2022 RCF NFL Mock Draft: ON THE CLOCK...

[Randolphkeys]

I informed @JDailey23 he is on the clock this morning. I'm giving him until the end of the work day to make a pick.

 

[JDailey23]

With the 148th pick, the Chicago Bears select:

Markquese Bell - Safety - Florida AM



Active, lanky safety with run support flashes but a need for better technique and body control as a tackler. Bell has experience at a variety of alignments but is too tight-hipped to be cast in heavy-duty coverage assignments. His movements are unorthodox and lack desired fluidity, but he plays with a burst to close that helps him do his job. He could use a more clearly defined skill set to flash enough to make a practice squad or back-end of a roster.

@Stark is on the clock.

 

[Stark]

Y’all my computer took a shit and RCF is awful on my phone. I need a fill in for the rest. Sorry.

 

[sportscoach]

Alright since I am up and moving, I will be @Stark 's sub... IF you don't like my pick, ain't my fault lol

With the 149th pick in the NFL draft the Carolina Panthers and the sub assistant GM @sportscoach select

Matt Waletzko OT North Dakota St

MATT WALETZKO OT NORTH DAKOTA | NFL DRAFT PROFILE & SCOUTING REPORT​

40 TIME: 5.03 SECONDS

HEIGHT: 6-7 WEIGHT: 310

HANDS: 10 1/8 ARMS: 35 1/8 SPAN: 85 6/8 DRAFT PROFILE: BIO​ Matt Waletzko was virtually unheard of high school player who only received a single scholarship offer - from North Dakota in the FCS after being graded a two-star prospect and the 29th best tackle prospect in the state of Minnesota. As a freshman in 2018, he saw action in nine games and made five starts at left tackle. The following year Waletzko started the first six games of the season at left tackle before suffering a season-ending injury. He returned in 2020 as a junior and started seven games at left tackle as he allowed just two allowed sacks on 447 offensive plays. He was named to the All-MVFC Second Team and earned All-MVFC Academic First Team honors as a result. As a senior Waletzko had his best year to date as on 620 plays he surrendered no sacks and gave up just 8 total pressures at left tackle. He was named to All-America Second Team and was an All-MVFC First Team selection from Phil Steele at the season's end. SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS​ At 6-foot-7 and weighing 310 pounds, Waletzko has the ideal length for an offensive tackle. He also displays outstanding athleticism for his size, and the strength required to stand firm at the point of attack. In the final two years of his college football career at left tackle he allowed no sacks and only 12 total pressures in pass protection Long arms (measure over 35 inches), a huge wingspan (86-inch), and big hands enable him to keep defenders at bay Blocks with consistent base width and has good lateral agility with the quickness in pass protection to mirror rushers outside Has fluid body control with loose hips. Physical and tough with good effort in the run game. Plays with a finishing attitude with an aggressive, nasty temperament. Decent foot quickness to remain outside. Can get to the second level with surprising agility when adjusting to moving defenders. Underrated athleticism, agility, balance, and even straight-line speed to contribute - ran a surprisingly fast 5.03 in the forty at the combine Quick out of his stance with the footwork to be effective in front of screens. Willing to get out in front of ballcarriers to take out defensive backs and linebackers. Finds defenders with his hands immediately and gets feet moving to engage and sustain. Eases out of his stance and has a finisher's mentality. Has above-average mobility and keeps his base square to adjust to counters. SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES​ Is often late off the snap enabling the defender to get an initial move on him/li> Overreaches which means he often loses balance resulting in him losing his footing Limits ability to mirror by leaning forward with his upper body and neglecting his lower body. Not strong enough and remains rough around the edges. High-cut and doesn't always bend knees well. Set in pass protection is high, and that affects the power and ability to anchor and causes him to bend at the waist. Stronger pass rushers can get under his pads and steer him aside. Height can be a detriment in short-yardage, defender can get under his pads to hold the line. Will punch at smaller defenders instead of latching on and is more of a mauler than mover in the running game. Can improve maintaining outside leverage when doubling the nose. Ducks his head and gets too upright, causing him to fall off second-level blocks. SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY​ The FCS prospect Matt Waletzko's stock has been rising of late due to his senior bowl invite and impressive combine performance. He has elite length and outstanding overall athletic ability and has some excellent skills as a pass protector combined with decent movement as a run blocker. He however has only average strength and could do with adding 20 pounds if he wants to dominate at the pro level. He also comes with the usual criticism of any FCS player - that he hasn't been tested against top-flight opposition, although we think he's demonstrated the ability to hold up at the next level. Waletzko is a good pro prospect with excellent upside who could easily become a quality player at either tackle positions and will likely be viewed as a fourth-round prospect in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Great left tackle length at 6'5 with 35 3/8th arm length. The athleticism is there, so I see swing tackle as his floor.

