Quick feet, accurate strikes. Doesn't get talked about enough but with so many prospects it's tough to mention everyone.Definitely PTP. Nice character, mature, captain. One of my fav later rd.
I was comparing Hainsey's tape to Thuney's. He's improving as well, strong @SrBowl as G+C
I hope Bill takes advantage of this rare deep OL class and takes 2 for good measure..
Yep...2 OLmen, 2 WRs, Mac Jones, 4 front-7 players & 1 CB for the pipeline.Definitely PTP. Nice character, mature, captain. One of my fav later rd.

Nolan Nawrocki is a big shot in the draft industry. This is why I don't care about missing on a player and remind myself I grade 200-300 prospects every year. Carrying on about DK Metcalf or whatever prospect is meaningless and done by people who don't a big board to show fpr themselves. I wish there were a draft committee of sorts to look at media/amateur grades every year partly bc of that.
Not sure tbh.Why would Zierlein post that?
Nawrocki was right about Scam Newton, btw.
What's interesting is a lot of what you're saying is true but looking at the game again TB won doing some of the opposite. Like they purposely gave up contain to get Mahomes moving on his toe. Lots of White's impact this year came from splash plays rather than cerebral ones.It was a fun SB. Everything every analytic/analytics/metrics & pundit said about the game was thrown out the window. The single greatest thing about football, apart from being ultimate team game (that includes front office, coaches & staff) is that nobody (BB included) knows how the game is going to go. The only thing you can control is your focus, your job and your mind. TB retirees controlled their own & KC mind from the get go. This is what Tom & the coaches & the vets brought to the most undisciplined talent previously. And this is one aspect that is always underrated. The mind game. Its not just the body, the mind gives you speed and power and physicality as well.
And yes, it was a nice and sweetly ironic revenge of positions that the new analytics/pundit generation thinks not important. If you cant hold your own in the trenches (that includes TE PP&blocking, RB PP&blitz pickup, EDGE setting, LB gap control/shooting etc) you wont be able to use your shiny expensive weapons esp. in big games.
TB LB play was one of the highlights of the game but its not just about speed. There are so many fast LBs in the game with little impact. Athletes like White are extremely rare. Esp. while being great players as well. And lets give credit to coaching and game planning as well
I know highlight reels don't tell the full story, but this game was so enjoyable that I can't resist. Felton seems like a no-brainer as a running back and pass catcher. Potential James White replacement if White moves on to join Brady.
