According to Garret Mehal at Pro Football Focus, only four linebackers in the NFL have graded higher than Oluokun since Week 7.

LB Foyesade Oluokun followed his career high 79.5 grade on Monday Night with a 73.0 grade vs. Washington. In 88 snaps in the last two games, he has 10 tackles (7 for stops), 2 QB hits, and has only allowed 45 yards in coverage. Since week 7, only 4 linebackers have graded higher than Oluokun.

 

 

 

 

 

And we know ito smith is balling.. This rookie class has been lowkey impressive ...I thought some of you was over hyping Foye at the beginning of the year but i think the only bright spot of Deion Jones missing games is Foye getting play time ... He is developing nicely

Impressive

How does PFF handle drops?

[falconsfan4life3 1,046]

Even though it’s limited snaps PFF (hes unranked) has Russell Gage as a 72.0 overall as well.

Crazy good draft. Excited about the 19 draft when we should have a couple compensation picks. Those are like gold with the way the FO drafts in the mid rounds.

Argh how can that be I heard TD and the FO were idiots and have been for a decade.

Purple.

Agree. 

[Mid-Nite-Toker 6,964]

The homer in me wanted Jaire Alexander, but Ridley has been impressive and Oliver is on schedule.

Senat and Foye look like huge steals right now...Ito isn't far behind.

Superb scouting it seems.

[Disco 239]

Love this draft class. The office has really responded to all the criticism that has been around this team lately. Now it's time to shine against our opponents in the NFC.

People need to understand why this team values draft picks so much and why they don’t trade them flippantly. This team drafts well. Considering where the team picked in last years draft, the recent draft class has been very productive. 

[KCFalcon22 413]

I don’t know if we will ever have a draft class better than the 2016 class!!!  6 picks 5 starters, best draft class in my Falcon lifetime.

By their numbers a drop must have more weight than a TD lol

Im not sure, but Moore also has 3 fumbles...

That may play a factor in it, however the point still remains that Calvin Ridley has proven to be the better draft pick between the two rookies, & it isn’t even close!

Moore is rated higher because he gets better coverage. Ridley has beaten some absolute nobodies for his TDs. Albeit, the way he's doing it is impressive enough that someone who knows NFL football knows it will translate against better defenders. PFF doesn't account for such

 

Edit: I'm more surprised Roquan Smith isn't on the LB list. Circumstantial? Or was his preseason holdout that big of a factor?

[MSalmon 9,709]

I think Ito, Foye and Senat are the “gems” of this draft. Ridley was a no brained—he was great in college, combine and checked all the blocks. Oliver was a projected first rounder by many. But Senat, Ito and Foye were excellent scouting example.

It has nothing to do with him beating “nobodies”. He’s beaten some defecent corners. It’s more that Julio draws coverage away from everybody and DJ Moore doesn’t have that luxury. He didn’t do much against tru and Alf. If Matt would’ve looked for Ridley against the eagles instead of trying to force feed Julio he probably would be #1. That game is probably why he doesn’t have the top spot.

I remember telling many guys that were worried about losing Poe that senat was strong as and ox with cat like quickness and that he’d be great for us. Nobody was listening because Poe was a name they knew.
