2020 Free Agency Preview: Part 2

subsequent coaching staff alterations. Plus Flores proposes a rule change to the competition committee. What that tells us about him? And finally, finally we've got compensatory picks. The Dolphins fourteen picks are now tangible. We'll get into those picks and how the Dolphins got to this war chest of draft picks, and will jump back into free agency with five under the radar players from Charlie Casserley as well as players number sixty on through eight on Pro Football Focuses list

of the top one three agents available this March. All of that and more on this Wednesday, March eleventh edition of the Drive Time Podcast, and we start today's podcast with coaching news as Miami had one more position to fill after the vacancy left by Carl Durrell taking the head coaching job at the University of Colorado, And if you didn't catch that a couple of weeks ago on the podcast, and Flores talked in Indianapolis about the loss of coach Durrell going to a Power five program to

be a head coach, but he also lamented the fact that Durrell absolutely deserved that honor and that distinction to earn a head coaching job in the college ranks and said he wants to empower his coaches to always be able to take that next step to the next level and better their selves and their careers in the coaching industry. So with Darrell's departure, we have a new receiver's coach

and the Dolphins elect to promote from within. Assistant wide receivers coach Josh Grizzard will now become the head of the wide receiver's room as he enters his fourth year with the Miami Dolphins. He got here back in seventeen as offensive quality control and was recently promoted to that

assistant wide receivers coach. Prior to Darrell's departure and this higher This promotion is not unique to the Dolphins coaching staff because Grizzard his college resume includes plenty of work with highly touted draft picks and versatile options about the coaching staff, whether it's working with quarterbacks or wide receivers on the offensive staff, assisting in game day decisions and

game planning. He did plenty of that on Duke's staff as a graduate assistant and quality control coach from through but he primarily worked with quarterbacks and had two seasons with number six overall pick in the twenty nineteen draft, Daniel Jones, So he worked on developing Jones during his

red shirt season and his red shirt freshman season. Prior to Jones arriving, he worked with quarterback Thomas Sirk, who became just the third a C C quarterback to throw for better than yards and rush for more than eight hundred yards. Grizzard worked at Duke, one of the biggest prestigious programs in terms of academia on the college landscape as far as the college he attended as a student was Yale in the IVY League. So this guy clearly has the smarts required to be a coach on Brian

flores staff. Teaching, smart, tough, determined, hard worker. We had great endorsements from Davon god Shaw and DeVante Parker. Parker obviously breaking out last season with twelve two yards, which was fifth in the National Football League and nine touchdown catches,

ranking fourth in the NFL. He had positive praise for Josh Grizzard and this promotion to receiver's coach, and Devon Godshaw went even further on that a defensive lineman praising the receiver's coach, talking about how he worked his rear end off to get himself into this position. So smart, teaching, work, ethic, all those things aligned with all these coaches under Brian Flores.

He obviously has a type and those guys have to be able to work just as hard as Brian Flores has throughout the course of his career to get in this position. To round out the coaching staff, and in the absence of Carl Darrell, the Dolphins will not name an assistant head coach under Brian Flora's but they will, however, promote special teams coordinator Danny Crossman and tight ends coach George Gatzie into more increased duties, including heavy involvement in

game management as well as throughout the week. The game day management stuff comes down to challenges, time outs, helping Flora's manage the substitution packages, everything that happens on a game day. Flora's will have his contingency there to help him in Danny Croftsman as well as George Godzi, and they also will be involved throughout the week and establishing game plans and assisting Flora's anyway they see fit for the head coach. A couple of quick notes on Crossman

and Godzi. Crossman's unit last year converted several trick plays as we all saw, including Mountaineer shoot a touchdown past thrown by punter Matt Hawk to kicker Jason Sanders, and that touchdown was named the NFL's bridge Stone Play of

the Year. For the nineteen season. Under Godzi, we saw Mike Gasicki enjoy his breakout sophomore campaign in which he ranked twelve among tight ends in both receiving yards receptions with five hundred and seventy yards and fifty one receptions, and he was fifth and touchdowns among tight ends with five, including this one against the Patriots. It's trip down my GASSICKI. Well, the stadium got real quiet, real quick. GASICKI lined up to the right, all three receivers out to the left.

