2022 NFL Draft Talk

[Joemailman]

Jordan Davis at 6-6, 341 lbs ran a 4.82 40. Devonte Wyatt at 6-3, 304 ran a 4.84. For comparison, Kenny Clark ran a 5.06. I've seen Wyatt mocked to Packers in 1st.

Wow, this is freaky for his size.

Daniel Jeremiah just had a mock draft where he had Boye Mafe - Edge - Minnesota as Packers 1st round pick. Haven't seen anyone else rating Mafe that high. However, he's a very athletic guy who has run a 40 at 4.57 at 260 pounds. Will likely have the kind of RAS score that Gute likes. Definitely a guy to watch at the Combine and beyond.

Mafe ran a 4.53 at 261 pounds.

The DE/OLB from Georgia was equally freaky. How wild is it that they have the two best athletes in the draft in their front 7?

There could be 4 players from that Georgia defense drafted in the 1st round: Edge Travon Walker, LB Nakobe Dean, DL Devonte Wyatt and NT Jordan Davis.

Few nose tackles make it in the NFL at that height. Leverage. You wonder if he could slim down and play 3 technique? Or just play it at a heavier weight.

With so many players skipping some of the drills, especially agility drills, not sure how much teams are actually learning about the players from the drills. A lot of really high RAS scores, which you would expect if players are going to skip the drills that might expose their weak point.

Yeah I was thinking the same. Leo Chenel does not strike me as an elite athlete but I could be wrong.

I think he had a 1.68 10 yard split as well. Simply obscene.

Erik Ezukanma is kind of growing on me as a sleeper WR pick.
Kevin Austin is an athlete, but his production scares me.

Very curious about the medical on Justyn Ross. If his neck checks out, he's got the size GB likes as well. (I'm assuming Gute/MLF don't want anyone under 6' & 195 lbs as rough size benchmarks for WRs)

Yeah, Jordan Davis had an unbelievable workout. He was very disruptive on the college level, I haven't watched him closely but I could easily see him being a top 10 pick (and disruptive in the pros too).

Agree with others about how players are probably gaming things by not running certain drills. To me the combine is basically just a pressurized litmus test of whether you're an athlete or not, vs. being a good football player. Not doing all the drills certainly hides any athletic weakspots and players used to get dinged for it. Maybe that's ok, but I'd want to get a decent measurement on agility drills for prospects -- generally speaking having common denominator measurements like those are pretty important for most positions.

Blame the NFL. They changed things this year, so that all of the tests (including bench) and workouts are on the same day. Previously, the tests were one day and the workouts the next day. I hope the NFL learned a lesson because it stinks not getting a full athletic profile of these guys at the combine. Pro Day results are notoriously flawed.

A darkhorse late round WR prospect might be Isaiah Weston from Northern Iowa. 6-3, 214. Ran a 4.42 at combine and did 20 reps on bench which was best among WR's. Needs work on route running so a bit of a project. Could be a ST stud with his size/speed combo.

MVS 2.0.

MVS 2.0.

He plays nothing like MVS. He's more Jeff Janis with better ball skills. I was surprised he ran that well. Like Janis, I think he's a better tester than football player, but he does have good hands and great ball skills. Kind of lumbering for testing that well. I didn't love his tape, but based on athleticism alone, he'll get a look late in the draft.
