Some notes from my source involving the NFL draft

[Verge]

Hey guys, it's that time of the year again, and my guy has been giving me some info about this years draft class. For those who don't know, my friend works within a scouting department of an NFL team, not the Carolina Panthers, and he has been kind enough to kind of help me learn to scout, write scouting reports, and leak me some info as far as what the general public might be missing in the NFL draft. 

-Kyler Murray is believed to be the #1 pick in this draft, regardless of if the Cardinals keep or trade the pick 
-Expectations are three QBs within the top 12 picks 

-Daniel Jones should be the second quarterback taken within the top 10 
-Expect Andre Dillard and Jonah Williams to volley for the #1 offensive lineman off the board 
-He does not believe a corner will be taken in the top 10 
____________________________________________________________________________




04/24
***Final predictions****
Andre Dillard either goes to Bengals or Bills 
Kyler Murray goes #1 
Daniel Jones either goes at 6 to NYG or they trade up to get him
Hollywood Brown is the first receiver taken 
Jonah Williams goes in the top 10 
At least five offensive lineman in the top 20
TJ Hockenson in the top 12, probably to the Lions 
Denver passes on a QB for a LB 
Redskins trade up for Haskins or Jones 
Only one safety in the first round 
Greedy Williams falls out of the first

good stuff man, thanks

What does he think of Hakeem Butler? Also, has he heard who we like? 

[Proudiddy]

I wish there was a way we could come out of the first 2 rounds of this draft with an elite-level edge rusher (prefer Sweat) and Adderly.

Is this another "source"?

Very interesting about the Kyler Murray, and even moreso that Daniel Jones as the #2 QB.  Thatll throw eveyone on a loop as everyone and there brother have Jones as the 4th QB mocked claiming their sources.  

Also interested no mention of Jawaan Taylor, after about unanimous elsewhere now have him as the top OT.  I truely feel sorry for any QB and RB whose team Drafts Dillard early and starts him.  He is going to get someone hurt

 

Also interesting of Zach Allen as everyone has been writing how his stock flopped after the seniorbowl.  He had a terrible seniorbowl week and showed he can't play the edge.  Will have to be a 3-4 DE as rhe only thing he did  the entire week was on a inside rush on a OG 

Ferguson, the combine wouldve really helped him.  His biggest question mark was his athletic ability.

 

I love Harry, dude reminds me of Drandre Hopkins coming out.

Ridley is a stud to, super polished.  If he played at any other school he'd have a lot more hype.  Id expect his hype train to start at the combine if he test well as expected

Zach Allen is just a name. He looked awful at the Senior Bowl. A first round DE who can’t pressure the QB? I wouldn’t want him at 47 based on what I saw and there were decent OL at the Senior Bowl so he was going against real NFL talent. There’s been Senior Bowls before with awful OL, but this was decent OL and he was stonewalled every play.

Agree with you on Taylor as well. I’d bet after yesterday that he’s cemented the top spot or maybe #2 behind Williams. Dillard reminds me more of Gesicki at TE last year. Solid combine numbers but based on the drills and Senior Bowl, he just might be an athlete first. Gesicki was just awful in drills so I’m not saying I wouldn’t want Dillard later or that he’s bad but the drills/Senior Bowl work shows the non-measurables. 

I still want to see what Allen does at the combine 

He did show some flashes to me as a guy who could be a solid 3-4 DE based how he could rush inside 

Nfl.com doesn't even have him listed as s edge anymore, they have him as a DL

 

Dillard reminds me of Spriggs?  Who Greenbay drafted in the 2nd but never panned out.

Dillard is great in gym shorts like Spriggs, but comes from a even more gimmicky offense that doesn really require to run block, never take on a Bull Rush, and only ever require to really take on his guy as they dont see more than 4 man rushes often.  And it showed, in the light contact badic footwork drills he thrived like yesterday but once full contact like scrimmage and actual game.  He got abused.  It was litterally so bad, that after the very first play of the senior bowl, he got rocked and pushed right into the QB.  That his coaches had that LSU TE lineup beside him and help double team on blocks on about every other play in the first half.  Then when they gave him another shot solo blocking, he got destroyed for a strip sack

Just now, stbugs said:

Yep. Reminds me (again not as bad in drills) as Gesicki last year. I don’t know how any team could watch the TE drills and think he’d be a good TE and yet he goes early 2nd. There’s always a chance these guys improve but someone will take him in the first and be very disappointed and it was obvious.

I didnt think he bad at all in drills, but you flipped the game film and woah.  None of that was to be found.

[Icege]

What were some of the key things that he has shared with you so far that you feel have had the greatest impact on your scouting abilities?

He would know that if he didn’t spend most of his sad existence on NYG message boards stalking Gettleman. 

[mc52beast]

Really like the kid from Delaware, don’t know if he can play FS or not but if so would make our secondary a legit “no-fly” zone 

[Captain Morgan]

thanks Verge.  can you ask if he thinks Brian Burns would be a good fit for us?

[Panthercougar68]

I do think Nasir is on our board depending how FA goes.
