Wasn't sure if 19 is too rich but nice scheme fit I like Floyd as an edge guy that can cover, but I think he's a part-time player until he bulks up a bit. Who knows how he'll weigh-in this week, but supposedly he played below 230 lbs last season, and it shows. He doesn't set the edge well, and he stalls out rushing the passer when he can't win with quickness. I'm not totally against taking him at 19, but if my choice is between Floyd and a full-time player in year 1 (say, D. Lee or S. Rankins,, who are both available in Joe B's mock), I'm going the other direction.

Are those the types of guys that you would compare him too? Admittedly, I haven't focused on him too much throughout the process. He felt to me like a guy that would be a reach at 19 and would probably be gone by the 2nd.

I see him as a part-time situational pass rusher in year 1.

Maybin is probably a bit too harsh, while Irvin--I think--turned out to be a better player than Floyd looks like to me. I'd say he's got a very similar body type to Maybin, but is a more fluid athlete with better football instincts.

Mingo was another guy that came to my mind and I hated him as a prospect. Guys that have gotten by on just their athleticism are terrifying.

Mingo might be closest in style of play--I didn't go there because Mingo was a physical specimen, whereas Floyd has a really lanky body

That's who comes to mind when I think lanky edge rushers, though Morgan had about 25 lbs on Floyd.
Kirby Jackson Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) The more you guys talk about Floyd the less appealing he is. BTW, Hokie that mock draft in your signature would be fantastic. Edited February 23, 2016 by Kirby Jackson

I just think that he'll need time to bulk up, which is incredibly difficult to do given the pace at which he'll be going over the next 12 months with the combine, private workouts, rookie camps, OTAs, minicamps, TC, and then the season. He's the kind of guy that, to me, is a part-time player in year 1 that has the potential to make a big leap in his first full NFL offseason.

I would take Joshua Perry in the second round over Floyd in the first. That might be a bigger reach than they made for EJ Manuel. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Kiper's mock is an absolute disaster. He has them taking Dodd when Ragland, Lee, Jack, Robinson all still on the board. Just atrocious.

Definitely not on the board at 19.

Some people think he's a top-10 pick. Some people think he's Barkevious Mingo.
