PFF Notes on Bears Draft Picks

I'm not a big PFF guy, but these are interesting to note:

 

Kevin White, WR, West Virginia

 

Brandon Marshall is gone but fear not Bears fans because Kevin White is in town. A beast of a receiver, his physicality and ability to win downfield scared many a college defensive back and promise to do the same in the NFL. Only Amari Cooper forced more missed tackles, and only Devin Smith had more deep touchdowns (7) than the talented wideout. A truly explosive player, the tandem of him and Alshon Jeffery is one that rightly has the Bears fans in attendance sitting very pretty. This fit makes all kinds of sense.

 

Eddie Goldman, ID, Florida State

 

What He Brings: An ability to stand up and be counted at the line of scrimmage. Won’t let double teams hurt him like a Carl Davis would and is a guy who can truly eat up blocks. Still could do more in that regard with a rather paltry 16 defensive stops in the run game really unimpressive. Don’t expect much out of him as pass rusher, isn’t his game where 43 interior defenders had higher pass rusher games against the Power-5.

 

Where He Fits: Right on the nose. Its possible the team might use Jay Ratliff there but Goldman is your prototypical space eater who should make life easier for those behind him. He’s no Jordan Phillips mind.

 

Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon

 

The Bears aren’t exactly stacked at center with Will Montgomery currently pencilled in to start so Grasu has a real chance to start. Referred to by some as a poor man’s Jason Kelce, Grasu is an extremely fluid athlete but is a little undersized and it shows with how much help he got at Oregon. Real zone blocking center who had the highest run blocking grade of Power-5 centers in a scheme that was a little friendly in this regard.

 

Jeremy Langford, RB, Michigan State

 

Langford forced at least three missed tackles in six games while gaining an average of 3.1 yards after contact against Power 5 teams, ninth-most in this class. He graded negatively as a blocker and receiver.

 

Adrian Amos, S, Penn State

 

Amos held Power 5 QBs to a 19.2 passer rating on throws into his coverage (3.3 QB rating when covering the slot), the best mark in the class.

I like what they say about Amos.

 

In the latter rounds all the players are flawed. What they want is one they think they can fix or develop and all of the 4th,5th and 6th will be.

 

Langford has speed which is not what we have in our RBs at this time. I think he will be part of a committee with our backups. There were several RBs on the board when he went off, so they must see something special in him, or they wouldnt have took him. Lets see if there right.
