I am a pretty big Seahawks fan and have been following seahawksdraftblog.com for years. It is the go to source for all things draft related for the Seahawks. Each post by Rob Stanton can get upwards of 1000 comments by diehards.
I am admitting my bias, but I also feel like I have an eye for football. I played division 3 for 4 years before transferring to Tech. I truly believe that Rob Stanton is one of the best reads when it comes to football scouting. His final mock drafts have consistently ranked in the top percentages when the media turns them in for scoring.
With all that said. I wanted to post his recent post where he compares Daniel Jeremiah's top 50 with his. He has a link to both in the article.
As most of you know Daniel has Tremaine Edmunds number 3 on his big board for overall prospects. Rob Stanton has him as one of 11 players he has given first round grades.
"Tremaine Edmunds (LB, Virginia Tech) — he's just an incredible talent. Edmunds can play inside linebacker, outside linebacker, LEO, he can rush. You can ask him to do so many jobs. He'll appear from nowhere to blow up a screen or sweep, he'll chase down the ball carrier and make a secure tackle in space, force turnovers with jarring hits and he's always in control. He has great size (6-4, 235lbs) and length. Expect a great workout at the combine and a very, very high grade among scouts. For more on Tremaine Edmunds Click here." Rob Stanton
Here is the real interesting part. Rob has also given our boy Tim Settle one of his 11 first round grades.
"Tim Settle (DT, Virginia Tech) — it's surprising to see Settle receive so little hype, especially after he declared for the draft as a redshirt sophomore. You don't see many players do that, especially not 6-3, 328lbs defensive tackles. There's a reason though. Settle has the size to play nose but the quickness, get-off and pass rush ability to be so much more. He had 12.5 TFL's in 2017. That's incredible for a 328lber. In comparison, Vita Vea had 5.5 TFL's and Da'Ron Payne 1.0. The scary thing is he could stand to lose a little weight and be even better. For more on Tim Settle Click here.." Rob Stanton
I am not going all in on believing the hype that we may have two possible first rounders, but I figured the reads were worth sharing.
P.S.
The coverage of the Senior Bowl is worth a read if you are a draft junky.
