Twitter: DE Charles Tapper update

[MichaelWinicki]

The thought is probably a lot better than the reality.

Tapper is not some beastly pass rusher. If he was he would have been drafted much higher.

Ourlads had Tapper as the 7th highest rated DE... They thought he could have gone as early as round 2.

Sexy.

FIFY

 

[Verdict]

I kinda wanted him to return. He's really fast for his size. But I know how important the OL is, so La'el should be the choice if he's ready.

I don't think Collins will have any chance of coming back and being effective from toe surgery this year. That is probably wishful thinking.

The updates on Gregory, Jaylon Smith, and Tapper are officially driving me insane lol

He was not that prolific of a sack artist in college, for a variety of reasons but one of which is that he's a great athlete but plays like a grinder. Not yet a natural pass rusher.

Charles Tapper tested off the charts before the draft.

Most of us are familiar with SPARQ, which assigns a value to indicate a player's athleticism.

Tapper (133.7) was the 4th rated Edge player.

He's more athletic than 85% of his NFL peers.

One thing SPARQ doesn't do is look at factors such as height and length, which can be of huge importance in the game of football.

A metric called Slaytics does.

BTB mentioned it back in May when looking at the overall athleticism of Dallas' 2016 rookie class.

Tapper's combination of size, length and athleticism puts him in the 96.7 percentile.

That is rare air.

None of this means Tap is a great pass rusher, just that the raw ability is there and it was held back playing in Oklahoma's defensive scheme.

Will it come to bear playing for Rod Marinelli?

Ourlads had Tapper as the 5th out of 35 DE's when it came Ourlads own "Overall Combine Physical Rating system".

Is Charles tapper a good player, rotational guy, or all star baller?

injury prone no show

If Charles Tapper is willing to play hard and his back doesn't become problematic, he should find success as a Rushman.

Just the Tap

I thought he had 2nd round talent bordering on 1st round.

Dak says hello from the late 4th round.

Dak says hello from the late 4th round.

And Anthony Brown from the 6th. I usually roll my eyes at the "Cowboys had him rated as a 1st round pick" type comments but in the case of Anthony Brown their grade seems to be correct on him. We know that Jaylan Smith was projected to go in the 1st if healthy. This was a value you draft for the Cowboys. IMO, I thought Dak was good enough to be a 2nd or 3rd round pick but they got him late in the 4th. I remember hearing them say they had Collins ranked high as well.

When we talk about how incredible this draft was I forget that we didn't even have Tapper or Jaylan suit up for us this year.

Defense wins championship. The giants were able to neutralize what was thought to be the best o-line in football. Let's go with Tapper.

Collins could be that extra blocker we need to keep our ground game at monster level in the playoffs. Bring him in as the extra OL when we need 1 yrd on a critical 4th down. Unless Tapper is showing his skills in practice.

 

[gmoney112]

Collins, easily. Tapper isn't going to save this pass rush, but Collins could very easily save the playoffs.

I see Michael Bennett when I look at Tapper.
