73.2 is his entire grade for the season, these are just some of his Week 3 pass protection snaps. 73.2 is also a very satisfactory grade.

David Bailey can create some PRESSURE the Jets pass rush hasn’t seen in a while. Bailey leads all rookies in pressures (8), sacks (2), and FF’s (1) through two weeks. The Jets rookie DE is going to be a PROBLEM for a long time in the NFL 🤯🗜️

Starting Shedeur Sanders against the Raiders is going to be a disaster. He completed 25% of his passes against the Ravens and they have the No. 26 ranked defense (Fox Sports). The Raiders have the No. 17 ranked defense (Fox Sports) and they have…Maxx Crosby. Sanders has one of the slowest times to throw in the NFL -AND-he’s the most hesitant quarterback I’ve ever evaluated on college game film. Sanders picked right up where he left off against the Ravens last week with a regular season time to throw of 3.31 seconds (PFF). * That ranks No. 61 out of 64 NFL quarterbacks. Anyone in the NFL have a slower time to throw than Sanders? Not too many… But Caleb Williams does. Williams time to throw is 3.36 seconds (PFF). Williams ranks No. 62. Why is that relevant? Williams and the Bears faced the Raiders back on September 28. How did Crosby do in that game? He had his second highest pass rush grade of the season according to PFF (86.5). How does the Browns offensive line compare to the Bears? The Bears offensive line has the 6th highest pass blocking grade in the NFL 70.0 (PFF). Where does the Browns pass blocking rank? 32nd. Grade: 36.7 (PFF) 😳

New Lions OL Ben Bartch is an intriguing contender for the starting LG battle — and, at minimum, a valuable young, versatile depth piece: • Started 2 games at LG in each of the last two seasons for the 49ers • 26 career NFL starts: 15 LG / 11 RG • 2025 PFF offensive grade: 71.7 (22nd among OGs — min. 200 snaps) • 6'6", 309 pounds with 32 7/8" arms • 2020 JAX 4th Round Pick / Age 28 Season • 0-star TE recruit who attended Division III Saint John’s (MN) • Moved from backup TE to LT before his junior season (2018) and started the next two years there (27 games) • Notably gained 70 pounds to move to OL thanks to a shake consisting of 7 scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, grits, peanut butter, bananas, and Gatorade — which he famously made for Colleen Wolfe during the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine broadcast (below) • Highest-drafted player in Saint John’s (MN) history and only the second player from the school ever drafted

Couple things about the Jaxson Dart injury play: ▪️Dart retreats aggressively post-snap despite already being in shotgun ▪️Snap was from the LAR 43. Throw was from the NYG 45. ▪️Throw is 12 yards (!) behind the line of scrimmage, not sure how anyone expects LT Thomas and RT Eluemunor to protect such a deep dropback. ▪️NYG interior offensive line does "stop" the three interior LAR pass rushers, but 7 yards into the pocket. At one point, all three rushers are in contact with center John Michael Schmitz. ▪️The entire Rams defense BEAT the Giants offense off the snap. Almost every offensive player did not move on time and gave the defense a head start. ▪️Lastly - this was a BIG TIME throw by Dart and a drop by Theo Johnson.

🚨Only one franchise in NBA history has done this three times. 👀 1987, David Robinson. #1 overall. Two years in the Navy first. They waited. He won Rookie of the Year the moment he stepped on the court. 1996, Robinson breaks his foot. Season over. Spurs go 20-62. Worst record in franchise history. Instead of panicking they won the lottery and drafted Tim Duncan. Robinson came back healthy. Twin Towers. 1999 NBA Champions. Then 22 straight playoff appearances. An NBA record. 5 championships. Manu Ginobili drafted 57th. Tony Parker 28th. Kawhi Leonard 15th. They found greatness everywhere. 2023, Wembanyama. The most unique prospect the NBA has ever seen. 2025, Dylan Harper drafted second overall. Back to back Rookie of the Year winners. The pipeline never stops. 62 wins last season. Western Conference Finals right now. Game 4 tonight in San Antonio. The Spurs are favored at home. Robinson built the foundation. Duncan built the dynasty. Wembanyama is building the next one. Can the Spurs win a 6th championship with Wemby?