The Atlanta Falcons Spencer Burford, UTSA, OL

he first ever 4-star signee in UTSA football history, Spencer Burford became a starter for the Roadrunners as a true freshman and was a fixture on the offensive line across four seasons. He began his career at left guard before spending his final two seasons at left tackle where he projects best at the next level. His family members include former NFL players LaAdrian Waddle and Sam Hurd, who are his cousins. Burford is an athletic offensive tackle with outstanding length. He has good temperament when blocking and is an aggressive player. As a run blocker, Burford shines when he can use his length, quickness, and power to find leverage points on defenders and widen lanes. When pass blocking, Burford’s length and foot speed shine as physically, he has everything necessary in his toolbox to excel. When it comes to areas of concern for Burford at the next level, it’s becoming more consistent with weight distribution and not getting his head out in front of his toes and eliminating balance issues while putting more trust in his anchor to absorb power. He also needs to find more consistency with reaching his set points and trusting his athleticism to stay square in true pass sets. He can still find more consistency with his punch timing and placement. Burford has the makeup of a starter in the NFL at offensive tackle in a zone-blocking scheme but that is likely a two-year projection as he adds functional strength and cleans up his technique.

Ideal Role: Developmental starting offensive tackle

Scheme Fit: Zone run scheme

FILM EVALUATION

Written by Joe Marino

Games watched: Illinois (2021), Western Kentucky (2021), UAB (2021), Western Kentucky CCG (2021)

Best Game Studied: Illinois (2021)

Worst Game Studied: UAB (2021)

Balance: Overall, Burford is a smooth operator and terrific athlete that controls himself well. With that said, his contact balance can be inconsistent due to a tendency to get top heavy, fold at the waist and have his weight out over his toes when engaged. He has the movement skills and length necessary to execute, he just needs to trust it with more consistency.

Pass Sets: Burford has the foot quickness and movement skills needed to consistently reach his set points. With that said, he can be overcommitted to shutting down the inside move and/or shutting down the outside track, which leads to some irregularity with his footwork. I want to see him trust his ability to slide, mirror and use his length which are all present traits. The UTSA offense only tasked him with a modest amount of actual true pass sets so there is a learning curve ahead for Burford.

Competitive Toughness: It’s easy to love Burford’s temperament and willingness to be physical. He brings the fight and gets after people in the run game with a consistent desire to finish. He loves to find leverage points and use angles to wash out defenders and pancake.

Lateral Mobility: Burford has springy footwork and he easily slides laterally. He can widen creases in outside zone runs and overall, he has terrific range as a blocker. His movement skills are easy and natural.

Length: Burford has long arms and he mostly knows how to use his length to his advantage, especially when pass blocking, where he plays with full extension to ride pass rushers beyond the peak of the pocket. HIs length is an asset in the run game where he can fit his hands, extend, and widen lanes. There are times where his hands can be tardy, which makes his length less of a weapon.

Football IQ: Burford is a four-year starter for the roadrunners and he’s generally committed to playing with good technique. There are instances on tape where his release to the second level in the run game can be early and he can be a touch tardy to respond to pressure packages and identifying inside threats to the quarterback. He isn’t immune to penalties but they haven’t been a major issue in college.

