Trying not to get too excited, but we may legit elite player here..........fingers crossed (lol)

Rookie was missing from the subject title

I think we are all really happy about Eze! He’s certainly meeting or exceeding expectations.

The overall #1 would shock no one. lol

Imagine what he will look like once he learns the NFL game even more while adding more bulk and strength.

While it is very impressive, it seems his grade is buoyed by how well…. he drops into coverage?

 

[Denim Chicken]

He's really coming on. Maybe this discussion was a bit preemptive

So true ........ another year under his belt

Another reason I think this defense should shift to a 3-4 after the Quinnen Williams pickup.

A couple of surprises on the list ( Mike Green and James Pearse ) are not doing as well as I would have thought. Green was my pet cat.........CFB sack leader

EZ is why you don't overthink the draft. Take the good football player sitting right in front of you.

Pearce really surprised me. I thought he was a top 10, maybe even top 5 kind of player.

He’s third in run defense and second in pass rush.

He is a nice building block, I am expecting a breakout next season barring injury.

Yep. It’s interesting seeing how teams utilize their edge by interpreting these scores

 

[Kwyn]

He’s third in run defense and second in pass rush.

He’s referencing the outlier rating of coverage. He would have likely been behind walker if pass coverage were not included.

He’s just fine either way

 

[stilltheguru]

From those numbers jalon walker has been the best.

I think being ranked one across the board would be an outlier historically.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Good news is that the line is shaping up to be dominant and the young corners are coming line. Outside of Overshown, the linebackers are ick. I can’t believe Jerry was promoting Logan Wilson as the big trade. Dude can’t run anymore.

Well, it’s been five years since someone did it here.

Damn good draft

20th overall is excellent for a rookie.
Puts him above TJ Watt and Nolan Smith among other notables.

Myles Garrett being number1 in year 8 a testament to his training regimen.
