[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 766981, member: 12283"] Landry seems to be one of the most polarizing prospects in this draft class. His 2016 season was dominant, but his 2017 was disappointing. He demonstrates the rarest pure pass rush ability in this class, but is also unrefined. Because of the question marks surrounding his 2017 season, I personally wanted to see an elite combine performance if I was going to feel good about him at #14. With the numbers in, I thought I would provide a little context. The metrics that most heavily correspond to pass rush success in the NFL are the three cone drill (most especially) in conjunction with the jumps. Good figures in these drills, performed at a reasonable size, translate very well to success in the league. Landry had a 36" vertical, 119" broad, and a 6.88 three cone at 6'2" 252 lbs. To put those numbers into context, I ran some filters through pro-football reference. Going back to 2000, here are the edge prospects who were at least 245 lbs, had as 6.90 3C or better, and hit Landry's numbers in the jumps: [LIST] [*]Von Miller, 2011, Broncos [*]Demarcus Ware, 2005, Cowboys [*]Kyle Vanden Bosch, 2001, Cardinals [*]David Pollack, 2005, Bengals [*]Connor Barwin, 2009, Texans [*]J.J. Watt, 2011, Texans [*]Brian Robison, 2007, Vikings [*]Jordan Willis, 2017, Bengals [*]T.J. Watt, 2017, Steelers [*]Tyus Bowser, 2017, Ravens [/LIST] That's the whole list. Watt, Willis, and Bowser are obviously only a year in. All three showed promise but the jury is still out. Vanden Bosch, Barwin, and Robison have been or were all three very strong NFL starters. Miller, Ware, and Watt Sr. are obviously super stars. Pollack is the only bust of the group. These numbers put Landry in rare, rare company. It's possible that it was only his ankle slowing him down in 2017. If that has checked out medically, the Packers would likely do well to take him at #14. These types of edge players are hard to come by. [/QUOTE]
