I’m not overly familiar with QB Clayton Tune, but he shows an upward trend. Just watched his highlights, and the kid looks like a baller and throws an effortless long ball. In looking at his Pros/Cons, most of the negatives look like they’re mechanics (a good coach could help with this), but he seems to have ability across the board. Is anyone familiar with his gameplay? Would he be worth a late round flier?

Im pretty sure we have to take Bijan with #6 if we want him. And that is awful rich for a rb in a draft this deep.
I saw Walter Football moved Bijan up to 3rd in their latest mock.
Here are some other guys who I’m sure will move onto the PFF board after an update (a few of them in the Senior Bowl) that I think fit the criteria. Focused on CB and iOL here.
CB:
Darius Rush, South Carolina: 82.2 → 64.8 → 75.1 → 77.9
Mekhi Blackmon, USC: 62.6 → 59.4 → 77.7 → 72.1 → 90.6 (played only 13 games total his first 3 years, athletic testing might rule him out eventually)
Myles Brooks, Louisiana Tech: 59.7 → 79.5 → 72.2 (barely played frosh year)
Eric Garror, Louisiana-Lafayette: 62.0 → 76.5 → 70.7 → 76.6
Jarrick Bernard-Converse, LSU: 70.6 → 66.2 → 76.0 → 75.8 → 76.9
iOL:
Jordan McFadden, Clemson: 81.6 → 88.3 → 83.5 → 87.4 → 72.9
Alex Forsyth, Oregon: 76.2 → 66.3 → 74.2 → 69.6 → 72.0 (close enough I figure)
Jacob Gall, Baylor: 67.2 → 90.5 → 83.3 → 79.9 (was rotational player his 1st two years at Buffalo)
TJ Bass, Oregon: 66.0 → 86.0 → 78.2
Jaylon Thomas, SMU: 72.2 → 87.3 → 64.1 → 77.1 (from what I can tell played sporadically his freshman year)

I don’t really understand that Walter mock. They have Chicago drafting Anderson then at two they write this
“The Texans won’t be able to get the quarterback they want because of their foolish decision to win in Week 18.”
They have them picking Stroud and Young going at 4 to the Colts
Walterfootball suuuuuuuucks. Charlie Campbell is a pretty good evaluator but also a renowned douche which is why he’s still working for walterfootball

Interesting note for all the people who don’t like PFF, the new Texans OC and the Rams passing game coordinator who interviewed for 2 OC jobs this offseason both used to work there. So just maybe they know a little more about football than anyone wants to admit.

I would love to snag Rush as out 2nd CB pick. I think he goes in the 3rd after his killer senior bowl week

Yeah me too. If he tests like crazy he could even go in the 2nd. I think there’s like a 25-40% chance he goes before Cam Smith, which is nuts.
I expect Rush to go before Smith if the MPHs from the Sr. bowl are verified at the combine.
I agree, my only hangup being if Smith can put up a similarly fast time. I don’t expect that based on what I saw on tape but it wouldn’t shock me.

The evolution of this CB class has been pretty interesting. Used to be a big five or six with a lot of debate over the order. Now the top two have separated themselves for the time being and the others in that group have slid back to varying extents and been joined by the Banks, Rush types.

Yep, but to me the problem is one of information rather than blatant inaccuracy. Like it takes awhile before anyone besides TDN and draft buzz starts putting out scouting reports, it takes awhile before the all-22 becomes accessible widely, it takes awhile for new hires to get vetted which changes the mock calculus, etc…
There will come a tipping point when that gets balanced out by agents who start to ramp up the hype/misinformation on their clients, smokescreen season starts and so on and so forth, but I generally don’t think that kicks into high gear until the combine.
Right and then there is the impact of individual schemes on draft boards. Like Ringo for instance. I still think he’d hold some real appeal to someone like Seattle at 20 provided that they want to be cover 3 heavy going forward.
Totally agree he’s a glove fit there, but typically because they look for different traits in a CB than the rest of the league, they wait to draft CB. Woolen, Sherm, Flowers, Bryant, Maxwell, Tye Smith. Shaq Griffin is about the earliest guy I can remember and he was late 3rd. So unless Ringo really drops, I doubt he’ll wind up there.
Now in some of the Seattle offshoots he makes a ton of sense. I could see Dallas loving him. Indy too, though I don’t know how much cover 3 Gus Bradley is playing anymore.
Well done. I wish I had this much time on my hands.

When I was watching film of the first half of the season, I noticed that we used alot of Cover 1.
As in we only covered 1 guy and the rest were open.
