Power, explosion, speed,leverage, effort.
Plays hard, plays from snap to whistle, soaks up coaching.
Just scratching the surface, high ceiling.

I am very excited about the Neville Gallimore pick, can't wait for his NFL journey to begin.:flagwave:

Nice video thanks for posting:)

The not so amazing thing is that majority of his rushes were stunts which kind of negates the 1-tech factor. Not knocking him, good player, but just thought that has to be acknowledged. I reckon Oklahoma stunted about 70% of the time which makes stat comparisons to the likes of Kinlaw and Brown pretty much meaningless. He's a hard evaluation IMO because of all the stunts.

Very hard evaluation. Also easy to get washed out in the run game..maybe he's better at the POA than he gets credit for

Here we go again with the overused big cat slogan. So at the beginning of the vid. he slips thru 2 blockers, and the main blocker whiffed and didn't even try, and he gets to the QB. And the commentators marvel and call him big cat! Sheez.

I honest don’t know. He’s got limited length which in theory hurts him at the POA but I really couldn’t find enough tape of him in a stack and shed situation.

There are shades of Geno Atkins I reckon but Atkins has level of beast power even back in college that isn’t there in Gallimore’s testing, and I haven’t seen on tape.

What I have seen in Gallimore’s tape is a good get off, nice first move (spin, club, swim) and good stunting. That fits with Geno. I haven’t found footage of him bull rushing like Geno, no stacking and shedding, or even a secondary rip move. He also has a tendency to have too high a pad level that might hurt him at the POA but will get ironed out pretty quickly with NFL coaching. I can’t figure out how he will do if a guard/center gets hands on him and I think he needs a way to win when that happens to be successful in the NFL.

I just have an incomplete evaluation.

Scary thing is, this may be the best defensive tackle we're drafted since Jason Hatcher. Says something about our attention to the position. I know I'm showing my roots by saying this, but I keep imagining Neville as a flexed tackle, going sideline to sideline.

That 3-3-5 defense with excessive stunting likely dropped Gallimore by at least 1 round from where he would have been drafted if he had played 3tech in a standard 4-3 or 4-2-5 defense.

Just line him up on the outside shoulder of a college OG and Gallimore wins a high percent of those snaps as a pass rusher.

The 3-3-5 meant there was 1 less DL to block. The stunting put Gallimore into bad positions against the run. His alignment over the Center also put him in bad position against the run.

That 3-3-5 also made it hard to evaluate LB Kenneth Murray. I think it's a big reason the draft media was unsure of where to rank him. Offenses often got 2 OLinemen out to block him which is rare for an off-ball LB.

Man I hope Trysten Hill has a pulse

Me, not gonna be surprised if we find out that it was never that Hill isn't good enough, but that he was being expected to fit his talent/skills into a system rather than the system morphing in ways that accentuate players' talent.

At least, we know, Mac has been upfront to say he wants to do the latter, not the former. We'll see.

How is he in comparison to Maliek Collins when he was coming out? Who was the higher ranked prospect?

I agree with all of that.

My evaluation is incomplete because I don't know what Gallimore is going to be asked to do. If we had Marinelli's one gap scheme with lots of stunting, I'd feel pretty confident giving him a solid 2nd rounder grade because as you said, I think he can win a high percentage of snap rushing the passer from the outside shoulder and stunting. In a multiple front.....I can't really give a grade until I know what he's gonna be asked to do, and I've seen him attempt to do it. I haven't done an exhausting analysis of his tape but in the 3-4 cut up games I watched I only saw stunting with a handful of one gap pass rushing.

Did you see the Chris Simms one?

Great review on Gallimore, but it was painful to hear the review of Kinlaw. He's the guy I was hoping for in the 1st.

I wonder what the Raiders were up to. Marinelli would have loved Gallimore at 1tech.