You won't find a center with more experience in the 2025 NFL draft than Tennessee's Cooper Mays. By time the season ends he'll have over 3K snaps, all at center, in the SEC. In week 8, He was named the SEC Offensive linemen of the week and was a big reason Tennessee was able to beat Alabama. This season he's only allowed 3 total pressures but its his work in the run game that really stands out. He's explosive out of his stance and has enough athleticism to pull and get out into open space or climb to the second level on inside zone. While also possessing the core strength to move people off the LOS. Overall, he won't wow you when watching him, but he's a smart player and his experience at the highest level of college football is a huge plus at the position. Day three pick with upside.

Brandon Scherff • 10 years (7 w/Redskins-Football Team & 3 w/Jaguars) • 144 career starts (140 regular season) at RG • 1st team All-Pro in 2020 • 5x Pro Bowler • 2015 1st round pick (5th overall) • 2014 Unanimous All-American • 2014 Outland Trophy Winner • Set the Iowa-school record in hang clean at 433 pounds 3x (later broken by Tristan Wirfs) Scherff was an incredibly explosive, twitched-up guard whose peak rivaled any guard in the last decade. He was an elite puller and special run blocker with a potent jump set that will be studied for many years to come. Scherff was also a rookie in 2015 which is exactly when I started studying OL film full-time so his career was extra special and impactful on the way I view the position. Career highlights 👇📽️

“Mitch Marner disappears in the playoffs” One of the coolest parts about X is the having the ability to communicate with thousands of people who live in an entirely different universe. In my native reality, Mitch Marner is ranked 28th overall in points-per-game in the playoffs since he’s come into the league among players with 25+ playoff games played. Tied with Barkov and Ovechkin. That’s higher than all other Leafs, Panarin, Bergeron, Tkachuk, Stamkos, J. Robertson, and plenty more. Again, this is from the time he was a rookie - a wee lad. He’s 12th overall in the last 3 seasons with the same filter - and again, 1st on the Leafs. There is a SIGNIFICANT drop off, league-wide, in playoff scoring. This is not a recent phenomenon. There are 33 players with a point-per-game pace or better over the last 3 regular seasons. There are only 13 players at a point-per-game pace or better over the last 3 playoffs - Marner is one of them. Yes, even with his less productive post-season this year. This narrative that Marner disappears in the playoffs is weighted far too heavily on the confirmation bias of disgruntled fans online after the Leafs get eliminated. It is not rooted in reality. Full blown Marner Derangement Syndrome. There are plenty of justifiable reasons for trading Marner. His ability is not one of them. Here’s a quick highlight pack of Marner in the playoffs over the last 3 seasons for those of you whose bias has turned 16’s jersey into an invisibility cloak (courtesy of Danny9 & HockeyAllStar5): #leafsforever

#WATCH | Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh: On the commissioning ceremony of INS Mahendragiri, Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Krishna Swaminathan says, "... Mahendragiri is the fourth and final warship in the Project 17 Alpha built by MDL (Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited). The vessel has more than 75% indigenous components. Through this project, MDL and the Indian Navy have achieved three major milestones. First, the time from launch to delivery has been reduced by nearly 50%, from 63 months to 31 months. Second, the overall construction period has been cut by around 20%, from 95 months to 75 months. Third, instead of the usual five to seven sea trials, the ship met all requirements in a single sea trial. These achievements reflect the combined efforts of MDL, Indian manufacturers, MSMEs, the Indian Navy's warship overseeing team, trial agencies and the ship's crew."

Day 8 notes - - Tuli Tuipulotu was a full participant in practice for the second day in a row and blew up an Omarion Hampton run on one of his first reps. -Branson Taylor took all the reps at left guard with the group blocking for a Justin Herbert. - First OL-DL one-on-ones of camp: didn’t see all of these but Akheem Mesidor flashed in the ones I did and Jake Slaughter looked solid - Bud Dupree recorded what would’ve been a sack on a rush against Travis Burke during team drills - Justin Eboigbe continued his strong camp, consistently generating interior pressure. - Genesis Smith intercepted Justin Herbert after a pass went through Charlie Kolar’s hands. - Keaton Mitchell fumbled during 11-on-11, with rookie Nick Barrett** recovering. - Donte Jackson had an impressive diving pass breakup during 7-on-7 that led to an Elijah Molden interception of Trey Lance. - Derius Davis beat the defense deep on a pass from Herbert but couldn’t survive the ground after making the catch. - The offensive line consistently created running lanes throughout practice. Overall: Closest thing to real football we’ve seen in camp so far. The Chargers held their first live period (with the third group) where tackling to the ground was allowed. Tuipulotu’s return as a full participant also suggests whatever was being “handled internally” has been resolved. Here’s Rashawn Slater coaching Travis Burke 👇🏾