Hand Technique: Burford has some impressive moments of sound timing and placement with his hands but there is some inconsistency. He can be a touch late to activate his hands with some instances of wider strikes. His punch is efficient with good pop and he demonstrates good variance with his strikes.

Anchor Ability: Burford is a touch lean but my exposures did not reveal issues with pass rushers playing through him or having much success with the bull rush. With that said, I want to see him play with better weight distribution and be more willing to keep his weight back. His anchor will be challenged in new ways at the NFL, so shoring up his technique and adding functional strength is necessary.

Power at POA: Burford has good temperament when rolling his hips into contact and I love how he works to accelerate his feet. He has sufficient power at the point of attack but he needs to stay committed to adding more functional strength to make him even more impactful. At this point, he does not project well to a gap blocking scheme.

Versatility: Burford is a four-year starter with about half of his time being spent at left tackle and the other half at left guard. He does have some experience playing left tackle but only in a few games back in 2020. He has the length and mobility to play tackle in the NFL and projects best to a zone-blocking run scheme.

Seattle Seahawks Select:

DANNY GRAY - WR - SMU



Overview
Two-year starter on the FBS level with athleticism and play speed to project a continuing ascent at the next level. Gray stepped into a top playmaking role for SMU in 2021 and showed an ability to work all three levels of the field. His long, gliding strides separate from coverage on attack-oriented routes but he has the bend and agility to become a quality target working underneath. He needs to get a little stronger and limit the focus drops, but Gray has an inside/outside skill set with intriguing upside as a future WR3 with more work.
Strengths

• Explosive and loose-limbed with three-level ability.
• Sinks into soft spots of zone, making himself presentable.
• Bends and swipes for quick slip of press.
• Routes filled with athletic movements.
• Long, fluid strider in space.
• Maintains speed through turns and route stems.
• Relentless hand fighting as needed inside the route.
• Gains late separation to haul in contested deep throws.
• Plus catch-and-run talent.
• Makes effort to find positioning as blocker.
• Kick and punt return ability.

Weaknesses

• Below-average wingspan for NFL wideout.
• Needs additional play strength to battle bully corners.
• Disoriented finding football against physical coverage.
• Drifts through stems, allowing coverage to drive and contest.
• Focus drops pop up on in-breaking routes.
• Dropped would-be touchdowns passes in 2020 and 2021.
• Inconsistent vertical push on intermediate patterns.

 

[WellYouNeednt]

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS SELECT:

D’VONTE PRICE - RB - FIU





Height, weight, speed prospect with bell-cow size. However, Price lacks the consistency and skill level of an every-down runner. His upright, indecisive running style causes carries to end abruptly due to a lack of pad level and momentum. He runs with a narrow base and limited wiggle, which hinders his elusiveness. He does have impressive build-up speed to take runs to the house if linebackers miss their fun fit. He was hurt by inconsistent blocking and a scheme that might not be the best fit for him. Price needs it well-blocked and must play faster, but he has traits teams are willing to work with and develop.
Strengths

• Built like a big, box safety playing running back.
• Instinctive feet skip around traffic.
• Runaway speed for a big back.
• Multiple touchdowns of 65 or more yards over last 14 games.
• Flashed route-running potential out of the backfield.
• Size and strength to thud a blitzer.
• Displayed impressive special teams cover talent early in career.

Weaknesses

• Noticeable tightness through his lower half.
• Upright running style puts him on the wrong side of collisions.
• Missing burst and slither through tight quarters.
• Below-average change-of-direction quickness.
• Struggles to win short-yardage battles.
• Bogs down when forced to alter lane choice.
• Ball security might be a concern.

