Draft Grades

[MTK]

Solid B from me.

Allen has Pro Bowl potential written all over him.

Anderson brings toughness and attitude.

Moreau was a value because of the injury, and some good insurance if Breeland doesn't earn that 2nd contract.

Perine could be a real sleeper, I won't be surprised at all if he wins the job in camp. I love guys with his running style.

Nicholson seemed like a bit of a head scratcher, but at this point I'm going to defer the guys that do this evaluation stuff for a living.

Another pick I liked that could be one to watch is Chase Roullier.

I agree with this entirely. I think other than Allen, Perine will turn out to be the most immediate impactful player we drafted.

I also like Roullier a lot. He reminds me of when we drafted Long a few years back. Big, nasty interior guy who plays angry. If he can develop into a LG/C type of player like Long has we should be in good shape after Lauvao leaves.

Site is shit.

Nicholson played on a bad shoulder all year at Safey. Guy is an athletic phenom. He should of stayed another year but will be a good player for us and possible starter by year 3.

Little tidbit of info. Nicholson was recruited by our DB coach Gray when he coached at VT. Thinks highly of him. Can probably coach him up quick.

Give the draft a B+. Would of liked Williams over Anderson but both are great football players.

Nice theme is we are starting to get guys who will punch you in the mouth on defense.

Anderson
Norman
Moreau
Allen
Brown

Something we have lacked forever.

I've come to appreciate PFF's work more than I once did. Although I agree with you that the short-term grades they do are shit, I think they are able to uncover much of the truth in their long-term grades.

The short-term stuff they do is just to keep up people's interest by having a product to sell during the season. An analysis that is quickly and sloppily thrown together to rank players on a game-by-game basis doesn't work.

I like the fact that, in their grading, reputation and measurements don't taint he process. It's all about how a player actually performs on the field. Yet, PFF is just one tool to use in evaluating a player. I think it's useful, at least as a cross-check.

I am certainly no expert but I don't think Moreau falls into that category from what I have seen and read. He is great talent but not hard by any measure.
