  • 2020 NFL Coach of The Year Candidate: The Cleveland Browns Kevin Stefanski

    2020 NFL Coach of The Year Candidate: The Cleveland Browns Kevin Stefanski The Cleveland Browns are on the cusp of reaching the NFL playoffs for the first time since 2002. The Browns went 9-7 under then Head Coach Butch Davis and QB Tim Couch. They would go on to lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wildcard round of the Playoffs. After a 2-4 start, The Browns spent most of the 2002 season around .500 before closing out the season, winning on the road at Baltimore and Home vs. Atlanta. Since 2002, Cleveland has not returned to the playoffs. If you were to ask most Cleveland Browns fans in recent years what they thought would happen first, Cleveland makes it to the playoffs, or man returns to the moon, they would most certainly believe that man would land on the moon again before the Browns would make the playoffs. Still, Browns fans who are considered to be among the loyalist of fans in the NFL remain loyal to their team, and that loyalty appears to have finally come full circle as the Browns are poised to reach a double-digit win season for the first time since 2007 (10-6). The Kevin Stefanski Effect in Cleveland During the offseason, I discussed the Kevin Stefanski effect in Cleveland, his approach, and how the Browns already had the personnel to run his offensive scheme. I wanted to quickly re-examine that analysis since the Browns are starting to get hot at the right time. Personnel Groups and Setefanski's Willingness to Adapt I pointed out how Kevin Stefanski utilized 12 personnel at the 2nd highest rate in the NFL in 2019 (34%). So far in 2020, the Stefanski led Cleveland Browns like to operate out of 12 Personnel on 24% of their plays, the 8th highest in the NFL this season. Cleveland operated out of 12 personnel in 2019 at a 23% rate. So the difference for Cleveland YOY is minimal, vs. his usage of 12 personnel in Minnesota; it's a significant difference. The reason? The Browns came into the season with Austin Hooper and David Njoku. Njoku missed time with injury earlier in the season, and their usage of a 2 RB or a 21, 22 personnel with both Chubb and Hunt increased. This proves that Stefanski can quickly adapt his system to the personnel based on the circumstance, which is the mark of an excellent football coach. Regardless of the personnel groups, the Browns are more efficient in the run game out of 12 Personnel YOY, averaging 6.2 yds per rush attempt vs. 4.5 in 2019. The Browns passing game out of 12 Personnel averaging 8.1 yds per attempt in 2020 vs. 9.2 in 2019, but they are more efficient. In 2019 Browns QB's threw 2 INT's and were sacked five times out of 12 Personnel vs. 2019, where they have only turned it over one time and while surrendering a single sack. The passer rate has also improved by 3.4 points YOY from 100.5 to 103.9. Staying Ahead of The Chains The other area we examined, Cleveland's inability to stay ahead of the chains in 2019. During the summer, I wrote that Kevin Stefanski was a very run-heavy play-caller on 1st down, calling a run on 57% of Viking first down play calls. The Vikings averaged 5.5 yds per play, both running and passing on first downplays. On 2nd down, they remained balanced, running the ball 51% of the time while averaging 6.0 yds per play (run or pass), ranking 6th in the NFL. 2019 Browns 1st Down Offensive Efficiency In 2019, the Browns were not bad on first down yds per play average (5.7), ranking in the top third of the NFL, while remaining balanced running the football 51% of the time. The Browns did throw 7 INT's on first down plays (Bot 3rd). 2019 Browns 2nd Down Offensive Efficiency On 2nd downplays, Cleveland actually faired better in yds per play than the Vikings at 6.1 yds per play (5th), but again they threw 6 INT's on 2nd downplays (Bot 3rd). In 2019 the Browns ran the football 38% of the time on 2nd down, throwing balance out the window and attributed to several early-down sacks. Browns QB's were sacked 17 times on 1st down in 2019 (Bot 3rd), likely leading to the league's 7th worst yds to go average on 2nd down of 8.4 yds. 2020 Cleveland Browns Early Down Efficiency In 2020 under Stefanski, the Browns are 2nd in 1st down yds per attempt and have only surrendered four first down sacks (4th). On second down, the Browns are more balanced running the football on 45% of their 2nd down attempts and average 5.7 yds per play (15Th). The Browns are 12th in average yds to go on 2nd down (7.6) and have given up only nine sacks (Top 3rd). The Browns are .8 yds better per play on 2nd down compared to 2019. Success on Early Downs Have Improved The Browns Third Down Success Early down success and staying ahead of the chains lead to more success on third downplays. In 2019 the Browns ranked in the bottom third of the NFL in third-down yds to go average (7.5) and averaged 4.5 yds per play (Bot 3rd). Cleveland also gave up 17 sacks on third down (Near the bot 3rd). The Browns were also in the bottom third of the NFL in third-down conversion rate (36.3%). 2020 Cleveland Browns 3rd down Efficiency In 2020, the Browns are near the top third of the NFL in average yds to go on third-down plays (6.7) and are tied for 1st in the NFL in third-down sacks allowed (3). The Browns are in the middle third in average third down yds per play but convert at a 44% clip (top 3rd). The Browns have thrown 4 INT's on third down marking the only real negative for them in this much-improved area. The Future of the Browns The Browns have the Ravens, Giants, Jets, and Steelers remaining in 2020. They need to win 2 of 4 to secure themselves a spot in the playoffs completely. They can certainly go 10-6 and still be in, but why leave it to chance. The Brown's emphatic beatdown of the Titans this past Sunday is the signature win they needed to solidify their status as real playoff contenders. If they can beat the Ravens or Steelers in the next four games, that would put them in serious Super Bowl contention, and if they beat both the Steelers and the Ravens, the spotlight will shine brighter on the City of Cleveland than ever before. Browns fans have a lot to be excited about in 2020 and beyond. The Brown's ascension to the playoffs in 2020 probably feels like a shot to the stars. If the Browns land on the moon, that's a tremendous success; anything beyond the moon could lead them to an AFC title game, the Browns first since the game vs. the Broncos in 1989 "The Drive" and John Elway who broke the hearts of Cleveland fans with an epic 99-yard game-winning drive.