Bryan Fitzpatrick plants it and fires it. He just works through the outside, does a little stick somethan can't get his left arm in there to knock it away. I can't say enough without the way Ryan Fitzpatrick has stayed today. He stayed in there taking heat all day. With the hits he's taken. Continue to fire away over yards passed. Now, maybe that went on a little bit too long, but I wanted to let that sound marinate there because hearing Gillette Stadium, That's island is a thing of beauty for

Dolphins fans. Fitzpatrick tookasiki for the game winner in Week seventeen to beat the Patriots at seventeen and a half point underdogs, the biggest spread differential in thirty years in the NFL, and the Dolphins came out victorious that day at Gillette Stadium. The best part of that clip you watch the video, Brian Flores is over there clapping and high fiving and given fist bumps, huge smile across his face. You love seeing that from coaching his rookie year getting

that signature whim in year number one. Other Dolphins news from Tuesday. Seven rule changes were submitted to the Competition Committee on Tuesday. The Dolphins were authors of one of those proposed rule changes. First from the Philadelphia Eagles. They want to modify the blindside block rule to prevent unnecessary fouls. They want to make permanent the expansion of automatic replay reviews to include scoring plays and turnovers negated by a foul,

and any successful or unsuccessful try attempt. They'd like to provide an alternative to onside kicks that would allow a team who was trailing in the game with an opportunity to maintain possession of the football after scoring. It's the old fourth and fifteen from the kicking team's own twenty five. You have to convert or you turn it back over

deep in your own territory. They also want to restore the preseason and regular season overtime to fifteen minutes and implement rules to minimize the impact of the overtime coin toss. The Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers together submitted the idea to add a booth umpire as an eighth game official to the officiating crew, and they also want to add a senior technology advisor to the referee to assist the officiating crew. Now, the Dolphins rule proposal is very

much a game day management, a very situationally aware. Understand the parameters of the scoreboard, the down and distance, all that stuff on every single play. That's how you get smart players that make good decisions within the situation of the game. The rules this provide the option to the defense for the game clock to start on the referee signal if the defense declines an offensive penalty that occurs

late in either half. So if the offense is trying to mount a comeback and let's say the quarterback takes a sack and there's a holding call, they would stop the clock in that situation, even though the defense declines the holding and accepts the sack as the result of the play. So Miami is proposing a change and they wants the clock to keep winding and provide the defense with the proper advantage it earned by making a play

in accordance with the offensive penalty. So when we find out about the acceptance or rejection of those rules, will have you covered here on the Drive Time podcast, and a new development across the league today, the NFL announced the thirty two compensatory picks that were awarded two teams across the NFL, and the Dolphins were a beneficiary of two additional selections. A couple of teams got four, several teams got three, the Dolphins and Ravens got two picks,

and a few other teams got one pick. In the compensatory formula. The Dolphins pick up by fourth and seventh round draft pick in accordance with the departures of Juwan James and Brandon Bolden slash Frank Gore last offseason. That brings the club's total to a league high fourteen selections

this year. I want to run down the Dolphins draft picks with you, as we do have official placement of those draft picks now from the league office, and we'll have an article up on Miami Dolphins dot com covering all this information and detail about the Dolphins draft picks.

And we start in the first round, where the Dolphins have possession of three draft picks, their own number five overall, the organic draft pick in accordance with Miami's finish in twenty nineteen, the eighteenth pick as part of the Mega Fitzpatrick trade and the third pick in the first round being number twenty six overall from the Houston Texans and the Laramie Tunsel and Kenny Stills trades. In the second round, the Dolphins on the thirty ninth pick that is their own.

