Quincy Roche

Love this Pick!

 

As I said already; Top 100 player for me. Getting him in the sixth was highway robbery. Look for him to challenge Cassius Marsh right away.

 

Why did he drop so far? I saw his 40 was not impressive.

 

Scheme limited I believe. That said, if that is really the case, shouldn't Azeez Ojulari have face plated stock wise then too? Yes, not going in the First Round was a bit odd but he did not slip into the fourth though.

 

I have decided I am not falling for any of this hype until I see all of them perform against NFL players and not in a preseason game.

I hope they all turn out to be better than expected but I don't think every other team let a top 100 player drop 116 positions.

The first test of a draft year is how many make it out of training camp.

First two rds should contribute in the first year, 3rd and 4th special teams or developmental future starters and after that its a crap shoot.

 

Depends on if he is quick not so much fast.

I remember years ago Bum Phillips went to the combine, or whatever at the time. He had defensive linemen running 7 yard dashes. Someone asked why? He said “ If my defensive linemen have to run more than 7 yards, I have bigger problems”.

 

He has filled a need. Hopefully he makes the 53...

 

It will come down to him learning the playbook and what he can do in coverage.

He can come off the edge. When I was watching the oline drills in mobile he was abusing the OTs with his speed rush. Quick first step and good shoulder dip... but did not see much bull rush.

But pure pass rusher... love this pick

HACK

 

I didn't even see we got him. Cool.

 

The punter they took in round 7 can challenge Cassius Marsh

 

it’s all a crap shoot really.

 

I may be mistaken but his 40 was the same as TJ and Alex. He may not be as athletic, but his straight speed was one of his plusses (or so I thought).

 

I found this.....but don’t know how it stacks up to TJ and Alex.....

 

I know people will laugh, but this is surprisingly one of my favorite picks, and I didn't even know we drafted him.
Also his 40 time is better than TJ. , of course that means nothing.

 

Watts combine 40 time was 4.69, Alex was 4.68..this guy is faster lol.But as stated his athletic ability may not be on par with them.

 

He is probably going to have to get a little stronger, but it is hard not to love how he gets after the passer.

 

look at his cone drill time. If it is more than .2 faster than his 40 than he is quick and explosive.

 

Goes to show you that combine numbers are pretty much meaningless.

 

Some of the highlights they were showing on the draft coverage showed him shedding blocks off the edge to get the RB also.


He is a real exciting prospect.

 

Might need to get stronger, but most guys do. Highsmith said as much after the season as well.

Only thing I don't really like is he seems to want to grab and throw on some tackles. He's going to need to wrap up a little better in the pros. There's some guys in the division that would shrug some of those tackles off.

 

As an added bonus, Quincy Roche (at least as of yesterday) does NOT have a twitter account.

 

Keep him away from JuJu and Claypool

 

I'm hoping Roche beats out Marsh for the #3 OLB position.

 

More to the combine than 40 times.
