PFF Ranks Top 10 Defensive UDFAs


Recommended Posts

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/05/03/10-defensive-udfas-to-like/

 

Pro Football-Focus does not do a ton of college player grading, so take this for what its worth.  They note that our UDFA Peters was their highest rated CB in the draft:

 

Garry Peters, CB, Clemson, Carolina Panthers

While White and Hill impressed, it was Peters who finished the season as our highest-graded cornerback. Allowing a mere 233 yards in coverage all season, allowing a mere 0.62 Yards Per Coverage snap in 2014. He needs to work on not being as grabby with contact, something he’ll be flagged for much more in the NFL, but Peters is a rough diamond who could develop really well in Carolina if given time.

4.6 40 so he doesn't have good deep speed. His three cone and short shuttle are elite though so he has extremely good change of direction and short area quickness. Never watched him play much but based on his numbers I'd say he fits best in a cover 2.

Norman has 4.66 speed. In fact his combine and proday numbers were fairly average to awful. Drill numbers aren't everything.

Clemson fan explain to me again why he went undrafted if he's this good?

Him and the other 20% of league starters. I think his lack of speed downgraded him, and even though he was All-ACC, he wasn't a starter until last season. I think he's got a lot to learn.

Has a good shot. White and Byndom are the #4 & #5 CBs, both are also undrafted. Plus only Bene is under contract beyond this season in the starting trio.

 

Dang that's true, Gettleman has been talking about not having a revolving door in the secondary though so I'm thinking Norman is re-signed...but he might be too expensive if he has a big year.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