As a former NFL Scout— Arch Manning does not belong in the first round conversation at this point of his evaluation process. I know. I’ve evaluated every single snap Manning has taken in his college football career. Manning doesn’t belong in the first or second round conversation at this point in the evaluation process and I challenge anyone in America to be able to produce credible and sustained evidence to the contrary. I don’t care what his last name is. I scout the prospect, not the name. I’ve done the work on him and he’s not turning the corner from an NFL perspective. He’s actually regressing. He’s got fluctuating and mostly low level confidence, a lot of bad body language, too much low energy vibe, his pocket awareness is suspect, his throwing mechanics and ball placement are inconsistent, he’s too dependent on throwing check-downs and handing the ball off, he tends to lock in with his receivers, he’s holding the ball too long, he’s generally throwing with below-average-to average anticipation, he’s pretty uncomfortable beyond his first reads, he’s hot and cold, he seems to trust his legs more than his right arm, some of his passes have looked wobbly, he’s got ball security issues, and he’s being reckless at times when he’s running the football. I also think he’s having trouble reading pass coverage. Manning ranks among the FBS leaders with 30 passes behind the line of scrimmage this season (PFF). Yes— He made those two gutsy got-to-have-it 4th down throws against Ohio State. Nothing but respect from me on those two throws 🫡 Outside of that— He looks like an uncomfortable, conservative, and inconsistent college game manager this season. Could this change? Yes. There’s more football to be played. I put a first round grade on Manning after evaluating his spot reps on 2023 and 2024 game film and a second round grade on Manning after evaluating his 2025 game film. I was really optimistic after studying his 2023 game film. No coincidence, that was also when he recorded his fastest time to throw (PFF: 2.74 seconds). But he has not shown that level of confidence since (PFF time to throw in 2025: 2.88 seconds, PFF time to throw in 2026: 3.13 seconds). Manning has the No. 79 ranked completion percentage 63.5% (ESPN: All Conferences Player Passing Stats 2026). That’s where he’s at compared to his college quarterback peers. He “worked himself up” on camera before the first quarter against Tennessee and he produced his best quarter of football this season in the first quarter, but he couldn’t keep himself there. He deflated for the rest of the game like a birthday balloon. 🎈 The stuff that he’s putting on his tape this season so far isn’t good enough from an NFL perspective. His energy is low. He doesn’t seem to have much confidence and he can’t seem to sustain it when he does suddenly get more confident for a short period of time. His pre and post snap process is too slow. To be honest—it does not look like he wants to be the starting quarterback of the Texas Longhorns. Where have I had Manning on my 2027 NFL Draft Board this season? Fluctuating between a third and fourth round value over his past three games, which is either a high or low ceiling developmental prospect. To me— The game vs. No. 1 Ohio State matching up against Ohio State Defensive Coordinator (and former NFL Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator) Matt Patricia was close to an “NFL audition,” and Manning looked like a deer in headlights for most of that game.

