Ryan Roberts from SI wrote a pretty good story on the merits of Jack Coan.

Having that sort of touch is big time at the quarterback position. You’ll hear the term “layering the football” a ton in that regard. Being able to establish and attack leverage with proper pace allows for wide receivers to make plays on the football - making it incredibly difficult for defenders to disrupt the catch point.
From a physical perspective, Coan certainly looks the part of your traditional pocket passer. Measuring in at 6-3 and 217 pounds, with 9'1⁄2” hands, he boasts a quick and compact delivery. Whether working as a traditional drop back passer or off of run action, he is able to get the ball out quickly.

I don’t think we have to take one in round 1 if the board doesn’t fall our way.
Just finished studying Minnesota edge rusher Boye Mafe. The splash plays at the SR Bowl weren’t a fluke. This dude is explosive!! He’s a first round talent.

I like Mafe as a developing player but 1st round talent is a bit premature IMO. I'd say maybe 2nd round. Mafe showed out against the turds on the schedule but got shut down against the better teams in the BIG. He did little against the likes of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Ohio State who actually have NFL-caliber linemen. He's getting better though and showed a massive improvement last season. One week doesn't make a guy, gotta consider the body of work. [Reply]

And it's also... how many round 1 DEs can there be?
Thibodeaux and Hutchinson and Karlaftis and Ojabo seem to be locks. Johnson II, Arnold Ebitekie, Drake Jackson, Cam Thomas, and Travon Walker (who is a LE in a 43 and a 5-tech DE in a 34, IMO) all have fist-round buzz.
We're now 9 deep before we even get to Mafe, and I don't think there's a guy in that list that WOULDN'T get drafted before Mafe. [Reply]
