Boston College LT Jude Bowry's tape against TJ Parker showed a lot. Quick off the snap, strong punch, vice grip, played with an edge. Little bit of a short setter but that can be rectified.
Michigan LB/EDGE Jaishawn Barham 6-foot-3, 240 could be on Morris' radar:
Twitchy, versatile chess piece with experience as an off-ball LB and Edge defender. Fluid athlete in space; drops into coverage with relative ease and physically reroutes receivers. Brings the fight to the run game with violence on contact and good edge-setting technique. Utilized as an on the ball Sam in Odd fronts, or Strongside DE vs. 12 personnel (heavier groupings) at the POA. Raw pass-rush plan, inconsistent eye and run-fit discipline as an off-ball LB, but his physical tools and positionless utility offer massive sub-package upside.
Things we know: Morris is flexible in his fronts. Morris likes to blitz at a high rate Morris used LB's to blitz in Atlanta Likely looking for a coverage FS with speed in the draft to shore up coverages
Jordan Meredith is an interesting F/A iOL that Pete Carroll had playing out of position at Center. I think he played really well at OG. Something to keep an eye on with the Raiders on whether or not they tender him.
Too much speed is .. usually.. or can be a hinderance in route running precision. The faster the player the more limited his route tree usually is. Speed is necessary, but technique, and route running savvy is more desirable. Somewhere Al Davis is rolling over in his grave. 🪦
Jerry Rice reportedly ran 4.6, 40. But his playing speed was much faster. I'll never forget him taking a 10 yrd pass and turning up field running full speed with no one chasing him during training camp in Rocklin.
+ Press-man coverage + 81.5 coverage grade in 2025 + 81.8 run defense grade in 2025 + 5.3% missed tackle rate in 2024 + Good athlete for his size + Physical in run support + Ball skills (5 career interceptions) + Ball tracking down the field
- Extensive injury history and 2025 was the first full season he played during his four seasons at Florida - Limited experience with only about 600 snaps prior to 2025 - Lacks elite straight-line speed (4.5 40-yard dash)
REPORT: Caleb Downs was flagged this week with a partially torn meniscus. There is also concern about a possible “degenerative ACL.”

ReplyDeleteTexans releasing Jimmy Ward per Schefter.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t even know Jimmy Ward was on the Texans. Haven’t heard his name in quite some time
DeleteGot arrested for assault late last year.
DeleteWild. Always seemed like a blue collar kind of guy, imo.

Razor,
DeleteHas Morris, since being signed as the 9ers DC gone on the record about what kind of D he will be running?
Not that I'm aware of OldCoach.

Southeastern Louisiana DT Kaleb Proctor
ReplyDeletegoing from 275 at Senior Bowl to 291 at NFL Combine is big boy eating

43 tkls, 13 TFL, & 9 sacks

Vert 33
Broad 9-05

4th fastest top speed of last 4 years
I think in the 4th Round Proctor would fit like a glove in Givens' role as their 3t penetrator.