  • 2022 NFL Draft Profile: Michigan Edge Rusher Aidan Hutchinson

    2022 NFL Draft Profile: Michigan Edge Rusher Aidan Hutchinson Click Here to view our NFL Draft Big Board with player rankings and analysis. Click here to learn more about our updated player grade scale and critical position factors Player Profile Name: Aidan Hutchinson School: Michigan Recruiting Profile: Click Here Position: Edge Rusher Height: 6051 Weight: 265 Year: SR/2022 Jersey Number: 97 Defensive Scheme: Multiple 2-4-5, 3-4-4 Defensive Coordinator: Mike Macdonald , Don Brown Games Reviewed: 2021 Washington, 2021 Michigan State, 2021 Nebraska, 2021 Penn State, 2019 Iowa, 2019 Penn State, 2019 Ohio State Position Specific Critical Factors Pass Rush : (8) Near Elite Ability to generate pressure and production on the QB as a rusher. The prospect combines the following: burst to close, strength/power, elusiveness, and athleticism. Keeping in mind: his array of pass rush moves and pass rush style. 1st Step/Explosiveness: (7) Very Good First step get off-speed, explosive quickness/power are key. Initial quickness, quick to close space, ability to penetrate with reaction to 1st movement, and anticipatory quickness. 1st step length . Edge Setter/POA: (8) Near Elite Ability to negate his opponent's strength with forces or stoutness (stack & neutralize blockers), maintain leverage vs. outside plays with his strength, hand use, aggression, toughness, and instincts. What is his ability to hold/anchor the edge or run lane to his outside gap responsibility? Key Strengths High Motor Power/Strength Awareness Key Weaknesses Improve Counter Moves Over Pursuit Angles Pass Game Summary Aidan Hutchinson is a dominant pass rusher who uses a combination of speed and power to win at the point of attack. He plays with a high motor making his presence felt on nearly every snap opening up opportunities for others to make plays when opposing offenses make it a priority to block him. Hutchinson is an every-down player who can play with his hand in the dirt or standing up. He is not a player who will drop into pass coverage by necessity but shows enough athleticism to settle into a curl or flat area as a changeup. Run Game Summary Hutchinson is a strong-run defender who can set the edge. He possesses good run pursuit and tackling ability. He does an excellent job of tracking the football from inside out, using his power and low pad level to outmaneuver his blocker(s). In 2021, Hutchinson is playing the edge standing up in a 3-4 scheme under new Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald. Hutchinson has experience lining up inside (4i or 3T) under his former Defensive Coordinator, Don Brown, further adding to his versatility as an every-down and situational defender. Final Analysis Aidan Hutchinson's dominance in 2021 has elevated his draft stock. His ability as a High Impact Player has also elevated Michigan's defense from one of the worst in CFB in 2020 under former defensive coordinator Don Brown to a top 10 level in 2021 under new Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald. In the new Mike Macdonald Baltimore Ravens 3-4 base scheme, Michigan plays a lot of one high man and cover three that rely on consistent pressure, especially from the edge of the defense. Aidan Hutchinson has been the critical ingredient to Michigan's successful pass rush in 2021 under Mike Macdonald. His high motor as a pass rusher and his ability to take on double teams with consistent ease has opened up opportunities for other players on the defense to flourish. Hutchinson shows high-level NFL traits comparable to the Bosa brothers or T.J. Watt. An area where Hutchinson can differentiate himself is with overall athleticism. According to Michigan football strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert, Hutchinson posted a 4.64sec forty-yard dash, 36in vertical, 6.54sec 3 cone, and 4.07sec shuttle. All of these numbers are better than both of the Bosa's, and nearly all of T.J. Watts posted NFL Combine results, with the exception of T.J. Watt’s 37in vertical. 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: (7.4) (Instant Impact Potential) (9.0-7.0) High-End Starter

  • 2021 Preseason NFL Overall Team Offense Top 10 Grades/Rankings

    2021 Preseason NFL Overall Team Offense Top 10 Grades/Rankings Over the last five weeks, we have covered the top offenses and defenses using different categories. For offense, we graded and ranked passing offense, run offense, receivers, run blocking, and pass blocking. On the defensive side of the football, we graded and ranked the top pass-rush, run stop, and pass coverage defenses. The results of each, when combined, provide us with a preseason situational analysis grade for both the offense and defense of every NFL team that we use to determine NFL power rankings, the strength of schedule for all teams, and projected win totals. About The Analysis Today's analysis wraps up our total offensive team grades combining passing offense, run offense, run blocking, and pass blocking team grades. The average for each team determines how a team will be ranked heading into the 2021 NFL season. The Grade Scale The team grades use the individual player grades to get an average for each category. For offense, it's passing, the run offense, receivers, run blocking, and pass blocking. As mentioned above, we use pass rush, run stop, and pass coverage for the defense. The scale is a 1 to 10 rating scale, with one being the lowest and ten being the highest. On average, based on preliminary analysis, a grade of 6 to 6.99 is a playoff-caliber position group, or if the entire offensive grade is in the area of 6 to 6.99, that will represent a playoff-caliber offense. A seven or higher average represents a Super Bowl Caliber offense, defense, or position group.