As a former NFL Scout— Arch Manning does not belong in the first round conversation at this point of his evaluation process. I know. I’ve evaluated every single snap Manning has taken in his college football career. Manning doesn’t belong in the first or second round conversation at this point in the evaluation process and I challenge anyone in America to be able to produce credible and sustained evidence to the contrary. I don’t care what his last name is. I scout the prospect, not the name. I’ve done the work on him and he’s not turning the corner from an NFL perspective. He’s actually regressing. He’s got fluctuating and mostly low level confidence, a lot of bad body language, too much low energy vibe, his pocket awareness is suspect, his throwing mechanics and ball placement are inconsistent, he’s too dependent on throwing check-downs and handing the ball off, he tends to lock in with his receivers, he’s holding the ball too long, he’s generally throwing with below-average-to average anticipation, he’s pretty uncomfortable beyond his first reads, he’s hot and cold, he seems to trust his legs more than his right arm, some of his passes have looked wobbly, he’s got ball security issues, and he’s being reckless at times when he’s running the football. I also think he’s having trouble reading pass coverage. Manning ranks among the FBS leaders with 30 passes behind the line of scrimmage this season (PFF). Yes— He made those two gutsy got-to-have-it 4th down throws against Ohio State. Nothing but respect from me on those two throws 🫡 Outside of that— He looks like an uncomfortable, conservative, and inconsistent college game manager this season. Could this change? Yes. There’s more football to be played. I put a first round grade on Manning after evaluating his spot reps on 2023 and 2024 game film and a second round grade on Manning after evaluating his 2025 game film. I was really optimistic after studying his 2023 game film. No coincidence, that was also when he recorded his fastest time to throw (PFF: 2.74 seconds). But he has not shown that level of confidence since (PFF time to throw in 2025: 2.88 seconds, PFF time to throw in 2026: 3.13 seconds). Manning has the No. 79 ranked completion percentage 63.5% (ESPN: All Conferences Player Passing Stats 2026). That’s where he’s at compared to his college quarterback peers. He “worked himself up” on camera before the first quarter against Tennessee and he produced his best quarter of football this season in the first quarter, but he couldn’t keep himself there. He deflated for the rest of the game like a birthday balloon. 🎈 The stuff that he’s putting on his tape this season so far isn’t good enough from an NFL perspective. His energy is low. He doesn’t seem to have much confidence and he can’t seem to sustain it when he does suddenly get more confident for a short period of time. His pre and post snap process is too slow. To be honest—it does not look like he wants to be the starting quarterback of the Texas Longhorns. Where have I had Manning on my 2027 NFL Draft Board this season?

FIRST ROUND MOCK

How Matthew Schaefer Is Bringing Back a Position That Hockey Lost to Time In the early days of hockey, teams iced seven players, not six: a goaltender, two defensemen, three forwards, and a versatile wildcard known as the “Rover.” The Rover had no fixed territory. He roamed freely, jumping into attacks, dropping back to defend, and creating chaos wherever the puck went. By the 1910s, the NHA dropped the position to open the ice, increase speed, and reduce congestion. The NHL followed suit in its 1917-18 inaugural season, and the core role vanished from professional hockey. Over a century later, an 18-year-old rookie defenseman for the #Isles is making a compelling case that the Rover, or his version of it, is making a comeback. Schaefer plays like a forward from the blue line. He is the youngest defenseman in NHL history to reach 20 goals (22 right now), the fourth rookie blueliner to hit that mark, and will surely pass Brian Leetch’s all-time rookie defenseman goal record. The numbers are historic. The aura is revolutionary. On tape, the historical parallel is clear. Unlike standard puck-moving defensemen who activate occasionally, he consistently joins rushes as a full participant, turning 4-on-3 situations into 5-on-3 or 5-on-4 advantages at even strength. His elite four-way skating and pace let him lead or trail rushes, catching defenders flat-footed. In the offensive zone, Schaefer roams with purpose. He walks the blue line with deception, sells passes or low wrist shots, then manipulates release point and trajectory to change angles and wire shots top-shelf like an elite forward. He generates high-danger chances from the point and mid-range at an elite rate among defensemen, ranks top-10 in high-danger and mid-range shots, and leads all blueliners in penalties drawn—opponents constantly hook and trip him. Schaefer activates high and pinches aggressively, creating passing lanes and shooting options. His hockey IQ lets him read when to jump and when to recover, with risk-reward baked into his game. In an era that’s prizing speed, skill, and creativity over rigid structure, rover-like play makes sense. The game now rewards players who blur positional lines. Bobby Orr revolutionized the blue line by functioning as a fourth forward. Schaefer feels like the next evolution: a true rover in a six-player world. The position that died in the 1920s for speed has returned because the game is now fast, skilled, and tactically sophisticated enough to support it. Matthew Schaefer isn’t just scoring goals as a defenseman. He’s rewriting the positional landscape one rush at a time. The rover is back and the Islanders have him wearing #48.
