Posted April 28 *****Please do not quote this post***** *****Think about our mobile users***** Chris Lindstrom What I Like Quick, I mean this man moves. You want a pulling guard? This is your man. Picks up stunts like he knows when they are coming Pass blocking is nooiicee, Matt will finally have a pocket to step into. Nasty player, he always is trying to hit someone even if he does not have to. Will do anything to pick up his block, I've seen him jump and stretch out just to get the tiniest push on someone to slow them down instead of letting them run by Gets to linebackers fast, will block them before the RB is even at the line of scrimmage What I Do Not Like Will not move anyone back in the run game. This is not to say he is bad at run blocking, just that he will not be a mauler or be pushing anyone back Needs to work on his balance some more Can get pushed back by more powerful guys Why He Will Succeed We are a passing team and he excels at pass blocking, the offense will allow him to play to his strength and his run blocking will be good but not great. Why He Will Fail He will get abused by strong powerful rushes who knock him off balance and either push him to the side or push him straight to the ground. Kaleb McGary What I Like His run blocking, when the team is running it is like this dude levels up, he can be blocking one man and then someone tries to run by and he will jump like a grasshopper and stonewall the second man Run blocking push, he will drive you back to the second level and push you out of the play because **** you that's why Confident he will out muscle any rusher you put in front of him Will ride speed rushers off the screen completely behind his QB If a defender runs right at him they are not going anywhere Super aggressive, will not wait for you. He is coming for you. What I Do Not Like Can struggle with guys who are quicker and swat his arms away so they can jump/run around him Not the best blocker in space, again quick guys can get around him His aggressiveness will lead to him jumping offsides at times That is really my only worry is quicker guys getting around him whether it be a run or pass Why He Will Succeed He is going to punch his opponents in the mouth and out muscle the man in front of him. Why He Will Fail He will struggle against the speed rushers of the NFL and be unable to get his hands on them consistently enough to block them. Against those speed rushers I suggest at times we use a RB/TE to chip them and help out McGary Bonus If he's on the team when Vacarro hit Ryan I would bet he gets ejected that game for retaliation. Kendall Sheffield What I Like Sure tackling Sticky man coverage Elite Speed Anticipates throws very quickly (when he's watching the ball) Active hands when he is thrown at Seems to get his head around when thrown at but could still use some work Violent hands when tackling (think Jalen Collins forcing fumbles in the playoffs) Not easy to block Can lay the boom given the chance Tracks the ball well What I Do Not Like Can get caught with his pants down if he has his back to the QB I fear he has gotten by in life on sheer speed and talent and may not feel the need to work on his craft Why He Will Succeed We move him to FS and let him roam, constantly watching the eyes of the QB and lurking. Or we get his technique down and he becomes a nice slot corner that allows Kazee to play FS. Why He Will Fail He does not improve on his technique and he never learns to find the ball after his back is turned I really think we move him to FS and he takes over for Rico next year. John Cominsky What I Like He fast When he does get low he seems untouchable for guards Stout in the run game, stands guys up and does not get pushed back When lined up at DT he pushes the guard back collapsing the pocket Nice swim move when he actually uses it Once he moved inside during the senior bowl they started to double team him Bats balls down at the LOS What I Do Not Like Needs to make sure he gets his pad level down (I do not wanna see your shoulders get pushed behind your butt John) Needs to be more violent with his hands, slap the **** outta some dudes my guy Not an edge pass rusher but that is ok, he did not get pushed back but instead drove guys back which would be awesome for a base DE who slides inside Needs better balance, got thrown off his feet a couple times Why He Will Succeed We will use him as a base DE on run downs and then slide him in at DT in passing situations. He will learn to be more violent with his hands and correct his pad level/balance. He will also actually use the spin move more regularly. Why He Will Fail He will never get his pad level down and will continue to be knocked off balance. We will utilized him poorly and try to make him an edge