  • NFL Week Three: High Impact Game of The Week Ravens vs Chiefs Reviewed

    NFL Week Three: High Impact Game of The Week Ravens vs Chiefs Reviewed Featured Analysis High Impact Play Rate And Every Play Analysis Our High Impact Game of The Week will highlight a different team each week during the NFL season by taking a more in-depth look at the matchup using our High Impact Play Rate analysis combined with our every play analysis. What is High Impact Play Rate? High Impact Play Rate accounts for big in-game moments such as sacks, turnovers, TFL's, and explosive plays. Our High Impact Play Rate analysis works as a diagnostic tool created to help identify the critical areas of focus when performing an every play film review. What is an Every Play Analysis? We created a customizable (to fit your needs) every play evaluation process made for coaches that analyzes every situation, from down & distance, field position, offensive and defensive personnel groupings, play type, and play area. The custom analysis process can use 70 different metrics, more or less, based on your needs. Ravens vs. Chiefs Game Report and Final Review. Our High Impact Play game of the week featured the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. Damned if you do, damned if you don't The story of the night, the Ravens blitzed, and Mahomes made them pay. Mahomes completed 17-21 passes for 219 yards and three TD's when the Ravens brought five or more pass rushers. The most impressive throw against the blitz came on a 49 yard TD pass off his back foot with a man in his face to Mecole Hardman on a third down and 14. The Chief's offense looks unstoppable The Chiefs offense is a juggernaut with the right blend of players and coaches. The creativity was on full display early in the game when Patrick Mahomes threw an awkward-looking shovel pass to his FB Anthony Sherman, who would score from five yards out on 3rd down. The creativity would continue in critical moments throughout the night, allowing the Chiefs to convert on third downs multiple times. When the Ravens defense appeared poised to get off of the field, the Chiefs offense would convert. On third down, the Chiefs converted 10 for 13 vs. the Ravens 3 for 9. Third down in a big game like this once again proves to be the key to winning or losing. Chiefs dominate in the red zone In the red zone, the Chiefs were a perfect 3 of 3, vs. The Ravens 1 of 4. The Raven's inability to convert on third down and in the red zone would be their ultimate undoing. Mahomes can take over a game (is he the Michael Jordan of Football)? Mahomes finished the night with 385 yards and five total TD's (4 Passing, one rushing). Lamar Jackson Struggled Lamar Jackson struggled to throw the football. The game started well for Lamar when he ripped off an early zone-read run for 30 yards on the opening drive. The Ravens would get into the red zone, and the offense would sputter, leading to a field goal attempt. Jackson's struggles were aided throughout the night by his WR's and TE's, who dropped five passes. Two of the drops by my count would have been TD's, including the most obvious to Mark Andrews when the Ravens were fighting their way back into the game midway through the third QTR. Lamar Could not get into a rhythm Lamar Jackson could not get into a good rhythm throwing the football. He did manage to rush for 83 yards, but he did not surpass 100 yards passing. The Chiefs, as described by Jackson last night, did a lot of the same stuff on defense that the Titans were doing to him in last year's playoffs (something to dig into more later). The Ravens with Lamar Jackson as the starting QB are winless in games where they trailed by 10+ points at halftime One stat that was brought up, and I cannot remember who said it this morning, so forgive me, is that Lamar is 0-9 in games when the Ravens trail by ten or more points at halftime. This stat's significance is alarming, yet it makes sense considering the style of offense that the Ravens like to play. The Ravens offense is predicated on the run game and controlling the clock. I brought this up yesterday in the game preview when I discussed how important it would be for the Ravens to not fall behind by two or more scores as they did a year ago against the Chiefs. The Ravens committing uncharacteristic penalties One other major factor that did not helo the Ravens, penalties. The Ravens came into his game with zero penalties against them. They would finish the game committing 6 for 45 yards. The penalties were often at inopportune moments that would result in a 2nd or 3rd and long situation for the Ravens. You cannot aid that struggle by committing multiple undisciplined errors in a game where you are struggling to throw the football for 100 yards. The winner of this game is in the driver seat for a first-round bye The winner of this game is in the driver seat to obtain the first-round bye. The Chiefs look unbeatable after watching them destroy the Ravens. Spread, Game Total Chiefs covered, game total 54 (under) Player Matchup of The Week Patrick Mahomes: 31-42, 385 yds passing, 4TD's, 0 sacks, Rating: 133.5, 4 rush attempts for 26 yds, and 1 TD.

