Good pick .......
Wow, Brugler has a 3rd round grade on him:
COMBINE 6033 257 32 1/8 10 1/8 78 1/8 4.91 2.83 1.69 31 09’07” 4.43 7.44 25
STRENGTHS: Quick take-off to win with his first step…gets on top of blockers quickly, flashing early speed-to-power moves…strong cornering skills, not allowing blockers to push his momentum away from the pocket…works in a club, chop and various power moves mid-rush…aggressive hands with a long-arm technique to get blockers off balance…disciplined run defender, staying home and handling himself well in space…self-described “adrenaline junkie” who competes with a full tank…he rarely came off the field and was an every-down player for the Utes…his leadership and work ethic are “tremendous,” according to Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham…big-time production, setting several school records, including career sacks.
WEAKNESSES: Short-armed rusher…spotty snap anticipation, collecting six offside penalties in 2019…predictable, one-speed rusher and lacks steady variance when attacking the corner…tends to tip his rush moves early, lacking suddenness in his set up…exposes his frame and needs to tighten his timing…finds himself off balance when attempting to shed…gives up too much ground in the run game and needs to plant roots to anchor on the edges…falls apart vs. double-teams…inexperienced dropping into space and covering backs or tight ends.
SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Utah, Anae played left defensive end in defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley’s 4-2-5 base scheme, standing up and rushing with his hand on the ground. He became the school’s all-time leading sack artist (30.0) and set the program records for career sack yardage (210) and tackles for loss yardage (244), winning the 2019 Morris Trophy as the Pac-12’s top defensive lineman (voted on by the conference’s offensive linemen). Anae is quick out of the gate and accelerates around the edge with relaxed hips and physical hands to run the hoop. Against the run, he has strong ball awareness, but can be too easily overwhelmed by size on the edges. Overall, Anae relies too much on his first step and appears near maxed out, but he is a hungry, high-effort pass rusher with the edge quickness that will earn him immediate playing time as an NFL rookie.
GRADE: 3rd Round
Him or Joe Jackson. Depending on what go for. Anea was productive and has good explosion. But he graded poorly athletically at some key placesthis guy is going to have a tough time making the team. maybe he will play hard enough to get on the practice squad.
Another top 100 players on many lists.
Great pick at 179.
No he’s a pass rush technician. No coverage skills. Minimal bend, but excellent with hands and nonstop motor.Could he play strong side linebacker?
Naw he’s gonna make the teamthis guy is going to have a tough time making the team. maybe he will play hard enough to get on the practice squad.
That was exactly what aia was thinking, outside linebacker on certain pass rush situations.Could he play strong side linebacker?
