Fiesta Bowl: Oregon vs. Liberty NFL Draft Prospects, Opt-Outs & Opt-Ins In the 2023 Fiesta Bowl, the undefeated Liberty Flames will be led by QB Kaidon Salter, who is expected to play. Salter has been instrumental in Liberty's success, while CB Kobe Singleton is also expected to play and will be much needed vs. the Ducks offense. The Oregon Ducks, with an 11-2 record, rely on senior QB Bo Nix, a Heisman finalist expected to play while also being draft-eligible in 2024. The Ducks face challenges with significant opt-outs, including WR Troy Franklin and others, which might impact their offensive efficiency and ability to get stops on defense. This matchup highlights Liberty's offensive versatility against Oregon's adaptability amidst key player opt-outs. Liberty Flames (13-0) Key Player: QB Kaidon Salter Draft Eligible Year : Likely 2024 or 2025, depending on his decision to declare early. Significance : Salter is the driving force behind Liberty's offense, leading them to an undefeated season with his impressive total yards and touchdowns. Opt-Out Status : Expected to play. X-Factor: CB Kobe Singleton Draft Eligible Year : Potentially 2024. Significance : Singleton's defensive prowess, with four interceptions, will be vital against Oregon's potent passing game. Opt-Out Status : Expected to play. Oregon Ducks (11-2) Key Player: QB Bo Nix Draft Eligible Year : 2024, as a senior. Significance : Nix, a Heisman finalist, is crucial to Oregon's offensive strength, boasting significant passing yards and touchdowns. Opt-Out Status : Expected to play. X-Factor: RB Jordan James Draft Eligible Year : Likely 2025 or later. Significance : With the potential absence of Bucky Irving, James’ role in the ground game becomes increasingly important. Opt-Out Status : Expected to play. Notable Opt-Outs : WR Troy Franklin (NFL Draft) : Significant loss for Oregon's receiving corps. C Jackson Powers-Johnson (NFL Draft) : Key offensive line player; absence affects line protection and run blocking. DL Popo Aumavae (NFL Draft) : Impactful on defense, especially in run stopping and pass rush. CB Khyree Jackson (NFL Draft) : Key component of Oregon's secondary, crucial in pass defense. Key Matchup Dynamics Liberty's Offensive Versatility vs. Oregon's Defense : Liberty’s offense, led by Salter, will test Oregon’s defense, which has to adapt to the absence of key players like Aumavae and Jackson. Oregon's Adaptability without Key Players : Oregon’s challenge will be maintaining offensive efficiency and defensive integrity despite significant opt-outs.

