Atlien 404 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 http://insider.espn....dick_RookieFits Winston, Beasley among rookies who can succeed early 2. Vic Beasley, OLB, Atlanta Falcons (No. 8 overall pick) The Falcons have been terrible at getting after the quarterback the past few seasons, and in 2014, they pressured opposing quarterbacks on just 22 percent of dropbacks (29th in the league) and sacked QBs on just 3.89 percent of passing attempts (31st in the league). Beasley could help fix the problem, as he has what new Falcons coach Dan Quinn is looking for out of his edge rushers from both a character and skill standpoint. Quinn wants to construct what he had in Seattle from his pass rush, and Beasley can play the same type of role as Chris Clemons did in 2013 and Cliff Avril (base defense) and Bruce Irvin (sub-packages and nickel) did in 2014. Yes, Beasley needs to play with better strength against the run on first and second downs, and yes, he needs to develop a consistent power/bull rush component to his game that complements his unique set of speed and finesse pass-rush skills. But in Quinn, a former D-line coach, and current D-line coach Bryan Cox, he has two coaches capable of developing the physical, power component to his game. Look for Beasley, barring injury, to be a force to be reckoned with in his rookie season coming off the edge on third down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb 3.0 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 1. Jameis Winston, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (No. 1 overall pick)I don't believe there were any transcendent prospects in the 2015 NFL draft who project as surefire successes in the pros. As good as Winston is, and even though he plays the most important position in football, he is going to need several things in place around him in order for him to be successful. Fortunately, I believe the Bucs have many of those pieces already in place.For starters, head coach Lovie Smith is universally respected in the coaching profession for his credibility as a leader, his competency in the X's and O's element of the game, and for his positive impact on the coaches and players around him. New offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter ran a multiple offense with the Falcons in terms of personnel groupings, formations and route designs, and those things aren't foreign to Winston after what he was asked to do at Florida State.GM Jason Licht has titles on his résumé as both a coach and a front-office executive, so he knows what a successful program is supposed to look like. Moreover, he has surrounded Winston with the type of big, tall perimeter weapons that he likes (WRs Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans and TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins) and took two offensive linemen (Donovan Smith and Ali Marpet) in the 2015 draft who should upgrade a weak unit from 2014, particularly in pass protection.If the Winston pick is to ultimately be a success, all of the listed variables will have to work in lockstep, creating an environment in which it is difficult for him to fail. Time will tell, but I think this match can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