They also have a New Orleans draft pick, number fifty six overall, and that came from the twenty nineteen Draft day trade down in the second round last season. The third round, the Dolphins have one pick, number seventy overall. In the fourth round, the compensatory pick for Juwan James comes in here. That pick checks in at number one

forty one overall. The Dolphins have three draft choices in the fifth round, number one fifty three overall from the Pittsburgh Steelers and that was part of the late round draft picks swap. There in accordance with at trade, we also have the one hundred and fifty fourth overall pick, so back to back picks there in the fifth round, This one comes from the l A. Rams and the

akeep to Leave trade. The Dolphins also have one seventy three overall in the fifth round as part of the Kenyan Drake trade with the Arizona Cardinals in the sixth round. The Dolphins make one draft pick, number one eight five overall, and they'll have three picks in the seventh round, number two twenty seven overall, number two forty six overall, and

number two fifty one overall. Those all aligned with Robert Quinn trades, the Jordan Lucas trade from eighteen in September finally comes home to roost here in twenty and a compensatory draft pick for Brandon Bolden and Frank Gore's departures last off season. So it's fourteen picks in total. The Dolphins have three in the first round, two in the second, one in the third, one in the fourth, three picks in the fifth round, one in the sixth, and three

picks in the seventh round. A lot to account for, as many of these picks have traded hands multiple times. A pair of September first trades an acquisition of Danny Isadora and Evan Bam last season, and saw late round picks exchanged. The East of Dora trade sent a seventh round pick to Minnesota, while the Dolphins and Colts made a trade of conditional picks in the sixth and seventh rounds for the offensive lineman in Evan Bam. There were multiple mid round picks exchanged as part of those two

Markeee trades made with both Houston and Pittsburgh. First, the Tunzel and Stills trade brought back two first round picks, a second round pick an offensive tackle Julian Davenport. Also part of that trade, we sent our own fourth round pick in twenty twenty and a sixth round pick next year to Houston in one. The Minka Fitzpatrick trade in addition to the eighteenth pick this year in twenty twenties draft, also brought back a round pick and one sixth round

draft pick. The Dolphins sent over with the safety a fourth round pick this year and a seventh round pick in one to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ryan Tannehill was a trade to the Titans last offseason. Right around this time of year. The Dolphins sent Tannehill and a twenty nineteen sixth round draft choice to the Titans. In return, Miami got a seventh round draft pick last season and round pick in this year's draft, but that pick was sent

off in the Minca Fitzpatrick trade over to Pittsburgh. The Dolphins also get a fifth round draft pick in accordance with the Kenyan Drake trade that sent him over to Arizona at last year's deadline, giving Miami a total of fourteen draft picks this year. We're sitting on nine draft picks next year. And if the compensatory formula confuses something out there, it's a pretty simple process. It essentially accounts for what goes out from your team as far as

assets and what comes in. So if you lose more players than you gain in terms of free agent contract value, that awards compensatory picks to the team. So it's the teams that are inactive in free agency and lose players to get the comp pics. I'll get you updated on the exact order of those picks on an article up on Miami Dolphins dot com, as well as tomorrow's Drivetime podcast, which will also feature a dive into free agency and contracts and how the deals are done. You don't want

to miss that podcast. And speaking of how free agency is done, let's jump now back into part two of our free agency preview. Here on the Drivetime podcast, we went over players eighty one through one hundred on Pro Football focuses list of the top one hundred available free agents this offseason. Today, we're gonna talk about player sixty one through eighty. But first, Charlie castro Ley, friend of the Drive Time podcast, went on the NFL Network and

talked about his five under the radar free agents. So let's go ahead and go over those real quick, and Charlie stayed in the trenches, listing an offensive lineman, four defensive players in the front seven, with three on the defensive line, and one linebacker. We start with the tackle from the Seahawks, George Fan, and he's an interesting player because he was a college hooper, super athletic, but he is also a massive, massive human being at six ft five,

