3. JOSHUA GARNETT | Stanford 6043|312 lbs|4SR Puyallup, Wash. (Puyallup) 2/21/1994 (age 22) #51
YEAR (GP/GS) GRADE 2nd-3rd Round 2012: (14/1) 1 LG MEASUREABLES Arm: 33 7/8 | Hand: 10 1/8 | Wingspan: 81 7/8 2013: (13/4) 1 LG, 3 UB COMBINE 40-YD: 5.32 | 10-YD: 1.84 | 20-YD: 3.05 | BP: 30 | VJ: 29 | BJ: 08’03” | SS: 4.64 | 3C: 7.62 2014: (13/13 12 LG, 1 UB PRO DAY N/A (positional drills only) 2015: (14/14) 14 LG Total: (54/32) 28 LG, 4 UB

BACKGROUND: A four-star offensive guard recruit out of high school, Joshua “Josh” Garnett was wooed by dozens of top programs and eventually narrowed down his choice to Stanford and Michigan, choosing the Cardinal. He began as a back-up in 2012 and started one game, becoming the first true freshman lineman to start at Stanford since 2000. Garnett started four games as a sophomore in 2013 before becoming a full-time starter at left guard in 2014. He started all 14 games as a senior in 2015 and racked up the accolades as a unanimous All-American and First Team All-Pac 12 performer. Garnett became the first player in school history to win the Outland Trophy, also taking home the Morris Trophy as the Pac-12’s top offensive lineman. He accepted his invitation to the 2016 Senior Bowl.

STRENGTHS: Proportionate body thickness with long arms and a stout core…country strong, heavy jabs and able to match power with power…shock absorbers for hands with the aggressiveness to halt and control momentum at the point of attack…quick off the snap and rarely surprised…rolls his hips at contact to overwhelm and drive his target from the spot…turns his body to wall off run lanes and shield defenders from the ball…active puller with the coordination to advance downfield and convert to a second-level blocker…mean-spirited and sets the tempo on the field…high football aptitude with the requisite mental alertness…well-spoken ambassador of the program with the desired intangibles in or away from the building – plans to attend medical school to be a surgeon after his playing days…NFL bloodlines – father (Scott) was an eighth round pick in the 1984 NFL Draft, playing four seasons in the NFL on the defensive line…durable and coachable starter with 32 starts on his collegiate résumé.

WEAKNESSES: Not a light mover and shows tightness in short spaces…needs to stay balanced in space, allowing his upper half to overextend past his feet…not an explosive player at the point of attack…overeager blocking appetite, leading to whiffs, and needs to add more patience to his diet…too much of a waist bender and needs to use consistent sink with his joints…struggles to re-anchor once he loses initial leverage – Oregon’s DeForest Buckner exposed this on several reps…hand placement needs fine-tuning, landing his punches outside…susceptible to quickness in pass protection, relying too much on his reach and not bringing his feet with him…lacks starting experience at center or right guard.

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Stanford, Garnett was a consistent force at left guard and the heartbeat of one of the steadiest offensive lines at the college level the past few seasons. He does an adequate job in pass protection, but his bread-and-butter is his run blocking, using heavy hands and finishing instincts to win the point of attack. Although he’s not the best-conditioned lineman, Garnett has just enough athleticism for the position, relying on his mechanics, coaching and brute power to win snaps. He won’t dominate at the NFL level like he did in the Pac-12, but the skill-set and intelligence are there for him to be a dependable starter at the next level, ideally suited for a power scheme.

That's why the bump thread happens.

WHO TRADED BACK ?? Was it the Chiefs ?

[Rastak]

From PFF (They didn't like the Vikes pick either):


27. Green Bay Packers: Kenny Clark | Grade: C+
Often overlooked in a deep defensive line class, Clark is a strong run defender that can push the pocket with the best bull rush in the draft. There’s not a clean fit along the defensive line for Clark, but he’ll likely play defensive end in their 3-4 scheme while dabbling inside at nose tackle. He’s not a pure nose, as he wins in the running game by reading blocks and getting up and down the line of scrimmage, and he sometimes struggles with power at the point of attack.

Clark finished at +43.9 overall — good for 12th in the loaded class — and finishing fifth in the nation with 34 run stops. His excellent run game instincts will give him an early-down role, though he has to develop more than just a bull rush as a pass rusher, as he rarely wins with speed either to the outside or inside of blockers.

make 'em stay in the inflatable habitat!

[Joemailman]

I would have liked to see a trade down, but I'm okay with this pick. Probably offers more of a pass rush than Billings or Reed.

