Don't be surprised if Leonard Floyd is a top 10 pick

#17

Quote:This is a guy I think most people are sleeping on, he's an absolute freak athlete at 6'6 241 lbs (with the frame to add 10-15 lbs), he has the rare ability to bend the edge as a pass rusher and is comfortable dropping back in coverage, he was effective in that role at Georgia this past season as they played him at linebacker. Floyd will never have the bulk/strength to be a full time "hand in the dirt" DE but could thrive as a traditional linebacker on 1st/2nd down and pass rush specialist on obvious passing situations. His game projects similarly to Anthony Barr of Minnesota and Jamie Collins of New England. He's a defensive chess piece and is the kind of guy that can wreck an offensive game plan, if used properly. While I don't think he's in play at 5, he's a guy I wouldn't mind the Jags targeting if we traded down to 10-12.


Ironically his nickname is "The Freak".
