2021 NFL Draft: NFL Draft Overview, Positional Round Value, and Average Positional Grades Some of the 2021 NFL Draft highlights include: 8 QB's selected in the first three rounds (NFL Record), with 5 going in round one. 14 OT's were selected in the first three rounds (NFL Record). 16 CB's were drafted in the first three rounds (NFL record). The NFL has been evolving into a more pass-heavy league in recent years, and that curve does not look like it will flatten anytime soon as the NFL. As you can see we highlighted above, there were 8 QB's selected in the first three rounds (NFL record), and 14 OT's were chosen between rounds 1-3 (also an NFL record). The 15 WR's drafted between rounds 1-3 tied for fourth-most since the common draft era began in 1967. In 2020, 80% of teams played at least one quarterback who was originally a first-round pick, according to Elias Sports Bureau. Do not expect that 80% number to decrease in 2021. To combat the heavy offensive overflow of talent that teams are loading up on in recent years, teams are loading up on CB's. A record 16 were taken in the first three rounds, and a total of 37 were selected over the course of the 2021 NFL Draft. In the below chart, you will find an overview of the 2021 NFL Draft. We have listed the total number of players drafted in rounds 1-7, with their average drafted by round, highest pick number, and the average player grade using our proprietary grade player analysis grades. Final 2021 NFL Draft Overview The above chart provides an overview of the 2021 NFL Draft. We have listed the total number of players drafted in rounds 1-7, with their average drafted by round, highest pick number, and the average player grade using our proprietary grade player analysis grades. The highest graded position in 2021 is at the QB position, where they average a high 6.6 grade which would categorize the entire position as a Potential Upside caliber group (2nd tier). QB's carry the highest value with an average drafted round of 2.30, followed by OT at 3.24. The lowest draft value in 2021 is at RB, with an average draft round value of 4.80, followed by the safety position. The interior defensive line position was also valued very low, and we knew that might be the case going into the draft due to the lack of high-end prospects at the position. The CB position had the most players drafted in 2021 with an average round drafted of 3.97 which ranks as the 2nd highest on the defensive side of the football.

Evaluating The Addition of Tom Brady In Tampa Using High Impact Play Rate and Situational Analysis Everybody knows that Tom Brady walked right into the perfect situation, or did he? I have been bullish on what I believe Tampa Bay can accomplish with Tom Brady under center. There is no doubt that Brady can make a difference, but there are questions that need to be answered. High Impact Play Rate Analysis (Macro-Level Analysis) To begin the evaluation process, we need to examine the 2019 Tampa Bay offensive High Impact Play Rate (HIP Rate). The HIP Rate provides us with a high-level view of the Tampa Bay 2019 offensive performance. The High Impact Play Rate evaluation will allow us to diagnose the successes or failures of the offensive team performance. 2019 Offensive Hip Rate In 2019 the Tampa Bay offense had the 20th ranked offense according to offensive HIP Rate despite the fact that they ranked 4th in scoring offense (28.2 ppg). The obvious negative for the Bucs in 2019, sacks, and turnovers. Tampa Bay led the league in INT's (30) and ranked 12th in sacks given up (47). Explosive Plays Helped Drive The Bucs Offense In a Positive Way Tampa Bay led the league in explosive plays of 20 yards or more (85), and they led in explosive play rate (7.83%). The Bucs found ways to score and hit the home run play and that kept them in a lot of close games. The Interceptions Were the Ultimate Undoing The difference between the Tampa being a playoff-contending team in the NFC South and their 7-9 finish can be laid at the feet of a 30 interception season. The Bucs lost 6 games by one possession in 2019, including 3 of the 9 within 4 points or less. In all 9 of their losses, they averaged 3.22 turnovers per game (fumbles included) vs their 7 wins where they averaged 1.71 turnovers per game. How Can Tom Brady Impact the Tampa Bay Offense in 2020? The acquisition of Tom Brady was the splash move of the NFL offseason. There is no doubt that Brady's leadership and will to win can make a tremendous difference in Tampa Bay. We have completed every play situational analysis covering 2019 Jameis Winston and 2019 Tom Brady. Situational (every play) Analysis (Micro-Level Analysis) Now that we have diagnosed the Tampa Bay offense using our High Impact Play Rate Rate tool, we can dig deeper in search of the details of what could have affected the performance of Jameis Winston and how Tom Brady can make a difference by evaluating the finer micro-level details for each player. The Five Questions That Need Answers Tampa Bay's 2019 OL performance and who is returning The 2019 Tampa Bay OL held their own in pass pro. We graded them as a B average ranking. The left side of the OL performed at the highest level in 2019 with Ali Marpet grading out the highest with a B+ in pass pro. LT Donovan Smith graded out as a B average