With the 154th pick in the 2022 NFL Mock Draft, sponsored by RCF, the Philadelphia Eagles select:

Cordale Flott - 6'1" - DB - LSU - Jr

Analysis

By Lance Zierlein
NFL Analyst
NFL Comparison
Rashard Robinson
Overview
Developmental cornerback with good speed and excellent length; he also needs to start hitting stacks of weights and pancakes. Getting Flott to fill out and grow into his frame should be the top priority for teams taking a chance on him. He plays the game fast and hard, but he hasn't been able to find a functional level of control and recognition in his coverage. He has inside/outside experience, but the length and speed make him a likely perimeter cornerback once he gets fully acclimated outside. The athletic upside is great, but it will be asking a lot of Flott to take on big targets, which could limit his overall ceiling.
Strengths

• Tall with long arms.
• Battles his tail off, play in and play out.
• Gains ground quickly from his backpedal.
• Easy hip swivel helps to transition in any direction.
• Runs well and makes up ground quickly from behind.
• Twitch and slap talent to disrupt the catch.
• Plays with good discipline in zone coverages.
• Active and willing to support the run from the slot.

Weaknesses

• Slinky, slender body type.
• Leggy and overresponsive to route fakes.
• Hasn't developed anticipation for route breaks.
• Gets bullied at the top of the route by size.
• Allows too much separation from routes.
• Doesn't play with consistent body control in space.
• Stays glued to perimeter blockers giving effort.
• Below-average tackle strength.

Damone Clark LB LSU

DAMONE CLARK ILB LSU
NFL DRAFT PROFILE & SCOUTING REPORT​

40 TIME: 4.57 SECONDS

HEIGHT: 6-3 WEIGHT: 245

HANDS: 9 7/8 ARMS: 32 7/8 SPAN: 78 1/8

DATE OF BIRTH: 06/28/2000 AGE: 21.9

DRAFT PROFILE: BIO​

Damone Clark was known as a hard-hitting linebacker who was part of two state title teams during his career. He was rated as a four-star prospect by 247Sports and Rivals and rated as the No. 7 player in the state of Louisiana and the No. 18 inside linebacker nationally by Rivals. Clark was offered a scholarship from LSU which was an easy option for him to accept as he's from Baton Rouge.

After playing little as a freshman in 2018 Clark saw action in all 15 games, starting three times, and was the full-time starter at outside linebacker in LSU’s base defensive package. He finished sixth on the team in tackles with 50 and added 4.0 tackles for loss with 3.5 sacks.

As a junior in 2020, he appeared in all 10 games, starting five times. Calrk tied for the team lead in tackles with 63 and added 4.0 tackles for 18 yards in losses along with a sack for a 10-yard loss.

Clark took a major step up in 2021 as a senior as he led the SEC and ranked No. 2 in the nation in both tackles (135) and tackles per game (11.2). He also added 6 sacks and 23 total QB pressures. He also vastly improved his coverage production - where on 48 targets only allowed a 75.4 QB rating when targeted. At season's end, he received a Second-team All-America spot from both Walter Camp and Sporting News and finished as a finalist for the Dick Butkus Award.

SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS​

• Great athlete. Shows a natural feel for pass rushing. Very good lateral agility to shake pass blockers.
• Made Bruce Feldman's Freaks -- "clocked a 4.50 in the 40 and benched 405 pounds while weighing 245 pounds. He’s down to 241 but has added more than 20 pounds on his power clean to 374 and upped his squat to 605. His body fat is down to 10 percent.
• More than backed up prior athletic expectations with a major combine win. Ran a 4.57 40, had a 35.5 vertical and a 127 broad jump
• Flashes closing speed and agility to reach passers from the blind side or up the middle before they can escape.
• Good quickness to attack ballcarriers when playing near the line. Breaks down and wraps legs to make the stop.
• Looks the part with a strong, long frame with good arm length. Fluid and flexible athlete with agile footwork and explosive get-off quickness.
• Plays fast, flows with the action, showing smooth lateral agility and short-area burst. Has good instincts and awareness to quickly find the ball.
• Shows the closing burst and footwork to work well in tight areas.
• Very hard hitter and equally adept at tackling. Had a massive 46 total stops in 2021 where he was incredible while playing in the box
• Has improved significantly in 2021 - as a coverage backer. He now exhibits coverage skills akin to a safety after struggling early on in his career
• Shows toughness to get under the pads of tackles to bull them, club them upfield to get the inside lane, or fight through blocks for the secondary rush when the passer steps up.
• Ferocious against the run and very good in coverage - is extremely versatile

SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES​

• His lateral agility and burst often put him in a position to make big plays, but he takes questionable routes to the ball and struggles to avoid blockers when in pursuit.
• Limited vision and is a little erratic - well have a great game followed by a very average one
• Not great at shedding blocks - can get bogged down in the action and vanish from the play
• Has consistently had problems dealing with misdirection and counters and bites too often
• Easily succumbs to play fakes and head fakes and doesn't have a natural instinct for all the nuances game
• Prior to 2021 was only average in coverage despite having impressive speed

SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY​

Damone Clark is a promising pro prospect, who has some immense upside. He's got the ideal size for a middle linebacker, is strong, has elite speed, and is an overall elite athletic talent who put up massive numbers in 2021 while playing against top-level opposition in the SEC. Our only major complaint about Clark is he isn't consistent, not only from game to game but season to season - and until 2021 he was an underwhelming player who underachieved given his outstanding athletic talent.

Despite only having just a single year of elite play (in 2021) we consider Clark to be a quality prospect who will likely become a pro starter early in his career and as a result, expect for him to hear his name called in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

He is out cause of a back surgery in 22, but this a great time to try and draft one with day two talent who may miss a season... He had a solid combine even though he was due to get the surgery...

I believe it's @BimboColesHair who is up since he is the sub for @MGMT I believe...

Then it's @kriegs With the his kittens

Then I have no clue who has the dolphins... lol

Vikings take with the 156th pick:

JT Woods, S, Baylor


Overview:

Long-levered safety with excellent top-end speed and the potential to become a rangy playmaker if he can learn to play with better overall discipline. Woods has too many busted assignments to be trusted in single-high alignments at this time, but offers teams the coverage versatility to be deployed in a variety of spots. If he can play with better decisiveness, he has the length, burst and striking power to impact catch tries and take the ball away. Woods' tools are likely to make him a Day 2 pick, but he'll need to prove that his run support and tackle finishing are on a functional level for the pro game.

Why:

Vikings have 0 depth at safety with Xavier Woods walking. The defensive rebuild through the draft continues.

Vikings Picks:

12. Derek Stingley Jr, CB
46. Quay Walker, LB
77. Kingsley Enagbare, EDGE
156. JT Woods, S

With the 157th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select...​

Bo Melton - WR - Rutgers​

PFF Big Board Rank: 182
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 189
Class: Sr.
Age: 22.9

Scouting Report (via The Draft Network)​

Rutgers wide receiver Bo Melton projects as a possible specialist at the NFL level and appears to offer some upside as a depth presence in an NFL wide receiver room. Melton has posted consecutive 600+ yard receiving seasons for the Scarlet Knights over the last two seasons and has been someone who has been a priority to create manufactured touches for across that stretch of time. Melton has good initial quickness and acceleration and has flashed effective open-field vision in the quick game when he’s been able to successfully complete receptions underneath to find pathways for added yardage. A multi-year team captain with more than 40 starts in his career, Melton was named the 2021 MVP on offense and was the team leader in all-purpose yardage across touches as a receiver, rusher, and on both punt and kick returns. Rutgers football has been a family affair, as his brother Max is also on the team currently and their father, Gary, played for the Scarlet Knights from 1987-1991. Look for Melton in the late rounds as a team looks to secure a potential return specialist with upside to develop further into a receiver who could dress on gameday with time and patience.