NFL MVP Watch: Love The Mobility Of Today's Top QB's, But an Old Statue Stands In Their Way Analysis Explained What makes an NFL MVP? There are a lot of variables, some measurable, some immeasurable when you examine an NFL MVP caliber player. QB's are the easiest and are almost always going to win the award. Our current top 5 consists of five QB's. The variables used to decide who is the NFL's leading MVP candidates are pretty simple. We first take a look at the raw numbers, passing yards, attempts, completion rate, TD's and INT's, and then we examine some of the advanced stats (throws under pressure, throws when clean); we then look at the QB's schedule strength, who have they beat and what is their current record against their current strength of schedule. Measurables Summary Raw stats (raw numbers, passing yards, attempts and completion rate, TD's and INT's) Advanced Stats (Ex. passer rating when under pressure, vs not under pressure) Strength of Schedule (who have they beat and their current record against their current strength of schedule). Some unmeasurable items we consider (Ex. age of player and level they are playing, coaching staff, what their team would be without them) #1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady: The #'s: 149-225 (66%), 15 Pass TD's, 2 INT's, 1767 passing yards Notable Games: Home win wk1 vs. Cowboys, lost at Rams wk3, won at Patriots wk4 The Analysis I drafted Tom Brady in a fantasy football Superflex Dynasty this year, and for a good reason, Tom appears to be getting better with age. At 44 years old, he plans to play for at least another season, and Tom recently floated the idea he could play until 50 . Not the best dynasty draft strategy if Tom is only playing another year or two, but the upside is there for at least two seasons, and if Tampa Tom plays until 50, well, that would be awesome. Regardless of what you think about Brady, he is playing at an NFL MVP level through five weeks, posting 1767 passing yards, he is on pace to throw for 6000 yards, his 15 pass TD's on the season rank second to Patrick Mahomes. Brady is also 5th in the NFL through five games in passer rate. He is the MVP frontrunner through the first five weeks of the NFL season. Strength of Schedule With wins vs. the Cowboys at Home and Patriots on the road, Tampa Bay has proven to be in command of their title repeating destiny. #2 Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott The #'s: 122-165 (74%), 10 Pass TD's, 4 INT's, 1368 passing yards Notable Games: Road loss wk1 vs. Bucs, win at Chargers wk2, won at home vs the Panthers wk4 The Analysis A year ago this week, Dak endured a gruesome season-ending ankle injury. He has put that injury in the rearview mirror, and it was apparent in a hurry just how important Dak is to the Dallas Cowboys as they collapsed without him in a year where the defense was a sieve. So far in 2021, Dak is back to being Dak. He is completing 74% of his throws through five weeks, and he has propelled a Cowboys offense to an NFL leading 439 yards per game. His leadership is high level, his teammates feed off of him, which are the unmeasurable characteristics. Strength Of Schedule As noted, we look at the strength of schedule; the Cowboys held their own week one vs. the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and even in a loss, it felt like a Cowboys victory. Since that season-opening loss, they have won games at the Los Angeles Chargers and a home game vs. the Carolina Panthers. #3 Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson The #'s: 112-167 (67%), 8 Pass TD's, 3 INT's, 1519 passing yards Notable Games: Loss on the road vs. Raiders, win at home vs. Chiefs, win at Denver The Analysis When evaluating how much a player means a team's bottom line, it's easy to recognize that the 2021 Ravens in its current state would not be very good without Lamar Jackson. The Ravens without Lamar would have lost at least two more games to the lions and against the Chiefs. A few weeks ago I broke down some interesting data on Lamar Jackson and where he is ranked according to the SIS W.A.R. model, excerpt below. According to the SIS W.A.R. model, which is broken down nicely by fellow SIS contributor Alex Vigderman , W.A.R. measures points above replacement using a points-per-win conversion based on the scoring environment. According to the SIS W.A.R. metric, Lamar Jackson ranks 13th (1.53) as a passer since 2019. As a rusher, Jackson ranks atop the NFL since 2019, posting an average W.A.R. of 0.63. If you combine the two metrics (running and passing), Lamar ranks 5th among all QB’s in the NFL using the SIS W.A.R. metric. Lamar Jackson in 2021 is on pace to throw for 5000 yards; he currently has 1519 yards through the air through 5 weeks, ranking 3rd just behind Justin Herbert and Derek Carr. Lamar Jackson has 341 yards rushing, he is on pace for 1159 yards rushing. That would be over 6000 yards of total offense by one guy. Strength of Schedule The Ravens barely escaped a disastrous loss to the Lions in a game where Hollywood Brown dropped multiple TD's passes. The Ravens escaped with a record-breaking Justin Tucker FG. They opened the season with a loss to the Raiders, who appear to be falling quickly after a fast start. Their signature win occurred at home vs. the Chiefs in week two, and that game took all they had to win, and keep in mind Lamar brought the Ravens back down 11. Their next big win came on the road vs. the Broncos. #4 Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray The #'s: 124-165 (75%), 10 Pass TD's, 4 INT's, 1370 passing yards Notable Games: Win on the road vs. Rams, win at home vs. the 49ers The Analysis I have been a critic of Kliff Kingsbury the last two seasons, but the 2021 edition of the Arizona Cardinals has a different feel to it. Playing in arguably the most challenging division, at least until the 49ers were ravaged again by injuries and the Russell Wilson injury, the Cardinals and the Rams are the front runners. The Cardinals dispatched the Rams easily a few weeks ago in a game where Kyler Murray was impressive, completing 20 of 32 throws for 268 yards and two passing TD's. Murray also rushed for 39 yards on 6 attempts. Murray's ability to extend a drive with his legs is on the level of a Lamar Jackson; his ability to extend passing plays while moving around is also on par with or better than Josh Allens, Patrick Mahomes, and Russell Wilson's of the world. Murray is arguably the most accurate passer in the NFL; he carries the league's top completion rate through five weeks. Strength of Schedule One week after the Rams defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in dominating fashion, the Cardinals decisively beat the Rams. The win against the Rams is a signature victory, and the Cardinals followed up by defeating the 49ers this past Sunday. Keep an eye on how the NFC West continues to take shape; with Russell Wilson out for several weeks and the 49ers consistently being plagued by injury, it appears the division will be a race between the Cardinals and the Rams. #5 Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen The #'s: 114-183 (62%), 12 Pass TD's, 2 INT's, 1370 passing yards Notable Games: Home loss vs. the Steelers wk1, home win vs. the Football Team wk3, win at the Chiefs wk5 The Analysis Josh Allen entered the 2021 NFL season as my top candidate to win the NFL MVP. He started slowly in a loss vs. the steelers to open the season. Allen is a dynamic player in the mold of what NFL scouts, GM's and coaches are looking to find at the QB position. At 6-5 237 lbs, Allen can beat you with his big arm, and he is an athlete who can run over a defender or around a defender. So far in 2021, Allen has completed 63% of his throws, down from 69% in 2020. But don't let the completion percentage sway your opinion of Allen, who is 8th in the NFL in total pass yards (1370) and tied for 5th with 12 TD passes through five weeks. Where Allen makes up for a drop in completion percentage is as a runner. Allen has compiled 188 yards, 5.4 yards per attempt, and two more scores on the ground. His ability to keep plays alive with his legs will play a role in his ability to bring home the NFL MVP. Strength of Schedule The season-opening loss vs. the Steelers is a bit of a head-scratcher after five weeks, but the Bills have since defeated the Washington Football and Kansas City Chiefs pretty handily and are now 4-1. #6 Los Angeles Charger QB Justin Herbert The #'s: 139-207 (67%), 10 Pass TD's, 4 INT's, 1576 passing yards Notable Games: Won at Football Team wk1, lost at home to Cowboys wk2, won at Chiefs wk3, won at home vs. Raiders week 4, won at home vs. Browns wk5 The Analysis Justin Herbert keeps proving that he is on the same level or approaching the NFL's top QB's and he is doing it in an unprecedented fashion in today's NFL. Herbert is following up his record-breaking rookie year by playing at an MVP level leading the Chargers to a 4-1 start against arguably the most challenging schedule through five weeks. Herbert has completed 67% of his throws, with 13 TD's to 3 INT's. He was phenomenal against the Browns this past Sunday, completing 26 of 43 passes (61%) with 398 passing yards, 4 TD's, and 0 INT's. Herbert is another big-bodied QB who uses his mobility to keep plays alive. He possesses one of the league's strongest arms while playing with great poise and confidence. The AFC West is wide open now, and the Chargers are now the team to beat. If Herbert keeps playing at a high level, this team will be tough to defeat, and Herbert will continue to creep up the list of NFL MVP candidates in 2021. Strength of Schedule As I already mentioned, the Chargers have played arguably the most challenging schedule through the first five weeks of 2021. They beat a Washington Football Team (albeit a bad secondary), they lost a competitive game to the Cowboys, but have reeled off wins against the Chiefs, Raiders, and this past Sunday against the Browns.

