We often hear NFL teams have a big board stacking draft prospects and then a separate ranking for quarterbacks. DianteLeeFB tries the exercise with premium defensive positions: edge rusher and cornerback.
Witherspoon closes out the top tier of premium position defenders. His impressive physicality and feel for the game will translate directly to the next level.
Witherspoon’s instincts and explosive breaks on the ball are why he’s so effective playing in off coverage, and that will be an essential tool against pro-style offenses using condensed splits and tight formations. Witherspoon is the best tackler at his position in this class, finishes on the ball as well as any prospect and is passable when pressing at the line of scrimmage.
This particular draft is interesting for many reasons, but a primary one is that the delineation of tiers is so clear across every position. I’m comfortable saying only a handful of blue-chip prospects are at the premium defensive positions, but there’s also a surplus of prospects who can turn into positive contributors during their first two NFL seasons.and Lukas Van Ness, for example, exist on opposite ends of the floor/ceiling conversation, but each player has his selling points.
What he brings to the table, however, has proved successful in every era of football. Murphy has a special first step and converts speed to power as well as any prospect. Teams looking for immediate impact from a secondary rusher on the edge would be wise to target Murphy. Against, Murphy’s pair of sacks were exactly what you’re looking for from your No.
