2027 Watch List

There's some decent nuggets in this video about Sammy Brown. Will we draft another wrestler?

Dashawn Spears, Safety, LSU
6-3,210
He was a backup/role player last year so bear in mind that he played a quarter of the snaps a starting safety did. But even so:

1. Best coverage grade of any returning safety.
2. Top 10 run defense grade
3. The best missed tackle percentage of any leading returning safety.*

I really do think he could be battling for Safety 1 with Bolden. Spears has it all - size, coverage ability, good against the run. The only thing I need to see is how he fares athletically.






* Not a bad top 3 for missed tackles.

1. Dashawn Spears - 4.2%
2. KJ Bolden - 4.9%
3. Jelani McDonald - 5.4%

It's going to be good to have reason to watch Oklahoma State this year.

Speaking of Ole Miss. I've just been trying to work out what to do with Suntarine Perkins. Is he one of those prospects that is exceptional in college but doesn't find a positional home in the NFL or can he work as a LB/EDGE hybrid?

Pretty good movement skills for a taller guy. I like that he covers boundary and slot. Could be a TE eraser as well as an eventual Davis replacement.

Really want that eventual Davis replacement in 2027, ready to take over by 2028.

I'm not worried about a Davis replacement. I'm worried about having someone who can step in if Gonzalez forces the issue.

With what McDuffie got, the Pats need to understand that Gonzalez is going to cost at least $31M AAV with 100M guaranteed. I can easily see Gonzo wanting $40M AAV with 120M guaranteed.

I'd like to see them get a deal done before 2027, but I think it's going to be a tough one to get done the longer it drags out.

Not re-signing Gonzo would be a blunder of epic proportions. Not even considering that one.

Agree that the price goes up every day.