  • Using the Advanced QB Throw Depth Report To ID the NFL's Top Deep Ball Passers Through 7 Weeks

    Using the Advanced QB Throw Depth Report To ID the NFL's Top Deep Ball Passers Through 7 Weeks Access this and all of our advanced stats reports by becoming a Football Scout 365 Pro Plus Subscriber ; Click here to learn more . What is Our NFL Advanced QB Throw Depth Report The NFL Advanced Throw Depth Report analyzes QB success based on throw depth. Each throw depth varies, short throws (0-9 yds), medium throws (10-19 yds), and deep throws (20+ Yds). The Analysis This week, we take a look at the Advanced QB Throw Depth Report to identify the NFL's top deep ball passers. The three data points we will focus on are total deep ball yards , percentage of yards accumulated on throws of 20+ yards or more downfield, and deep passing completion rate. Analysis Qualifier *Minimum 50 total pass attempts The Top QB's Total Yards Accumulated On Throws Of 20+ Yards or Longer. The top total deep passing yard leaders on throws Of 20+ Yards or longer include Derek Carr (675), Matthew Stafford (665), Kyler Murray (605), Josh Allen (543), and Lamar Jackson (521). Lamar Jackson stands out on this list and if you didn't already know, the Ravens have been throwing the football at a higher rate in 2021 than in prior years with Lamar Jackson at QB. Lamar Jackson has also accumulated more deep passing yards than Patrick Mahomes. The Top QB's With The Highest Rate of Deep Passing Yards The QB's with the highest rate of deep passing yards is Russell Wilson (39%), Zach Wilson (36%), Kyler Murray (35%), Matthew Stafford (34%), and Josh Allen (34%). One notable player is Carson Wentz at 7th, amassing 31% of his total passing yards on deep throws. In this category, Patrick Mahomes is outside of the top ten so far this season, with 27% of his total yards coming from the deep ball, which might be a surprise to many. The Top QB's With The Highest Deep Passing Completion Rate The Top QB's with the Highest Deep Passing Completion rate so far include Kyler Murray (63%), Matthew Stafford (53%), Zach Wilson (52%), Jacoby Brissett (50%), and Russell Wilson (50%). The QB's With The Lowest Deep Passing Completion Rate Now let's take a look from the other side of the spectrum in regards to deep completion rate; we have Jared Goff (22%) last among all passers with at least 50 total pass attempts, followed by Jameis Winston (24%), Ryan Tannehill (28%), Big Ben (29%) and Davis Mills at (31%).

  • 2021 NFL Draft: Grading Round One of The NFL Draft

    2021 NFL Draft: Grading Round One of The NFL Draft The first round provided us with a few surprises, as always. The first seven picks were from the offensive side of the football (NFL Draft record). The draft order changed a few times as teams were moving back after their potential primary targets were off the board, and one team of note moved up, the Chicago Bears, who got a steal at pick #11 with Ohio State QB Justin Fields. Full NFL Draft grades will be released early next week. (1) JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: QB TREVOR LAWRENCE, CLEMSON Football Scout 365 Rank: 1 Pos Rk: 1 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: A+ The chalk of the draft for months, Urban Meyer has his guy. Meyer made it clear he would go best available, and he didn’t disappoint with two round one picks; he goes with two dynamic Clemson players. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Trevor Lawrence has been the projected consensus number one pick in the 2021 NFL draft since the 2019 season. Lawrence is as close to a sure thing we have seen since Andrew Luck at the QB position. Lawrence possesses the physical gifts and leadership ability needed to excel at a high level in the NFL. (2) NEW YORK JETS: QB ZACH WILSON, BYU Football Scout 365 Rank: 5 Pos Rk: 3 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: A Zack Wilson has the arm talent and the skills to be a very exciting player. The Jets should do their best to build around Zack Wilson. They need defenders, but they also should focus on identifying a high upside WR in later rounds. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Wilson has been stellar in 2020 following an injury-riddled 2019 season. He is catching a lot of buzz in 2020 due to his high level of play. But the competition he has faced is not on the level of Lawrence or Justin Fields, which is why I was not as high on him. Times have changed, and after further review of his player skillset and watching his tape, I have warmed up to Wilson's upside and potential. (3) SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: QB TREY LANCE, NORTH DAKOTA STATE Football Scout 365 Rank: 20 Pos Rk: 5 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: A- According to sources, it came down to Trey Lance or Mac Jones, and they chose the QB with arguably the highest upside at a position of need. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Trey lance is an exceptional athlete who possesses excellent deep-ball accuracy. What Lance doesn't show a lot of on film is his short to intermediate accuracy, and that's an area that he might need time to develop. Lance is not a scheme-dependent player; he can fit in any system and excel more in a play-action-based offense. When compared to other prospects, Lance lacks reps. He played one game in 2020, with 2019 being his only full season as a starter. More repetition in camps and practice at the NFL level might help develop Lance's high ceiling. (4) ATLANTA FALCONS: TE KYLE PITTS, FLORIDA Football Scout 365 Rank: 8 Pos Rk: 1 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: B+ The Falcons need a lot, and they chose a TE at 4th overall. They had a shot at getting Penei Sewell or even Justin Fields. Pitts is arguably the surest thing in the draft, so the pick should pay off. The Falcons will need to lean on their scouting department to get the rest of the draft right. OL should be a priority with their next pick. