My Watchlist 2022 2.0 - Emeritus - 08-12-2021
My way too early watchlist 2022. 2.0
Defensive Lineman: If your not building in the trenches!!!!
Aidan Hutchinson DL Michigan
https://youtu.be/zjfI_oVCgRs
A flat out explosive athlete with the right motor to be a factor on Sundays both playing inside or out. If healthy hes definitely one of the best draft prospects. My DL#2
A dominate player!
Drake Jackson Edge USC
https://youtu.be/zaJGB50rYkk
The athleticism and speed is what jumps off the screen.Its the run defense and tackling that holds him back for being dominate imo. He could be in for a big seaso
George Karlaftis DL Purdue
https://youtu.be/TrwhZYJvix0
The bend is terrible to me but I love the motor so thats why he makes my list. As some prospects the Covid /injury cut the development short. Now can he play on the outside...Yes in a 34 and thats my opinion. Hes here for 43 potential only because the trend is going more athletic in the center of a defense. Geno Atkins is the father of that!!!
Perrion Winfrey DT Oklahoma
https://youtu.be/e5ERTF-n6Fc
He's a bit on the smaller side but his skill set is freakish.I believe he'll be a solid 3T at the next level and could even be a productive starter. Could be in for a big season on an already loaded D.
Haskell Garrett DT Ohio State
https://youtu.be/IVXzQgHEp1o
When I watch him I just wonder what if he puts it all together! He flashes tools especially with his hands & rip swim. If the consistency is there this season lookout for a scary stat line for an interior lineman.
Tyler Davis DT Clemson
https://youtu.be/IXCooai_1RU
The injury bug cut last season short but you can see the traits when healthy. Playing next to a double team magnet that will be a top five pick next season will only help his game. Late 1 or early 2 upside.
Offensive Line:
Big Paulie
https://youtu.be/ObEJBFs7Mb4
Kellen Diesch LT Arizona State
https://youtu.be/sIlBr7Dq-cU
The Utah tape was one to throw back because it was horrible with the penalties. I've watched a few games and I like the body of work. Its technique issue which can be corrected.[/color]
Tyler Smith G/T Tulsa
https://youtu.be/seruRPwzD2A
I'm a homer on this guy because I like the potential to move inside at the next level. He has his technique and movement issues but with good coaching he could be solid.
Daniel Falele RT G Minnesota
https://youtu.be/OJ8aWmf6Ppg
A mountain of a man on the right side!
I like what I've seen so far this year in terms of fitness!
Evan Neal T/G Alabama
https://youtu.be/kdZD9kRmFeI
I'm not as high as most on Evan but one can't deny a man that size with the movement he possesses. I just don't believe that he'll hold up on the left side in the league. ImoHe'll be one heck of a right tackle or guard which is a moon shot upgrade.
Darian Kinnard RT/G Kentucky
https://youtu.be/R5qVBR34Fk4
This guy is one huge dude with above average movement sets. I believe he'll have an all American type year and move up some boards as fixture at the guard or right tackle spot. Nice upside!
Safties:
Daxton Hill NCB S Michigan
https://youtu.be/mQ8NogBDtVA
A chess piece type that does it all on a defense. I'm expecting a huge season and he should be a riser next spring.
Cornerbacks:
Martin Emerson CB Mississippi State
https://youtu.be/cMWQY2EyRF0
A solid prospect with traits to be a great player at the next level. I believe he plays better in press coverage than zone. Elite length!
Kaiir Elam CB Florida
https://youtu.be/8mLeRhbkaC0
The skills are there but whats missing?
I'm not sure why I think about a Dre Kirkpatrick w/ better tools. I want to see how he flips his hips and locates this year.
Roger McCreary CB Auburn
https://youtu.be/iiSmLfQSgxg
One could argue that he was an early 2nd had he come out.The only knock on him for me is controlling the hands and getting the head around sooner to locate the rock. Love his game and my ceiling is a late 1 & floor 3rd.
Trent McDuffie CB Washington
https://youtu.be/wDHJ_aOlBVo
Whether its zone or press this prospect is one of the most technically sound. The ball skills aren't elite but he's certainly capable of making plays. With a good season a late one wouldn't be suprising.
Linebackers : Not a very strong class imo
Christian Harris LB Alabama
https://youtu.be/KGc1CniiNII
One of the parts of his game that gives me pause is in coverage. The tools are certainly there for him to be a three down guy I just dont see a top 10 pick just yet. As of right now Henry is my guy out of that LB core.
Quarterback:
Kenny Pickett QB Pitt Panthers
https://youtu.be/_AwBnobxz3M
I figured I'd post him because I expect the Steelers to go hard to get him. He's a playmaker!
If they do land him I doubt he plays next year.