Ideal role: Depth receiver, gadget player, and return specialist

Scheme tendencies: High volume of 11-personnel, spread offense

Career Stats (via PFF)​

	2021	2020	2019
Overall Grade	76.8	76.0	66.8
Games Played	11	9	12
Pass Snaps	293	330	272

Targ	91	74	48
Yards	642	640	427
Yards/Rec	11.5	13.6	14.2
TD	3	6	2

Rationale​

In this scenario, Laviska Shenault was traded to Buffalo, so the Jaguars' receiver room consists of Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones, Zay Jones, Laquon Treadwell, and Jamal Agnew. It's one of the biggest needs we haven't addressed yet.

Bo Melton is the best receiver left on the board, with the potential to be a starting slot receiver in the NFL. Worst case, the Jaguars added a productive special teams player in the 5th round, but I believe Melton has the potential to be much more than that and am excited to draft him this late.

With the 158th overall pick in the RCF 2022 Mock Draft, the Miami Dolphins select...

​

TYLER ALLGEIER RB | BYU​

via Dane Brugler

STRENGTHS: Big-boned frame with a solid build … runs with athletic steps/moves, and his eyes and feet are tied together with strings … quick to read his blocks, press the hole and make timely cuts … patient but decisive runner with minimal wasted motion (and won’t run up the back of his blockers) … has the contact balance and heavy pads to squeeze through slivers of daylight between the tackles …

picks up steam once he gets going with better-than-expected second-level speed … 33.8% of his carries in 2021 resulted in a first down or touchdown … reliable screen/check-down option with excellent focus and body control as a pass catcher … effective lead blocker on quarterback runs and stayed alert in pass protection to locate and put his shoulder in the blitzer’s belly …

humble by nature and earned his success by outworking everyone with his “nothing is given” attitude … didn’t complain when the coaches moved him to linebacker for most of the 2019 season (26 tackles) … durable and handled a full workload in 2021 while avoiding injury … highly productive 2021 season and finished tied for No. 1 nationally in rushing touchdowns (23) and was one of only four players to reach 1,600 rushing yards to set a BYU single-season record … needed only two seasons to rank top-five in school history in several career categories, including rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.

WEAKNESSES: Not a burst runner, with only average perimeter speed … his ordinary wiggle is a result of his tight hips and inconsistent pad level … his broken tackles are usually because of force rather than avoiding defenders … runs physical but would benefit from exploding into contact more … can get caught leaning in pass protection, giving rushers a chance to make a move … fumbled six times in college, including four times in 2021 …

found himself contained against the top two rundefending teams on the 2021 schedule, averaging just 3.2 yards per carry (42/135/1) vs. Baylor and Utah … only one season (2019) of special teams experience. SUMMARY: A two-year starter at BYU, Allgeier grew into a bell-cow role in first-year offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick’s balanced attack. Over the past two seasons (24 games), he averaged 113.8 rushing yards and 1.5 rushing touchdowns per game (best in the nation over that span) and finished his career with a 6.4 yards-per-carry average (BYU record).

A decisive ball carrier, Allgeier shows a lot of the ancillary traits necessary to be productive at the next level and competes with the attitude and determination of a former walk-on (see his chase-down forced fumble on 2021 Arizona State tape). Although he isn’t overly elusive, he runs through arm tackles with his body strength and contact balance (70.9% of his yardage in 2021 came after initial contact).

Overall, Allgeier isn’t an explosive runner, but he runs with an instinctive feel and quick feet for a bigger ball carrier and shows the passing game potential to be an every-down NFL back. He reminds me of Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner.


Why? The Miami Dolphins, despite adding two free agent running backs this offseason (Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert on short term deals) are continuing to look at draft prospects at the position. They met with Georgia running back James Cook and LSU running back Tyrion Davis-Price. After adding to their offensive line and linebacker depth with their earlier picks, they decide to go with Davis-Price in the 5th round. With Mostert dealing with injuries throughout his career, it’s far from a guarantee that he’ll be able to contribute for all 17 games. Even if Mostert were able to play all year, he’s only under contract for 2022.
