he reminds me of Saints dlineman Cam Jordan. The way he uses his heavy hands and power. His game seems similar.Yeah, DEs don't run 40 yards in a play. 10, shuttle, 3 cone need to be looked at. I think Kneeland was tops in the agility drills.
Oh really, who?Many had kneeland rated ahead of Chris Braswell AND Darius Robinson. Dane Bugler had him real high.
He's a great athlete. 90+ percentile in the agility drills among college DEs, which for a bigger DE is even more impressive.Yeah, DEs don't run 40 yards in a play. 10, shuttle, 3 cone need to be looked at. I think Kneeland was tops in the agility drills.
Atleast he will see the field than be the 4th option.Payton Wilson, most injury prone LB at the combine, won't be able to stay on the field.
Brugla had him ranked at 32. ESPN had him with a higher grade than Braswell. Daniel Jeremiah had him rated higher on his last board as well. Some folks don’t like the pick. Fine. I love the pick. This front office is incompetent. But I don’t hate on every single thing for sport. Calling this kid who many experts had in their top 50 a wastevpick is insane.Oh really, who?

This was objectively a weak DE class.Brugla had him ranked at 32. ESPN had him with a higher grade than Braswell. Daniel Jeremiah had him rated higher on his last board as well.

Not you but many certainly do. Outside of OL and WR I thought the draft was pretty weak. I thought they did a great job of building the OL. Big fan of Kneeland. Some not so much. All good. Would have taken Lloyd with the 2nd pick in the 3rd round. The draft was a replace what we lost draft. Playoff teams serious about competing do more in FA. And that’s where you see failure.This was objectively a weak DE class.
I hope you’re not implying I crap on everything this FO does.
He likely wasn't on the Cowboys board due to medical.Payton Wilson fastest LBer at the combine 4.42 forty
I watch the guy's film and his strength/instincts as a run defender are fantastic. He may never be all that much as a pass rusher, but if he can chip in 4-6 sacks a season and man up against the run I will be thrilled.@timb2 doesnt like the pick? I love it even more. Kneeland is a more athletic Armstrong. Is he going to be a “war daddy” that you can count on for 12+ sacks every year? Most likely not. But will he be a good starter that gets 8-12 sacks a year and is also good vs the run? Yeah I really think so.
Good pick. And people have their heads buried in the sand about our DE situation. There’s 500+ snaps missing from last year and no one to play them…until now. Not to mention that DLaw is all but gone after this season
Its what he did at the senior bowl against guys being drafted, Which seems like the same thing with our other picks. They all performed great there.Kneeland was ranked fairly high in the scouting community and I love is physicality the run game but man I’m really struggling with the lack of production as a small schooler. If you’re a premium pick from a small school I’d expect a million sacks, pressures and TFLs and he was nowhere near that.
I think bend is one of the top pre-requisites to be a high end pass rusher in the NFL and I just don’t see it with him. The Tank comp is not a good one IMO bc he was actually a pass rush demon in college. Gholson / Fehoko are probably much better comps.
It's weird. On tape, he looks stiff as a board, but his Combine drills show top-end change of direction.Kneeland was ranked fairly high in the scouting community and I love is physicality the run game but man I’m really struggling with the lack of production as a small schooler.

I don’t put a lot of stock in those 1:1s…the OLmen are setup for failure kind of like DBs in 7 on 7.Its what he did at the senior bowl against guys being drafted, Which seems like the same thing with our other picks. They all performed great there.