2024 NFL Draft: College Football Mid-Year Defensive All-NFL Draft Team As we enter the back nine of the 2023 college football season, we are only a few months away from the 2024 NFL Draft season. We have compiled our mid-year college football all-prospect NFL Draft 1st team. Each player listed is eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft. Who is the top defender in this year's 2024 NFL Draft class? Unlike the 2023 NFL Draft, the 2024 NFL Draft does not have that clear dominant defender. Last season, it was Will Anderson and Jalen Carter; this year, there is a ton of talent, but it is still up in the air who is the top overall defender. Mid-Year All NFL Draft Defensive Team IDL1: T'Vondre Sweat, Texas (6-4, 362lbs) The Numbers: Sweat is a big-bodied interior defensive lineman. We list him as our top 3-tech in the 2024 NFL Draft class, and for good reason. We have him graded as an elite run stuffer and a near-elite pass rusher. He is versatile enough to play in the A and B gaps. He has 10 total pressures and one sack on the season so far. IDL2: Jer'Zhan Newton, Illinois (6-2, 295lbs) The Numbers: Newton is another versatile interior player that we can line up in the B gap on one down and flip to the A gap on the next before aligning him over a tackle. According to our internal grading, he is an elite interior pass rusher and run stopper, and according to PFF, he is nearing the elite range on a play-by-play basis. He leads the nation in total pressures (25) among all interior defenders and has recorded 3 sacks. Edge1: Dallas Turner, Alabama (6-4, 242) The Numbers: Turner is the next in a long line of elite-level edge rushers sent to the NFL by Alabama. Turner is an energetic edge player who will align standing up on the edge. He has the athleticism to play in coverage if needed and is an elite pass rusher. So far on the year, he is 3rd nationally in sacks with 7 while he leads the nation in total pressures. Edge2: Laiatu Latu, UCLA (6-5, 265lbs) The Numbers: Latu is putting up elite numbers, and his tape also proves he is a very legit round-one talent. He is an elite pass rusher, and on the season, he ranks 5th in total pressures with 29. ILB1: Deontae Lawson, Alabama (6-2, 230lbs) The Numbers: We might be a bit early on Lawson, but his tape and grades through the midway point of the season provide us with enough to believe he could be a top inside LB prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft if he chose to declare. Lawson is excellent in all three phases at the position; he can run, stop, pass rush, and cover in space. So far on the season, Lawson has posted 10 pressures with 2 sacks and has stuffed the run 25 times with only one missed tackle. ILB1: Power Echols, North Carolina (6-0, 225lbs) The Numbers: Echols is another player we are higher on than other outlets, and for good reason. He is solid vs the run, he can pass rush, but where he is elite from the LB position is in coverage. He has one INT on the season and has given up a low 38.8 NFL passer rating when targeted on 15 targets in 2023. CB1: Kris Abrams-Draine, Mizzou (5-11, 178lbs) The Numbers: Abrams Drain is a solid physical press-man corner. Teams have targeted him 10 times in man-to-man coverage, and he has surrendered one catch. CB2: Cooper DeJean, Iowa (6-1, 207) The Numbers: DeJean projects as a safety on some draft boards, but he has the athleticism to play corner, and coming from the zone-heavy Iowa defense, he is an absolute ball-hawking playmaker. He has 2 picks and an elite 32.8 NFL passer rate when targeted. In 2022, DeJean posted 3 pick sixes. While he has not run a pick back yet for a TD in 2023, he does have a punt return for a TD. Nickel1: Mike Sainristil, Michigan (5-10, 182lbs) The Numbers: Michigan has produced some solid slot corners in recent years; most notable was Dax Hill. The question post-Dax Hill, who would replace him? In came the converted WR Mike Sainristil in 2022. In 2023, his second year at the position, Sainristil has 2 INT's and two defensive TD's. He has a sack and three total pressures through the season's mid-way point. His value in coverage and his ability to support in-run defense are a big reason this Michigan defense plays at such an elite level in 2023. Safety1: Calen Bullock, USC (6-3, 190lbs) The Numbers: Bullock provides the versatility you want from a safety in today's football. He can play deep safety, in the box like an additional LB, or in the slot. He is an elite-level defender in coverage in 2023, giving up a low 78.1 NFL passer rating when targeted. He has 1 pick and, 5 PBU's and two defensive TD's. Safety2: Jaylin Simpson, Auburn (6-1, 178) The Numbers: Just like Bullock at USC, Simpson provides versatility at deep safety, in the box, and in the slot as needed. Simpson is a solid man-to-man defender but elite as a zone defender. He surrenders an elite 21.3 NFL passer rating when targeted in zone. He has 4 total INT's to this point in the 2023 season.

