Good read. I need to look into Bryce Hall... his PBU total (20 in 2018) popped, when I was researching Juan Thornhill, and it seems there's quite a bit to be excited about with this player. I really hope Renfrow or Isabella end up in NE as their future slot guy.

I really hope Renfrow or Isabella end up in NE as their future slot guy. Of the guys who had a lot of passes broken up this year: Assuming he declares early, Justin Layne (6-03, 185 lbs) of Michigan St is a kid I am very interested in. Currently very skinny but I like what he could be when he thickens up. The kid had 72 total tackles (44 solos) to go with his 15 PBUs. His 2017 highlight youtube appears to show a kid very willing to tackle. Has all the potential of being a really potent solution against TEs and bigger receivers.

Ferrell was an early favorite of mine. Other than Ferguson, he is the only edge player whose production lived up to what I thought they could be this year. To be fair, some of the kids who did not have the expected production went down to injury. On the other hand, I do think staying healthy says a lot. The article also confirms something I mentioned in one of the early pages that Finley looks better than he is because he has awesome receivers - Harmon being one of them. I also agree that Gerald Willis is someone to watch. He is one of the more productive DTs. Miami has a bowl game and he is within 2 of reaching 20 TFLs. That's a really rare level for a DT. JJ Watt had 21 on his best year in college. Donald had 28. Fairley had 24. I am more positive on Zach Allen than the writer is. He has 15 TFLs for two consecutive years. At 285 lbs, he does not have to be the fastest edge guy.

Is Will Grier a fit for the Pats?? Is he a first round QB?? Even with the other needs ...

Anyone think we should draft a young stud kicker next draft? BB is always on the lookout for solid ST types, so if one exists in this class I think it's within consideration, yes. Siebert best kicker/punter in college. Could save a roster spot for 3 QBs

Definitely flashes some ball skills, and I like that he plucks in the open field. He also has some interesting stat splits, as he's gone from what looked like a deep threat in 2017 with 40-816-6 (20.40 YPC) to more of a short/intermediate type in 2018, with 93-1,199-12 (12.89 YPC), so it seems like Sutton and Quinn opened things up for him last year, where as he's the #1 this year. Productive nonetheless.

Before last year, I wouldn't have considered an undersized, air-raid type QB as an option, but there sure seemed to have a lot of interest in Mayfield in least years class. With that said, I don't think Grier is on Mayfield's level. Grier does have some skills that they like, with his release, ball placement, ability to throw with some anticipation and accuracy in the short/intermediate areas of the field... while on the negative side, he does benefit quite a bit from his offensive system, where he often can decide where he's going to go pre-snap, vs. having to work through progressions. I think he'll be considered, but I prefer him more on Day 2 at this point.

It seems like he has been in college for the longest. Stidham is turning pro. The guy had a bad year but he has some talent.

The ACC sucks! Give me SEC West players all day, Ole Miss LT Little, WR DK Metcalf, should be 2rd round targets, and anybody from Roll Tide in the 1st round and y'all will have a fine draft, unlike last year with those dogs from Georgia!!!

Remind me who the player was, that you wanted in Rd 1 of last year's draft, and what conference he played in? Also, it's tough for someone to say that an entire conference sucks, when their team was only able to beat the below teams this year. Congrats on those two FCS wins, haha.

A random draft research gripe...
... just once I'd like to open the CBS page, without (47) videos deciding to auto-play.
It drives me f'n nuts.

IF Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray decides to forgo a baseball career (he was a 1st round pick of Oakland this past June, and has signed a $5M contract) to take a shot at the NFL, he would immediately become the #1 QB on my board (over Duke's Daniel Jones). I've long admired Russell Wilson as a QB, and think he could be a slightly smaller, though faster and more athletic version of him. I know it's crazy to think about a QB that might not be 5-10, but he's a special, special athlete.

Murray is 5’9 Well, 5096 per draftscout, so he's less than an inch shorter based on what's listed... but we'll know his true size, if he participates in the Combine or a pro-day. And yeah, his size is far from ideal... but the athleticism is elite.

My random prediction of the day. Neither has declared for the NFL draft as of yet, but if they do, I think BB selects both Iowa TE TJ Hockenson and Georgia TE Isaac Nauta over the first few days of the 2019 draft, and get back to the vaunted 2-TE attack.

Well, MB, do not remember whom I wanted last year, but ACC other than Clemson sucks compared to ANY SEC West team, including the Rebs and the Hogs!!! Any or the Ole Miss players I named above and AJ Brown ( if u even know who he is) will be drafted before any of the ACC teams players u like (other than Clemson, again). I hope your "glory boys" from "Touchdown Jesus" NB play Bama for Natl Championship Game. If so, goin' to be "Roll Tide" all night long!

I hope your "glory boys" from "Touchdown Jesus" NB play Bama for Natl Championship Game. If so, goin' to be "Roll Tide" all night long! Harold Landry, the EDGE player from Boston College . That's who you wanted. Haha, typical SEC fanboy logic. Look, playing in the same division/conference as Alabama, doesn't make you Alabama. The West has some good teams, but it's really Alabama, then everyone else. Heck, LSU lost to ND in their bowl game last year, and Auburn lost to UCF, and you should worry more about your team following the rules, and getting off of sanctions. You're like a Jets or Bill or Dolphins fan talking smack to someone in the AFC West, because your team is in the same division as the New England Patriots. With that said, I think Ole Miss has some solid skill talent, Metcalf has all-world potential, and Brown could be a tough jumbo slot in more of the Juju mold. Both can run routes and show toughness after the catch.... with DK have no real weaknesses. If Metcalf slips to the end of round one, I think you take him. I like Brown better on Day 2. I'll also be checking Lodge at a later date.

Did draftbreakdown.com shutdown? Unfortunately, I think it did... and there seems to be less tape available on the web this draft cycle.