three hundred and thirty pounds. He's really been playing football for less amount of time than I've been doing the whole podcast thing, just four or five years now, and he was a backup in Seattle for the most part, but he got plenty of playing time because of some injuries to the tackles on that offensive line, whether it was Dwayne Brown or Jermaine Effetti. But he played swing tackle left right side. Gives you an agnostic presence in

that way. But he also played plenty of heavy packages as the sixth offensive lineman coming into the game, so he gives you experience, he gives you flexibility on either side of the offensive line, and he can blow people off the football as the sixth offensive lineman in the game. We'll see what kind of contract he gets, but he's not gonna be in that tier. One of the tackles at the top of the class, like the Jack Conklin's of the world. Number two was DJ Reader, a defensive

tackle from the Houston Texans. This dude defines a space eater three seven pounds. Put him up over the nose. He can just PLoP in there and hold up the point of attack and free up your linebackers. He's also a super high motor, super high effort guy that wins with that quite a few times. Javon Hargrave also on their defensive linem from the Pittsburgh Steelers. This guy is a damn good football player. He has position flexibility, can play the nose, can play all the way out to

the five tech, and everything in between. Great pass rusher, consistently productive, thick built lower half, smooth feet that are tiger than you would expect from a guy that size. He can stunt, twist and slant from those variable positions. He can play across the defensive line. We stay on the defensive line and go to the Saints for David anya Mata. He's a rotational player the last couple of years, but really shined kind of like George Fan when he

got his chances to play because of injuries. Ridiculous ridiculous power from on your Mata. Finally, Bud Dupree eleven and a half sacks. I'm not sure I would call him and under the radar guy because he was a first round pick and has the production to go along with

that first round draft pick. He's a built in a lab type of player, height, weight, speed, explosiveness, really good edge rusher off the outside part, and he probably plays more of a traditional linebacker role in a two point stance on the ball on the edge as your linebacker

out there. So fan reader, Hargrave, on your Mata and Dupree round out cast release five under the Radar free agents he talked about on Tuesday on NFL Network, and now we shift our focus back to the list from yesterday's podcast, taking a look at players one through one hundred on Pro Football Focus, his top one hundred free agents available this coming off season just one week away. We're getting there. The new league year is almost here, Almost time for football once again, ahead of the actual

football on the field. We start with number eighty linebacker Josh Bines. He was once an undrafted free agent of the Baltimore Ravens back in tleven and he's made the most of his career and his opportunities. He's played for three different organizations, with two stints in Baltimore, the first two years of his career there with the Ravens, and then last season resigning with the Ravens, where he had five total pressures, one sack, one hit, and three hurries.

He only played forty two pass rushed down so more of a coverage linebacker in that regard. In fact, he only has two hundred and eighty seven pass rush reps in his career, seventeen oh one coverage snaps and fifteen thirty six run defense snaps, so that's kind of his game. You take a look at his run defense grades on Pro Football Focus in the green every single year, and if you didn't hear yesterday's podcast, first go back and

check it out. But also the green category means you're playing above average starter at that particular role at your particular position, So Josh Bonds gets it done in the running game. Twenty one run stops last year, thirty four the year prior. Had forty three run stops in twenty fifteen, his best year as a pro, when he played eight

hundred and nineteen snaps with the Lions. Number seventy nine on Pro Football Focus this list of the top one hundred free agents is former Bengals defensive lineman Andrew Billings, a fourth round draft pick in twenty sixteen out of Baylor, and his production last year was nineteen pressures. Fourteen of those were hurries. He had twenty four pressures of the year prior. He's played six hundred and fifty seven snaps last year, six thirty two the season before, with the

majority of that coming on the interior defensive line. Number seventy eight on this list. A familiar name we just talked about him, David Anyamato from the Saints. He was a Canada product, a fourth round pick out of Manitoba, six ft four, three hundred pounds, and he gets it done in the running game as well. He made twenty run stops on just two hundred and six run down plays on that Saints defense, so about ten percent run stop percentage. And again, and run stops are tackles within

two yards of the line of scrimmage. He also had thirty seven pressures in ten thirty one last year and thirty one in seventeen, so a pretty well rounded player that rushes the passer and plays the run. There for the Saints. You can see why Charlie cast really liked his game as an under the radar free agent number seventy seven on the defensive line as well. A lot of these players on the defensive line. Timmy Journe, again from Philadelphia. He was second round pick of the Philadelphia