Gonna be some good big guys at start of 2nd round though. Might see some trades.

Ayeeeeeee lets freaking go. I promise this kid is very special. @KCBoutThatLife Congrats bro

[3irty1]

On the one hand I feel great about Clark considering Ted liked him even with all those other guys there.

On the other hand this is a 1st round DL picked by Ted.

4. ROBERT NKEMDICHE | Ole Miss 6034|294 lbs|3JR Loganville, Ga. (Grayson) 9/19/1994 (age 21) #5
YEAR (GP/GS) TKLS TFL SACK FF GRADE 1st-2nd Round 2013: (11/10) 29 7.0 3.0 0 (6 DE, 4 DT) MEASUREABLES Arm: 33 7/8 | Hand: 10 3/4 | Wingspan: 80 5/8 2014: (13/13) 35 4.0 2.0 0 (DT) COMBINE 40-YD: 4.87 | 10-YD: 1.67 | 20-YD: 2.84 | BP: 28 | VJ: 35 | BJ: 09’08” 2015: (11/11) 34 8.0 2.0 0 (DT) PRO DAY N/A (positional drills only) Total: (35/34) 98 19.0 7.0 0 PRONUNCIATION kim-DEE-chee

BACKGROUND: A five-star defensive tackle recruit out of high school, Nkemdiche was considered the consensus No. 1 recruit in the country and originally committed to Clemson (along with his high school teammate Wayne Gallman), but reopened his recruitment late in the process, choosing Ole Miss (where his older brother plays) over LSU. He started 10 games as a true freshman and finished with 29 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks, earning Freshman All-American and All-SEC honors. Nkemdiche started all 13 games in 2014 as a sophomore, recording 35 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks to earn All-American honors from some outlets. He started 11 games in 2015 as a junior and finished with 34 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks to earn All-American honors. Nkemdiche chose to skip his senior season to enter the 2016 NFL Draft.

STRENGTHS: Trimmed, well-conditioned body type with broad shoulders and a muscular frame…balanced athlete with excellent flexibility and bend…explosive off the ball to launch himself with cat-like quickness and a quick trigger…lateral agility to skillfully cross the face of blockers, using his hip-action to sink and redirect without losing momentum to his target…very good in pursuit, playing with range and closing burst…strong, aggressive hands to extend, punch and drive, forcing blockers backwards into the pocket – active hands to shed and keep himself free…plays low to the ground to beat blockers with leverage…naturally powerful and has room to get even stronger…versatile skill-set with experience inside and outside on the defensive line – also saw snaps on offense and special teams at Ole Miss (career rushing: 5/32/0; and receiving: 1/31/1).

WEAKNESSES: Tends to play too fast and out of control, hindering his ability to break down in tight areas…bad habit of turning his body once engaged to lean into blockers instead of consistently anchoring or using his hands…gap integrity and on-field discipline need improved, selling out and losing sight of the ball – also needs to clean up the offsides penalties…unimpressive career production with only 19.0 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks over 34 starts, disappearing for stretches during games…minor durability concerns – missed two games as a freshman due to a strained left hamstring (Oct. 2013) and one game as a junior due to a concussion (Oct. 2015)…inconsistent responses from hard coaching – does he want to be great?…off-field decision-making and accountability require investigation – arrested and charged with possession of marijuana (Dec. 2015), injuring himself falling from a 15-foot wall after crawling out a fourth-floor window (suspended for Sugar Bowl)…sued, along with his older brother Denzel, for allegedly attacking an Ole Miss student – Nkemdiches have countersued and the case is on-going.

SUMMARY: A three-year starter, Nkemdiche was the lauded as the consensus top recruit out of high school and although he never quite lived up to that high-billing on a consistent basis, he showed flashes of dominance with an athletic and powerful skill-set for his size – split his playing time between defensive end and defensive tackle at Ole Miss and fits several positions on the defensive line. Nkemdiche has above average athleticism and uses his movement skills and lower body fluidity to skirt blockers and easily change directions. Although he sees plenty of double-teams and affects the game far more than what the box score says, his lack of production is a concern with only seven sacks in 34 career starts. Nkemdiche has explosive traits for the position, but he is still learning the game and needs to develop his ball awareness and discipline – his personal character and questionable football passion are also wildcards. Overall, Nkemdiche is one of the top-10 talents in the 2016 draft class because of his ability to get upfield in any scheme and penetrate gaps, but he isn’t one of the top-10 football players and teams will view him as a high risk/high reward type of prospect – likely lands in the late first round.
