Chris Brown: What We Learned from Draft Day 1 and Day 1 Draft Grades from the National Media


Recommended Posts

 

2018 NFL Draft Tracker - Football Draft Updates

 

Josh Allen QB, Wyoming
Height: 6-5 Weight: 233
They get the best QB in the draft and they had to go make the moves to get him. Love the trade, love the pick.
  A+

 

Draft Prospect Outlook:
Elite arm strength. Matt Stafford-esque. Plus mobility. Inconsistent accuracy and decision-making. Often over-extends plays which gets him into big trouble. Has All-Pro and UDFA flashes. Likely Top 15 pick mainly due to his physical traits.
 

Tremaine Edmunds ILB, Virginia Tech
Height: 6-5 Weight: 253
At 19, he has a chance to grow into a special player. The Bills are having a good draft.
  B+

 

Draft Prospect Outlook:
Transcendent combination of size and athleticism for the linebacker position. Lightning speed to the football. Capable as flat defender in coverage. Wins often due to his length and physical prowess. Not developed as block-shedder and obvious is a big target for offensive linemen.

I would disagree slightly with the Draft Prospect Outlook for Edmunds.  He does a pretty darn good job of shedding blocks because of his arm length and size/strength.  He has no problems mixing it up with Olinemen.  His biggest obstacle is going to be reading his keys to ensure he'll be in the right spot.  The beauty of this situation, however, is the fact he's so freakishly athletic, he can make up for being out of position on certain plays.  

 

The reason I think Edmunds will eventually turn into a pro bowl player is because 1) he's still young and has the ability/capacity to learn 2) he's coachable, grounded and is super competitive and 3) with his father having played in the NFL, he obviously has a great blood line which shouldn't be underestimated.