rusher. Qadree mutha ****in Ollison What I Like He's a freight train Falls forward cause those are his yards Has cut ability because Does not dance around. See hole, hit hole What I Do Not Like That he was not a Falcon sooner Needs to get lower at times, can be a little upright Could use just a little more patience Why He Will Succeed We run more power plays and let him do his thing. Wears down teams and allows Free/Green/Ito to tear it up even more Why He Will Fail We make him run outside, he can do this but it is not his strong suit. Jordan Miller What I Like Dem Hands Swagger, you can tell when buddy is feeling himself. He has an attitude. Tracks the ball better than some WR's he covers Can lay a hit Gets his head around (take notes Alford, dusty ***) Reads runs well and attacks His man coverage is sticky What I Did Not Like Looked a wee little grabby His drop back technique makes me feel like he is vulnerable to curl routes, but that could just be the coverage Wash ran Going for the big hit at times can lead him to getting pushed to the side and allow the WR to get YAC Why He Will Succeed He has experience in the cover 3 and cover 1. He already has nice coverage and nice hands Why He Will Not Succeed I find it hard to believe he will fail. I think barring an injury or radical change in play he will be awesome. Has the making to be my favorite pick Marcus "all i see is" Green What I Like FAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTT Shifty, doesn't care about ya ankles Lowers the shoulder, yeah you read that right. He does not care about your well being Vision, I wear glasses and I bet he still sees the field better than I could. Not afraid to go over the middle What I Do Not Like Body catcher, attack the ball young man Could use work on his route running Always tries to get the edge, sometimes you gotta cut up and go Why He Will Succeed He will be our punt returner/kick returner and we will utilize him on screens, tosses, and as a change of pace to Olli and Free. Also will be excellent in the slot and help stretch the defense. Like @MSalmon said we could probably manufacture about 5 or so touches a game to let him bust one. Why He Will Fail We will only use him as a RB and not utilize him at WR. May not fail but will not reach full potential. falconsfan84, GeorgiaBoyz, Tandy and 53 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 28 (edited) Really nice personal take. Was honestly a little peeved Day 1 with them not going Dline on the first two picks, but I understood why and after looking up Linstrom and McGary I think this was a smart move by the FO. Love the strength and nastiness these guys bring. Hope Cominsky can contribute and I'm amazed at the speed of both CB's. My favorite pick so far is Ollison though. Very big and strong 'mow you down' type RB with deceptive speed for a man his size. Very good draft IMO.

I’ve learned that’s the best route. I was bummed about the 2 rb selections but I feel like Ollison can be a fullback if needed. Blocking, carrying and catching out the backfield. I’m certain that won’t be the reality but he’s certainly big and physical enough Knight of God and Yo_Lover like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 28 Great analysis. Pretty spot on actually and well thought out. Two minor things I differ on... 1. Sheffield looks like a better fit at NB for me. I know we cross train our NB's & FS's, but he's so physical and competitive I think you want him in and around the line of scrimmage. His footwork and COD is elite and would be somewhat wasted as a single high. 2. Qadree Ollison I thought displayed exceptional patience and vision in the snaps I've seen. Definitely a strong point for me. My comparison would be Arian Foster. ShadyRef, Yo_Lover, Ergo Proxy and 2 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ollison had some moments running where he would run right past his FB and into a defender which is why I said he's gotta be just a little bit more patient. I like the Foster comparison, think he's more power with agility where foster was more agile with power. MSalmon and Smiler11 like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only one is mcgary, although I think you meant this in your writing. He’s great at space getting to second level. But, he like many an OT has issues with wide lined fast DE. Someone in a nascar or wide 0 running at him. His ability to go lateral isn’t as elite as that of the top LTs. This isn’t a bad thing, many LTs struggle with that. You’re right though, you either put a tE, TB or H-Back to chip or counter block. The nice thing with Lindstrom and his pulling ability is if an unbalanced line or speed rusher does that then yiu have Lindstrom knock the guy on his *** and run behind him great write up!