performer giving up five sacks in 2019, with LG Ali Marpet allowing two sacks and center Ryan Jenson giving up two sacks. The RG Alex Cappa graded out as the worst OL with a C- pass-blocking grade giving up four sacks, while RT Demar Dotson gave up five sacks. Tampa Bay gave up a total of 47 sacks in 2019, with their starting offensive line being charged with allowing 21 total sacks (this includes reserve OL). The remainder of the sacks is credited to the QB for holding onto the football for too long or evacuating the pocket to soon. The effect QB release time can have on the success of an OL. We can already conclude that the Tampa Bay OL is average to above average. They did draft an instant impact player (Tristan Wirfs) from Iowa, who we believe can provide immediate support at RT as a rookie. What we can gain from the film on Jameis Winston is that, on average, he had adequate time to throw. He did attempt the highest number of passes of any QB in 2019 (626). Winston ranked 8th in the NFL in total QB scrambles (31). On 18 of the 31 scrambles, Winston evacuated the pocket too early, often skittish and not giving his receivers a chance even to finish their routes. Jameis faced the 8th most QB pressures in the league (55) tied with Tom Brady. His average QB release time from snap to throw (2.5 sec). Winston faced the league's 8th highest blitz rate of 38.5%. Winston threw into a tight window on 17% of his throws in 2019 and ranked 31st in the NFL in Bad Throw Rate (20.6%) of his throws were into coverage. Winston's on-target throw rate ranked 34th (69.9%). Tom Brady Comparison Analysis Let's compare 2019, Tom Brady, to 2019 Jameis Winston. Let's start with an overview of the 10th ranked New England Offensive High Impact Play Rate (16.44%). The Patriots offense was efficiency but ranked in the top 10 of explosive play rate. They gave up 12 sacks, 9 INT's, and 3 Fumbles. The Converted 38% of their third down plays. Tampa Bay converted 3% more of their third downs compared to New England in 2019. Both teams ranked in the middle of the league and were average on third-down conversion rate in 2019. The Patriots OL was above average to good and graded out as a B+ in pass pro. They yielded the 27th most sacks in the league (28) with 2019 starting OL being charged with 12 of the 28 total sacks. Brady attempted the 4th most pass attempts (613). Brady, who we know is one of the most patient players in the pocket we have ever seen, scrambled out of pocket only three times. Brady does lack mobility in the pocket, but he is the best at feeling the pressure and sidestepping it to buy time, allowing the WR's to finish their routes or find the open area in coverage. Brady faced pressure on 8.97% of his throws (22nd Most). Brady faced the same number of pressure plays as Winston (55). Tom Brady's QB release time of 2.5 is the same as Jameis Winston's release time. Brady had the 4th highest bad throw rate (20.6%) tied with Winston. Brady had the 22nd highest on-target throw rate (23.1%). Winston's on-target rate of 69.9% ranked 34th. A few additional variables that we are taking into account when comparing Brady vs. Winston include 20+ yd high Impact Pass Plays. Winston ranked 1st in the NFL (113) and Brady, who ranked 15th (60). When attempting a pass in a Big Time Moment, such as a key third down, or critical play at a key moment in the game, Winston ranked 8th (19) vs. Tampa Tom, who ranked 12th (18). Did Bruce Arians and Byron Leftwich's scheme and play-calling hurt Winston's performance? There is no question that Arians likes to open up the offense and attack the defense vertically. Tampa has the weapons to attack vertically, but did they try to attack vertically too much? After reviewing every Winston INT from 2019, we discovered that the Bucs had at least three or more receivers running vertical routes on 19 of the 30 plays where Winston threw an INT. Also, only 1/3 of the plays where Winston threw an INT provided him with a check down out of the backfield. To add insult to injury, Winston faced a 3, or 4 man rush on 20 out of the 30 plays he threw an INT. Winston made a bad read or a bad throw missing the WR either with an overthrow or behind the receiver on 28 of his 30 INT's. There is no doubt that Brady will improve the INT rate, and that alone will win the Bucs a few more games in 2020. Bruce Arians play-calling might need to include more underneath options and check-downs for Brady as he is an excellent short and intermediate thrower. Brady still has the arm strength to go downfield when needed, and even while lacking weapons in New England, Brady still ranked 9th in the NFL in total intended air yds (4638). Winston by comparison, ranked number one in the NFL (6486). The next closest to Winston in intended air yds, Dak Prescott with 5539 intended air yds in 2019. While Winston still ranked atop the league in completed air yds, he only connected on 50.09% of those air yds amassing 3249 completed air yds. Vs. Tom Brady, who was far less impressive who ranked 20th, connecting on 48% of his intended air yds with 2233. The allure of Tom Brady in Tampa Tom Brady is not the Tom Brady from 16-0 2007 New England Patriots, but this might be the best collection of receivers from the TE position, to the outside and slot receivers that Brady