Draft Projection
Round 2

Overview​

Kneeland is a former high school tight end and his open-field agility can be seen when he’s pursuing the football around the field. He deals consequential first blows to opponents that often create openings for him to generate movement as a run defender or pass rusher. Teams might drop him in as a 4-3 base end, but he’s actually a more consistent playmaker when he’s standing, surveying and using his athleticism rather than fist-fighting at the point of attack. He’s a forceful rusher with a relatively simple game plan, but he does have enough bend to diversify somewhat. There are some mismatched pieces in his game but he offers toughness and talent to mold.

Strengths​

  • Runs well and possesses agility to fluidly change directions.
  • Plays with very heavy hands and makes his first hit count.
  • Motor stays engaged and he’s down to chase plays all over the field.
  • Sifts through moving bodies and latches into running back with good wrap.
  • Generates consistent pocket push with his bull rush.
  • Capable of playing with a hand down or standing.

Weaknesses​

  • Needs to diversify his rush attack and add a little more finesse.
  • Can improve at stacking moves and setting up rush counters.
  • Struggles to consistently hold the point when playing with his hand down.
  • Room for improvement with hands in stacking and controlling tight ends.
  • Gets pads turned and can be washed away against zone blocks

LOL. So he's a bull rusher that has limited pass rushing moves/prowess.

Wonderful.

Mike showcase what you got with this weird team they’re assembling and go find a franchise that will actually get you what you need. Dude should have suitors if this team is halfway decent. And if it is it will be because of coaching.

Kneeland isn’t a sexy pick, but I actually think he has a chance to be a solid player. Don’t think he’ll ever be elite, but he’s definitely a solid DE prospect imo who sets the edge and fills a position of need.
DLaw clone?

LOL you were *****ing earlier that they didn't add more picks and now you are *****ing they might add more picks.
Add more picks by trading down twice and out of the 1st round, NOT trade out of the 2nd round. Get your facts right.
