Gardeck not enough snaps?

 

[TheCardFan]

How does our top 5 players on defense compare to other teams? 64-75 seems pretty low and may speak to our talent level.

Think so. Same reason CJ isnt listed.

I think the major takeway is the falloff of Budda Baker. He was in the high 80s a couple months back.

A little OT but I thought this was funny. Didn't want to start a new thread.

Love it.

I have always like Humphries attitude. That was great.

Simmons made the PFF All Rookies team.

Gotta love it when the numbers match your eyes. Easy to say that those were our best players this year.

I am curious, would be willing to share where Peterson graded?

he was used wrong he needs to play downhill attacking the line. This is what’s so frustrating with Vance

 

[Proximo]

These numbers are pretty close to what I would expect, except Budda is lower than I would have thought and Murphy is higher.

Not many above average players actually which is a bit concerning. I bet the Rams D is mostly made up of above average guys.

I think it highlights what we know. Our difference makers on offense are Murray, Hopkins, and DJ. Edmonds as a role player. The rest of the guys are somewhere between average and slightly below.

On defense, Budda, Chandler, Reddick and Byron. Simmons has potential but needs more snaps and polish. Jalen needs to stay healthy and Banjo did an ok job filling in. The rest are replacement level guys who are what they are with the exception of the younger players.

DJ Humphries played his arse off despite an interior OL which was in flux thanks to Cole not being strong enough physically or mentally to be an extended starter. Love what the man brings and dig his character!

Seriously. Just look at the names on that list. Wow. Maybe I need to give Vance a little more credit.

 

[unseenaz]

The rest of the defense either didn’t get enough snaps to qualify, or fell below the average cutoff? That’s ridiculous. The entire defense needs a makeover

 

[TaylorSwift]

Another nail in the coffin for Steve Keim, holy molly

55.2 for Pat.

FWIW, Wirfs graded 82.2 on the Bucs.

 

[Minski]

He would have graded 50 here... or not even played

Yeah...I feel like Wirfs is going to be one of those picks that we look back on and think of what could have been until we get a top offensive line..

Wirfs was always BPA over Simmons despite this board being so against it.

Positional value alone.

Jury is still out on that one. Also depends on Jones' development (and Simmons for that matter) but Beachum was solid this year. Not as good as Wirfs but solid.

If Wirfs was a G, he would have greater value to us.

Disagree. Two OTs who can handle one-on-one responsibilities are incredibly valuable to interior line play. Easier double teams and easier ability to handle stunts.

Gardeck not enough snaps?

Have to have 200 snaps I think to rank, but he had an 89.6 Grade

 

[BritCard]

CJ isn't listed because he only had a 62.6 grade