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Pitts is a special player who fits the mold of what NFL GM's and coaches are looking for in today's football. He can move around the formation, play inline, and split out wide. He is very athletic, with great hands. Pitts, a former QB, is an elite athlete with an elite skill set. Whoever drafts him will be getting an elite talent. (5) CINCINNATI BENGALS: WR JA’MARR CHASE, LSU Football Scout 365 Rank: 6 Pos Rk: 2 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: B+ With Penei Sewell available, the Bengals chose WR. The goal should be to protect your greatest asset, but the Chase pick has high end potential in the long run. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Chase broke the SEC single-season receiving record in 2019 and was one of Joe Burrows's go-to WR's. Chase has great hands, is a good route runner, and is good running after the catch. He is also a willing blocker in the run game. The big question is how well he will play outside of the structure he had at LSU under OC Joe Brady and catching passes from Joe Burrow, who had a historic season. Chase is an outstanding player who will undoubtedly find his way at the next level regardless of the system. (6) MIAMI DOLPHINS: WR JAYLEN WADDLE, ALABAMA Football Scout 365 Rank: 7 Pos Rk: 3 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: B+ Waddle is a special player with a dynamic skillset. He could arguably be the top WR in this class. The Dolphins filled a need at WR; now get some protection for Tua. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Waddle is a versatile athlete; he can line up anywhere on the field. He is by far the most difficult player to defend in the 2021 NFL Draft. DB's struggle to get their hands on him at the line of scrimmage, and while in coverage, they often are left behind in his wake. His route running ability and precise cuts allow him to get separation from DB's. Unlike Ruggs (many compare to Ruggs), Waddle is not just a straight-line speed player who relies on downfield throws; he is effective at all levels displaying great hands, and can high point the football with ease. He might be the next Tyreek Hill in the NFL (not a comp, or even a guarantee); Waddle is an undersized player yet possesses top-level NFL WR traits. It would be best if you always had an extra set of eyes on him (help defender). Waddle wins one on one with ease. Waddle could quickly become the top WR in this draft once we look back in hindsight. (7) DETROIT LIONS: OT PENEI SEWELL, OREGON Football Scout 365 Rank: 2 Pos Rk: 1 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: A+ The Lions hit a home run with Sewell. He provides 10-12 years of all-pro potential at one of the most critical positions. His versatility will help the Lions right away. He can play guard if needed early. The Lions have a lot of needs, but they started the draft off perfect. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Sewell received better grades in 2019 than other highly rated tackle prospects entering the 2020 NFL Draft. The talent is unquestioned, and if it were not for the strong QB class, Sewell would be the top player drafted in 2021. He is versatile, can play IOL if needed. Sewell is a mauler in the run game who can move his defender with ease. He can get to the second level and attach to defenders in space. In pass pro, He plays with a solid base and is fundamentally sound using good hand placement. What concerns me is that he didn't face many versatile edge players in college in the Pac 12. But he is also only 20 years old, meaning that he holds great value in terms of potential years he can play. (8) CAROLINA PANTHERS: CB JAYCEE HORN, SOUTH CAROLINA Football Scout 365 Rank: 21 Pos Rk: 3 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: B- Two months ago, this pick made sense, but with Justin Fields and Mac Jones available, the Panthers passed. They could have traded back but chose to fill a need at CB. It’s a good pick, and they grade well for it but might have been better off taking a shot at QB. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report The son of former NFL WR Joe Horn, Jacee has the pedigree and is a late riser on our board. He is a solid cover corner, can play zone and press. He needs to improve his tackling. (9) DENVER BRONCOS: CB PATRICK SURTAIN II, ALABAMA Football Scout 365 Rank: 9 Pos Rk: 1 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: B+ Denver didn’t completely fall flat, they made a good choice, but they need a QB. They had the opportunity to go with Fields or Jones, and they passed. John Elway's future continues to be cloudy unless they are working on packaging a deal for Aaron Rodgers. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report The son of a former NFL player, Surtain has the pedigree. He is a long-player who plays with discipline. Surtain excels in man to man but can play zone when needed. He is not a speedy player, but he masks his lack of long speed by playing with great technique. He does an excellent job at challenging receivers at the line of scrimmage—Surtain projects as the top CB prospect in the 2021 NFL draft. (10) PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: WR DEVONTA SMITH, ALABAMA Football Scout 365 Rank: 1 Pos Rk: 1 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: A A home runto fill a need, especially if you think that Hurts is the answer at QB. The Eagles could have picked Mac Jones or Justin Fields, but they must believe in Hurts enough to pass on a QB. Now the Eagles must work to solidify their defense. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Smith is an absolute gamer who rises to the occasion in the big moments. His combination of quick, efficient footwork, great hands, and fluid route running are tailor-made for the NFL. Smith was second fiddle to Waddle before the Waddle injury. Smith proved before the Waddle injury that he could handle the number one role in the Alabama offense. (11) CHICAGO BEARS: QB JUSTIN FIELDS, OHIO STATE Football Scout 365 Rank: 3 Pos Rk: 2 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: A+ The Bears traded up for the potential steal of the draft. Justin Fields fell out of the top ten, but it was inevitable that someone would trade up, or he would not make it past the Pats. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Fields displayed some inconsistent play in 2020, but we have to consider that Ohio State had several games canceled, and the Big Ten's stringent Covid-19 protocols being a factor in how a team can practice and how that might play a role. Fields put on a show against Clemson in the CFP Semifinal, showing the elite level accuracy that was consistent in 2019. He is a near-lock for the number two overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. (12) DALLAS COWBOYS: LB MICAH PARSONS, PENN STATE Football Scout 365 Rank: 13 Pos Rk: 1 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: A+ Micah Parsons is an excellent LB who can be a chess piece on defense. He can man the middle and lead the defense and line up on the edge providing versatility. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report LB's ranked this high need to be unique, and Parsons is a real difference-maker. He possesses modern speed and old-school size that NFL coaches and GM's covet. Parsons's ability to sniff out the run game is tremendous. But his speed is undeniable; he possesses 4.3 or low 4.4 speed at a position that needs to cover the NFL's new age TE's. He needs to improve his pass coverage ability at the next level. (13) LOS ANGELES CHARGERS: T RASHAWN SLATER, NORTHWESTERN Football Scout 365 Rank: 12 Pos Rk: 3 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: A This pick gets an A+; first, off you fill a need; second, you are working to protect your greatest asset (Justin Herbert). Slater is a versatile player, which is the theme of this draft at the tackle position. He can play guard if needed and should provide an early impact as a rookie. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Slater can play tackle or guard. He is a powerful athlete who wins with fundamentals and good power. He plays with good bend and is consistent with his pad level. He plays with good footwork; his first step allows him to position and leveraging his frame to wall off defenders. His hand placement is consistent and adequate to win at the NFL level. He needs to work on his ability to drive defenders off the football in the run game more consistently, using his power and an excellent base to fire into the defender. (14) NEW YORK JETS: IOL ALIJAH VERA-TUCKER, USC Football Scout 365 Rank: 18 Pos Rk: 1 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: A The Jet's second pick shows that the front office knows what they are doing on paper. Tucker is a versatile player who played tackle and guard in college. He is once again among players who provide great versatility. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Tucker is our top interior offensive lineman due to his versatility. He played tackle and guard while at USC; he excelled at both. He plays with good athleticism and shows good bend. He has the power to punch defenders back in the passing game, reset and punch again. He knows how to handle a bull-rushing defender and handles space well. As a run blocker, he gets good push and uses his lower body in combination with his punch to strike defenders and move them. He fits any scheme at the NFL level. (15) NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: QB MAC JONES, ALABAMA Football Scout 365 Rank: 15 Pos Rk: 4 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: A The Pats got their guy or at least one of their favorites. Jones provides instant upside. He might already be at his ceiling, but his game is predicated on being a distributor, which fits well as we already know in New England. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Mac Jones had the highest QBR vs. top 25 opponents among all QB’s with at least 100 pass attempts since 2014. (To qualify, the player must start 75% of his team's games). Mac Jones had a fantastic season in 2020. Jones ascension up NFL draft boards, earning a potential first-round projection from a lot of scouts. Jones is a pure pocket passer with good mobility. He is an anticipatory thrower who identifies the opening in coverage and leads his receivers to that spot. Jones doesn't wow you with his physique, and he won't wow anyone with arm strength, but it is his ability to go through his progressions and find the open man while navigating the pocket that sets him apart. Jones will not wow anyone with off-platform throws or wild adlibbing, but in a prostyle system that involves timing and rhythm passing, he can excel. (16) ARIZONA CARDINALS: LB ZAVEN COLLINS, TULSA Football Scout 365 Rank: 26 Pos Rk: 3 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: B- A need has been filled. Collins is another positionless LB. They already have Simmons. The Cardinals need to figure out the best way to use these versatile LB's. Collins is a very good player who was opportunistic in college. He created turnovers and was good in coverage. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Arguably the most dynamic defender in CFB, Collins played several high school positions, including QB and safety. Collins is an intelligent player who uses his size, quickness, and power to make splash plays. He won the Nagurski award in 2020 as the nation's top LB, and he did so by posting big play after big play compiling 4 sacks, forcing two fumbles while picking off 4 passes, and scoring two times on defense. He is what NFL defenses are looking for in a LB. A guy who can rush the passer and pass cover when needed. (17) LAS VEGAS RAIDERS: T ALEX LEATHERWOOD, ALABAMA Football Scout 365 Rank: 17 Pos Rk: 4 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: B+ The Raiders get an A, but their need is more self-inflicted. They are rebuilding an OL that was already pretty good. Regardless, they get a guy with a high upside at a position of need. Leatherwood has the versatility to play both guard or tackle. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Leatherwood is another tackle who can move to guard, he is versatile, and that is important in the NFL, where a guy who possesses the ability to play inside and out is a valuable trait. He plays with power and aggression; he can operate as a road grader in the run game. As a pass blocker, he needs work; he is adequate and might be a liability early in his career if playing tackle. He possesses the ability to handle quick edge rushers, but he doesn't play well against those possessing a litany of combo moves. Leatherwood might benefit from a year at guard where he doesn't have to cover as wide an area, but there is no doubt he has the size and enough tools already to become an NFL starter with a season of development? (18) MIAMI DOLPHINS: EDGE JAELEN PHILLIPS, MIAMI (FL.) Football Scout 365 Rank: 24 Pos Rk: 2 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: B+ The Dolphin's second pick fills another need. Phillips provides a high end upside. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Phillips is an exciting prospect. He was a five-star recruit who had a lot of ability when he arrived at UCLA; he had a few injuries that sidelined him and forced him to retire from football. Phillips questioned his passion for the game at one point. Phillips un-retired and transferred to Miami to get a fresh start; he had an excellent 2020. Phillips is a physical player at 6-6 260 lbs. He shines when pass rushing and against the run. He is a versatile defender who has that rare blend of speed to power off the edge that is eye-opening. He can play with his hand in the dirt or a two-point. He can rush from the interior when needed, which adds to his versatility. The big questions are, does he love the game? Can he remain healthy, and his experience. He has the tools to be a high-impact NFL starter. (19) WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM: LB JAMIN DAVIS, KENTUCKY Football Scout 365 Rank: 140 Pos Rk: 13 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Developmental Pick Grade: C- We are not as high on Davis as others, but he does check a lot of boxes. He is an inside off the ball defender who has good sideline to sideline instincts and will add yet another dimension to the defense. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report None Available (20) NEW YORK GIANTS: WR KADARIUS TONEY, FLORIDA Football Scout 365 Rank: 28 Pos Rk: 5 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: C+ The Giants were candidates to go after WR, but with Slayton, Golladay, and Engram in the fold, the Giants could have filled a more glaring need. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Fast, with track speed, a versatile player who played QB in HS. Toney projects as a slot WR with a limited route tree that needs to be diversified. He can break a game wide open in the blink of an eye and line up all over the formation and in the backfield when needed. (21) INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: EDGE KWITY PAYE, MICHIGAN Football Scout 365 Rank: 16 Pos Rk: 1 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: B+ The Colts snagged best available at one of the most valued positions in football, so it's hard to argue. But they need to solidify their LT spot. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Paye is an explosive athlete who has yet to reach his full potential. He uses a blend of speed, power, and hand usage to defeat blockers. His game is not perfect, but his ceiling is very high. Paye was not a full-time starter at Michigan until 2020. He is a player with a lot of drive and motivation that we believe can fuel him at the next level. (22) TENNESSEE TITANS: CB CALEB FARLEY, VIRGINIA TECH Football Scout 365 Rank: 10 Pos Rk: 2 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: A Need filled by a high-level player. Our second-rated CB prospect in 2021, but he does have some injury concerns. Regardless, when healthy, he provides high upside at a key position. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Farley played QB in HS and started his VT career at WR. He is now the 2nd rated CB on our board. At 6-2, 197, he has good physical traits. Farley excels in man coverage, mirrors routes at a high level, and is physical. He needs to improve his zone coverage skills at the next level. (23) MINNESOTA VIKINGS: T CHRISTIAN DARRISAW, VIRGINIA TECH Football Scout 365 Rank: 11 Pos Rk: 2 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: A Need filled at a critical position. Darrisaw is a very good player who will fit into the Viking's offensive scheme right away. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Darrisaw consistently improved while at Va Tech. He is known more as an excellent pass blocker who wins with his feet in pass protection. Speed rushers beware; Darrisaw understands how to defend against versatile rushers who like to throw changeups in the middle of pass rush. He improved in this area over the years, proving he can win one on one in space vs. athletic defenders. As a run blocker, he is agile; he can locate a defender and latch on in space. The knock-on Darrisaw can have moments of inconsistency or a half-hearted effort that happens far less in 2020 than previous years, proving his consistent upward arch of improvement. (24) PITTSBURGH STEELERS: RB NAJEE HARRIS, ALABAMA Football Scout 365 Rank: 19 Pos Rk: 1 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: A Steelers fans wanted Najee, but the Steelers need blockers upfront. The pick grades well, but they need to lean on their scouting department to identify who to go after in later rounds to solidify their OL. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Hard to tackle, shifty, yet not a burner. At times, Harris has shown a lack of discipline as a runner, but in the 2020 SEC title game, and CFP, Harris has come on strong displaying a high level of athleticism as both a runner and a pass-catcher. He can run high at times at 6-2, but that's not a major factor. He is a more dynamic receiver than he gets credit for, and that's the differentiating factor in our rankings; he displayed high-level receiver skills in 2020, at times reminding me of a young Lev Bell. (25) JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: RB TRAVIS ETIENNE, CLEMSON Football Scout 365 Rank: 22 Pos Rk: 2 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Instant Impact Potential Pick Grade: B+ Urban said best available throughout, and he did not disappoint. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report The ACC's all-time rusher, he could have left Clemson a season ago but decided to return. Etienne plays with great burst and contact balance and is an excellent pass catcher. His skill set is that of the new age NFL RB's (Kamara, CMC, Barkley). Where he needs improvement is as a pass blocker and with fumbles. The positives for Etienne outweigh the negatives. (26) CLEVELAND BROWNS: CB GREG NEWSOME II, NORTHWESTERN Football Scout 365 Rank: 32 Pos Rk: 4 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: B- The Browns are in a spot where they don’t have a massive need. We projected LB throughout the last few months but they chose one of the top CB's instead. They will have options at LB in later rounds. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report A versatile defender who can excel in a cover three or press-man defense. He plays with a long frame at 6-1 and has the speed to stay in the receivers' hip pocket. He uses his body well to defend, not allowing receivers to box him out, and shows a knack for tracking the football down the field. He is an NFL-style outside corner. His primary issue is that he gets grabby at times in man to man. He won't be able to get away with that at the NFL level. (27) BALTIMORE RAVENS: WR RASHOD BATEMAN, MINNESOTA Football Scout 365 Rank: 48 Pos Rk: 7 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: A- Home run pick for a team a year late in grabbing a guy already. Bateman provides instant value. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report Bateman is a versatile player; he is a good route runner, has excellent ball skills, and has good size. He is not a player who takes the top off of a defense, but he does have the frame to box out a defender in a tight area, displaying an ability to attack the football at its highest point. His precision as a route runner is where he finds separation. (28) NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: EDGE PAYTON TURNER, HOUSTON Football Scout 365 Rank: 116 Pos Rk: 16 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Developmental Pick Grade: C- Not a highly scouted player on our end. According to other scouts, he shined at the Senior Bowl off the radar, and that’s where the people began to fall in love. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report None Available (29) GREEN BAY PACKERS: CB ERIC STOKES, GEORGIA Football Scout 365 Rank: 59 Pos Rk: 6 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Developmental Pick Grade: C- The Packers are in a precarious position because of the Aaron Rodgers situation. So instead of going after another offensive piece to help their hall of fame QB, they go with a corner. Stokes has the ability, he showed off his wheels during his pro day, but the Packers missed an opportunity. They will have a shot in later rounds as this is a very deep WR class. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report None Available (30) BUFFALO BILLS: EDGE GREGORY ROUSSEAU, MIAMI (FL.) Football Scout 365 Rank: 36 Pos Rk: 5 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Potential Upside Pick Grade: B+ The Bills needed a versatile DL, and they grabbed one who possesses high upside. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report A long player who can slide inside when needed. He is not yet fully developed, but his upside is what scouts might be eyeing. He uses quick hands to disengage with blockers and can set the edge and force runs back inside. He does need to work on his strength at the next level. He was a high school WR, which explains his hand usage and his raw ability as an edge defender. His pass-rush ability might be more suited on the inside rather than trying to win the edge. He is an outstanding prospect who has the NFL size and ability to develop into an impactful starter. Another item to keep in mind, he only has one year as a starter, injured in 2018, and sat out 2020. (31) BALTIMORE RAVENS: EDGE JAYSON OWEH, PENN STATE Football Scout 365 Rank: 44 Pos Rk: 8 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Developmental Pick Grade: B Oweh is a late bloomer in the process. He grabbed attention when he ran a 4.36 on his pro day. He is 6-5 250 lbs. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report None Available (32) TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: EDGE JOE TRYON, WASHINGTON Football Scout 365 Rank: 41 Pos Rk: 6 Football Scout 365 Player Grade: Developmental Pick Grade: B Tryon grabbed the attention of scouts when he ran a 4.5 40 at his pro day. He has the size and the upside to be an outstanding NFL player. Football Scout 365 Scouting Report None Available