has had since the 2007 season. Brady threw for 50 TD's in 2007, and he also had Randy Moss. There is not a Randy Moss on this current Tampa Bay roster, but they do have Mike Evans, who is one of the top vertical threats in the NFL, Chris Godwin who is one of the best route runners can man the slot but will likely play the Z. Bucs fans and players have a lot to be excited about in 2020 but don't expect 2007 Tom Brady to show up. What We Expect to Happen The numbers tell a story of two very different situations, yet both players had their woes in 2019. Brady lacked a deep threat at WR, while Winston had several vertical threats to choose from yet he often chose a player on the opposite team. Brady brings great leadership and experience to a team that has not reached the playoffs since the year mentioned above that Tom Brady and the Pats went 16-0 in the regular season. Let that sink into your mind. The Bucs not only boast a bevy of young talent on offense but their defense when not placed in bad situations by way of offensive turnovers, were very good in 2019. Brady will do what he does best in his 40's, make great decisions from the pocket, and protect the football even when under pressure. Our expectations are very high in Tampa Bay for the 2020 season because of the addition of Tom Brady. The biggest question to be answered will be how well Tom Brady adapts to Bruce Arians or vice versa. If Arians allows Brady to provide some insight into the playcalling or design, that might be the best route to go. I do not expect the Bucs will come out throwing 113 deep routes in 2020; I do expect them to use the pass to open up the run game, which aside from the offensive line, needs to see big improvements in 2020. We have projected that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are capable of winning the NFC South and reaching the NFC Championship game in 2020. For daily analysis, please follow us on Instagram.

Click here to learn more about our updated player grade scale and critical position factors. Player Profile Name: Kayvon Thibodeaux School: Oregon Recruiting Profile: Click Here Position: Edge Rusher Height: 6050 Weight: 260 Year: 3rd Yr/Soph Jersey Number: 5 Defensive Scheme: Multiple 2-4-5, 4-2-5 Defensive Coordinator: Tim Deruyter Games Reviewed: 2021 UCLA, 2021 Washington, 2021 Washington State Position Specific Critical Factors Pass Rush : (8) Near Elite The prospect displays an ability to generate pressure and production on the QB as a rusher. The player must combine the following skills: burst to close, strength/power, elusiveness, and flexibility. The prospect should also have a toolbelt of optional moves to help the player beat his opponent, swim, rip, swipe, etc. 1st Step/Explosiveness: (8) Near Elite The prospect displays explosive quickness/power. The player(s) exhibits good Initial quickness and an ability to close cushion quickly. The prospect demonstrates an ability to penetrate quickly with reaction to 1st movement and anticipatory quickness. Edge Setter/POA: (6) Good The prospect exhibits an ability to negate his opponent's strength with force/stoutness, can stack & neutralize blockers, shows the ability to maintain leverage vs. outside plays with his play strength, hand use, aggression, toughness, and instincts. The prospect can anchor the edge and maintain leverage against the run. Key Strengths Speed to Power Initial Burst Athleticism Key Weaknesses Awareness Run Angles Open Field Tackling Pass Game Summary At 6-5 260lbs, Kayvon Thibodeaux possesses dominant pass-rushing traits that show up on film. His initial burst off the line of scrimmage combined with a good balance of speed to power is precisely what NFL Scouts are looking for in today's edge rushers. He can play with his hand in the dirt or standing up. Thibodeaux is an every-down player who can impact the passing game as a pass rusher from the edge of the defense while also lining up in the middle of the defense as an off-ball LB on occasion. Thibodeaux's athleticism allows the Oregon Ducks to drop him into underneath coverage; while pass coverage is not his primary strength, the ability to do so as a changeup is available. Run Game Summary Kayvon Thibodeaux is a good run defender, but improvement is needed. While watching his film, teams show they can scheme him in the run game via RPO or the zone read. When he takes a wrong angle, his athleticism can bail him out at the collegiate level but will be further exploited against much better NFL athletes. His open-field tackling is also an area that needs to continue to get better. He is a true edge player at the next level who has the strength to be a true edge-setting defensive end. Final Analysis Kayvon Thibodeaux is the exact prototype NFL scouts, and GM's are looking for during their draft evaluation process. He is a chess piece that has great length and athleticism. His initial burst and ability to balance speed to power off the edge is why he is considered a top 5 NFL Draft prospect. He provides a Chase Young level of potential at the next level. Final Grade Analysis Final Grade: (7.7) (Instant Impact Potential) (9.0-7.0) High-End Starter Ceiling Grade: (8.4) (Instant Impact Potential) (9.0-7.0) High-End Starter Floor Grade: (6.8) (High Upside Potential) (6.9-6.7) Solid Starter Level
