Since he doesn't publish the formula, it does strain credulity a little bit. It would be nice to plug in specific players to see how the model holds up for historical players, or how it projects more recent prospects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's much more of a cautionary indicator on which players not to draft (i.e. Fowler over Beasley) than it is on which players to draft without the good tape to go with it. It checks a box though, so I'm happy to see Sweat make the list. It was originally the "Waldo" formula produced by a poster on another board, but he's kind of fallen off the map, so his buddy has been running a modified version of it ever since. Seems like he's lost interest a bit though, since he hasn't published any articles on it since 2017, though he does still post which players were FPs before every draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Dee Ford and Jadaveon Clowney as non-force players. I really want to know how heavily which attributes are weighted. Edit: Upon review, it looks like Sweat's 10 yard split was 1.50. Paul Richardson and Adrian Peterson both ran a 1.53. Sick. Also, Ben Banogu ran a 1.47. that's crazy. Edited May 14, 2019 by Anselmheifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to know how heavily which attributes are weighted. Yeah, I think agility has a pretty significant weight. I'm not sure about Ford's agility drills since he didn't run at the combine, but Clowney graded out as just "OK" there in his RAS. Though they did both run impressive 40's (Ford at his pro day). I think it makes sense for agility to be a strong factor, considering these guys aren't running 10 or 40 yards in a straight line. Clowney, though an elite run defender, is not the pass rusher the Texans thought he would be (I'm sure their fans agonize over what could have been if they had drafted Mack instead), which is why he still hasn't been paid. And Ford was just passed over for a second contract in favor of the Chiefs trading for Frank Clark, whom the formula identified as a Force Player, even though he was drafted in the mid-rounds. I'd say, with the names I mentioned above, this is a good example of the formula getting it right. Edited May 14, 2019 by HTTRDynasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that those guys are better, but I don't think Kerrigan is a full tier below those guys when it comes to production. Just a quick glance, over the last 4 years Kerrigan only has I think 2 or 3 fewer sacks than Miller. From 2014 to 2017, just a slightly older article from PFF, Miller had 44 games with 4 or more pressures while Kerrigan had 39. From 2011 to 2017 Kerrigan was second only to Von Miller on total pressures with 445, and 3rd behind Miller and Jordan on QB hits and sacks. I just think Kerrigan is underated and having Sweat on the other side will show that. Assuming he is as good as we think he is. This Dline could be incredible with Allen and Payne having more experience and the pressure from the outside. It's very exciting. and just now hiitin 30...2 or 3 prime left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 10 yard time seems to be a better tool for evaluating pass rushers than a 40 yard time IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Blaster Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 What I find interesting watching Sweat play was he was generally lined up as a 6-technique, which limited his athletic upside. He should be in a 9-technique much more with the Redskins which should allow him to utilize his speed and athleticism more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Well @Burgold , we know we he's fast ; Gruden says he eats up ground. One of Gruden's expressions that I like. But apparently he's not only horizontally impressive, but also got some decent vertical skills too. He can jump even higher than Anthony Mix.

Skinn Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Sweat and McLaurin are still unsigned according to this from an NBC sports article about Kyle Rudolph . " Rudolph is owed $7.5 million after June 1, and the Redskins only have about $10 million left in cap space. The team will need some money during the season to sign players as injuries inevitably pop up, and Washington still has to agree to terms with first-round pick Montez Sweat and third-rounder Terry McLaurin.
