Wypler may be on the small side, but he’s as advanced a redshirt sophomore offensive lineman as you’ll see. He’s likely a center only, and a darn good one, after earning overall grades of 82.4 and 79.6 in his two seasons as a starter.

Where he wins: Leverage

Wypler understands line-of-scrimmage play. He’s so good at establishing and re-establishing leverage. His game is what you’d expect from a fifth- or sixth-year player.

What’s his role: Center

Wypler doesn’t have an ideal frame to move to guard. He’s going to be a center at the next level.

What can he Improve: Anchor

This isn’t too surprising considering he’s a third-year player declaring early. One can expect this to improve in the coming years, but it’ll likely still be an issue early on in his NFL career.

CB, DJ Turner, Michigan

 

DJ Turner NFL Draft Scouting Report

CB, Michigan Wolverines

DJ Turner is the top cornerback on the Michigan Wolverines’ defense. Before his collegiate career began, he was ranked as a three to 4-star high school recruit. He helped lead his defense and team to the 2017 state championship and Turner was named the Defensive Player of the Game. After participating in the finals of the Nike Opening, Turner was named one of the 20 most athletic recruits. To begin his career at Michigan, he spent time as a special teamer during his freshman and sophomore seasons. As a junior in 2021, he began to earn more playing time on defense and starts. That rolled into the 2022 season, where he became the unquestioned starting outside cornerback. 

Turner is a gifted and explosive athlete at the cornerback position. In coverage, Turner is an irritant for opposing wide receivers. He combines elite deep speed, oily hips, and quick-and-light feet to mirror and match his assignment. I love the patience and instincts he plays with, especially in man-to-man coverage. Turner has shown the ability to run with nearly every wide receiver he has faced this season. One of the best terms to describe his game is “sticky.” On tape, he is routinely spotted in the hip pocket of opposing receivers. The ability to blanket talented receivers and remain in phase on most reps cannot be undervalued. An ultimate competitor, Turner plays the ball and the receiver’s hands to force pass breakups.

Don’t forget, he is experienced as a zone corner as well. He uses proper drops based on the zone coverage responsibilities. His football IQ is evident as he squeezes routes to eliminate options for the quarterback before making a play on anything threatening his zone. He does a nice job baiting quarterbacks into the throws he wants near his assigned zone. The athleticism and burst to close and drive on routes are impressive. Turner is a willing participant in the run game and tackles well for a cornerback. He does not appear to hesitate or make those back-breaking “business decisions” that hurt his team. 

Turner does not have the longest arms and is not the tallest cornerback. Bigger receivers do pose challenges for Turner to play through their body to break up the pass attempt. He is susceptible to being posted up by these bigger-bodied wideouts. His lack of arm length shows up on some contested-catch instances. Turner tackles well enough as a cornerback but he lacks striking power. I do envision Turner being able to consistently knock ball carriers backward when engaging. He has to defeat run and stalk blocks with more quickness than power. He should not be expected to stack and shed blocks with physicality at his size. 

In all, an NFL team will be receiving one of the better cover corners in the 2023 draft class. Turner’s blend of athleticism, competitiveness, instincts, and coverage flexibility gives him a high floor and ceiling heading into the NFL. Turner looks his best in tight man-to-man coverage. This is where his quiet footwork and smooth transitions are an advantage. Teams that need a young cornerback that can step into the CB2 spot as a rookie will be happy with Turner.

• Coverage versatility

With the 88th pick the NY Jets select our future Slot Receiver/PR Nathaniel "Tank" Dell. University of Houston.

 

SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS

 

• Hugely productive receiver - led the nation over the past two years with over 2700 yds and 29 TDs
• Dell accelerates quickly and possesses excellent straight-line speed. He shows solid ball-tracking skills and body control downfield, able to adjust to the off-target throw.
• A crisp precise route runner who never rounds the corners
• While primarily a slot receiver he has displayed the capability to operate on the outside
• Has elite lateral movement - has the ability to get sideline to sideline in a flash
• Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll somehow come down with it.
• He is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
• Dell also proved to be a force in catch-and-run situations. An agile runner who transitions upfield quickly after the catch, Dell has the speed to pick up chunks of yardage in the open field
• Keeps his feet active and eyes up to dodge traffic quickly and easily. Has excellent straight-line speed to be a breakaway threat at any level. Will initiate contact and runs through high tackle attempts but isn't overall a powerful player.

With the 93rd Selection in the Jetsnation mock draft, the 3 time and current World Champion, Kansas City Chiefs select -

Sydney Brown, S, Illinois

Overview

A physical safety who is limited by a lack of fluidity in space. Brown has straight-line speed and is very effective mapping his transit to the ball-carrier near the line of scrimmage. However, his missed tackles are concerning considering the position he plays. He competes hard in man coverage, using everything at his disposal to prevent tight ends from making plays, but above average pass-catchers could be too much for him to handle as a pro. Brown will need to prove he can win in the box and shine on special teams to stick around in the league.

Strengths

• Compact frame with a densely built lower half.
• Posted 10 career interceptions, with six in 2022.
• Uses force to slow tight end’s route release.
• Exploits the crevices as run defender in the box.
• Steps downhill to create a firm edge against an outside run.
• Plays with solid anticipation and build-up speed.

HB Devon Achane, Texas A&M

@nj meadowlands is on deck

 

Devon Achane Draft Profile

College: Texas A&M
Age: 21
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 185

Strengths

Achane is a track star as well, and that speed translates to the football field. He's one of the fastest players in this draft, both with his long speed and in his ability to accelerate and get to that top speed. 

He became a more complete player over the past two years, and a more complete runner, showing improved vision, patience and creativity in creating between the tackles. He has the stop-start ability to pick his way through traffic. In the open field, he has home-run speed and then some — he'll destroy pursuit angles up the sideline, and in the middle of the field, he'll often outrun defenders to the pylon. 

The Aggies had an expanded passing-game role for him last season, and he looked increasingly comfortable as a pass-catcher as the season progressed. He's undersized, but he was efficient while handling a much bigger workload as a junior following the departure of Isaiah Spiller to the NFL. Achane brings value as a kick returner as well, with kickoff return TDs each of the past two seasons.

@IndianaJet missed his pick

Browns need a lot of things but DT is a big one.  So with the 98th pick of the draft, the Cleveland Browns select Adetomiwa Adebawore DL,  Northwestern.  He's  best as IDL, where he executes a very good inside pass rush, but he can play outside as a 5T.  Versatile and a good fit inside to go with Miles Garrett or Okoronkwo.  Also, I have no idea why he is ranked 403 on our sheet.  He's ranked much higher everywhere else.  Like in the top 100!
