely
Mike Green all stack up pretty well

 

Mike Green is smaller than advertised. Pearce looks better to me after reading that article

 

The article showed the run stop rate which is hugely important.

The 3 guys mentioned above all did well there. Princely is about 258 lbs and could be the best in the entire class is in right system. Evero system might be perfect. Of course dreaming is what everyone does this time of year.

I worry that our 57 pick in the second will be just out of reach for Princely and Butler the NT. I see em at 35 to 50 range

 

Damn Rams...
I also would concerned about choices that only had one year of good/decent college productivity. i.e. XL...

 

Right now, I would rate the 34 OLB/Edge guys as follows.

1. Carter, Princely with value being Princely since we can get him later
2. Pearce, Mykell. Fall back position as both can be good
3. Green. Agreed w CJ, he is very light and can be blocked by a host of NFL guys, RB's, TE's and certainly linemen

 

Not a fan of Mykel Williams. He didn’t produce like you want a first round edge prospect to.

 

They're all quite different. Pearce seems like the most likely DE/OLB to be good in any scheme. Tennessee technically plays a 4 man line but his DE position was a bit of a hybrid. I've mentioned my concerns over Carter needing to be in a blitz heavy system, and it's not a given he'll be a full time edge player in the NFL. I agree with you about Williams potentially being the Trevon Walker of this class. Green's competition is the main issue to me.