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.

Rice projects as a 'Mid-Level Starter Potential' in the NFL, with a final grade scale of 60-64. His ability to make plays downfield and his physical tools suggest a promising future, though continued development in consistency and physicality will be key to realizing his full potential. < Back Brenden Rice USC HT: 6030 WT: 210 YR: SR POS: WR OVR RK 88 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 21 Mid-Level Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Brenden Rice is a dynamic receiver with a good blend of size, speed, and catching ability. He excels in deep-route scenarios, utilizing his speed and ball-tracking skills. Rice's physicality and ability to make contested catches make him a red-zone threat. He fits well in a vertical passing offense that leverages his downfield capabilities. His agility and quickness also make him a good fit for West Coast offense systems, where short and intermediate routes are prevalent. CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64) A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.

At 6-2 205lbs, Ringo is another Georgia Bulldog with top-ten NFL Draft potential. Ringo is a lengthy press man corner at 6-2 205lbs; he plays aggressively. Ringo uses his strength and long arms to attack the catch point with good body control muscling the football away from the receiver. The former 10.43sec 100M track star can run with the fastest receivers on the field. In addition, he possesses the twitchiness and fluidity needed to play at a high level in the NFL. Ringo does not allow receivers to gain a step often; when they do, he has the explosiveness to close fast. Ringo must learn to use his aggression as needed at the NFL level. His physicality in the NFL might be deemed too aggressive and lead to penalties in coverage. He will need to improve eye discipline; he can get caught off guard by play action, pump fakes, and double moves by receivers. < Back Kelee Ringo Georgia HT: 6016 WT: 207 YR: RSO POS: CB OVR RK 19 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 4 High-End Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Ringo's size and athleticism make him a good fit for a press-man coverage scheme, where he can use his length and physicality to disrupt routes at the line of scrimmage.

Quentin Johnston is a talented receiver with excellent size and athleticism. He could be a top-tier vertical threat at the next level and is a strong runner after the catch. Johnston will need to work on his route running at the next level, but his physicality and ability to win contested catches make him an intriguing prospect. If he can refine his technique and develop his blocking skills, he could become a complete receiver in the NFL. Johnston could be a mid-to-late- 1st round draft pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. < Back Quentin Johnston TCU HT: 6026 WT: 208 YR: JR POS: WR OVR RK 23 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 3 Mid-Level Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Johnston is a big receiver with outside (X) receiver traits.

He is a deep threat who can stretch the field and create opportunities for his teammates.