Eagles six ft two to roughly giver take. He hasn't played nearly as many snaps last two seasons with the Eagles. He was a big snap getter early on with the Ravens where he was drafted, and then twenty seventeen as a free agent acquisition of the Eagles. He had green and blue grades across the board those couple of years, where he had twenty four total pressures in seventeen as well, as seventeen run stops, and he really won with quickness

and size, a good height, weight speed combination. Four Timmy Journ again played six hundred thirty one snaps in five hundred eighty six snaps in seen, but just one hundred and three hundred and six snaps last season with the Eagles. Number seventy six is a fun player from the Baltimore Ravens, Matthew Judean. He was a fifth round draft pick of the Ravens back in sixteen and really helped the Ravens linebackers carry the water last year after they lost c. J.

Mosley and Zadarius Smith in free agency. Judon had a bunch of pressures last year, sixty three pressures, ten sacks, hits, quarterback hurries. He did that on four hundred and fifty pass rush snaps. So a really really productive pass rusher off the edge in that Ravens defense, which is multiple in terms of how many even in odd fronts they play coming off the edge as an on ball linebacker, but also playing in those A and B gaps as an interior rusher in that Ravens defense. Number seventy five

is another linebacker, Nick Kwatowski, from the Chicago Bears. He was a fourth round draft pick of the Bears. He's six ft two, two hundred and forty two pounds. He ran a four point seven three forty yard dash at the combine. He had a really big breakout season last year for the bear Is, playing his highest snap count at five hundred and twelve snaps. He had thirteen pressures on just thirty nine pass rush reps, so he was successful, though the Bears did not ask him to rush the

quarterback all that often. He played two hundred and eighty two coverage snaps and one run defense snaps, and he was pretty much just good across the board. Had a very high pass rush grade because of the frequency with which you got out for the quarterback. He also checked the green boxes and coverage and run defense as well. Number seventy five on this list. Check that number seventy four is Ronald Darby of the Philadelphia Eagles. He was a second round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills. He's

five eleven one. He can flat out run. Ran at four point three forty at his combine back in, but he had some really good grades for the Bills early on in his career, including a rookie season where he graded out in the green seventy six point sixth grade on Pro Football Focus. Last year, played five hundred and six snaps, and he allows a career reception percentage of just fifty eight percent completion when quarterbacks target him in coverage.

And of his five five hundred and six snaps on defense last year, four sixty one were out wide as a perimeter corner, so he's a guy to play on the outside, not likely to kick inside as a slot corner, where he played just eight snaps last season. Number seventy three on Pro football focus dot COM's Top one hundred free agents to be next week as a new league year kicks off. Graham Glasgow I center and guard from Detroit. He was a third round draft pick and he plays

a lot of different positions across the offensive line. He didn't allow any sacks last year for the Lions, only committed three foul so he is pretty clean across the board in pass protection and the penalty game. And he has been consistent and durable and reliable the last four years, really playing eight hundred and seventy two snaps last year. The year prior to that, one thousand seventy six the year prior one thousand, forty two and his rookie year

played seven hundred and fifty eight snaps. The last three years, his offensive grade, pass blocking grade, and run blocking grades are all in the green on Pro Football Focus. Checking in at number seventy two on the Pro Football Focus Top one hundred free agents list is wide receiver Randall Cobb. He played last year with the Dallas Cowboys. Came out of Kentucky as the Green Bay Packer second round draft pick in eleven. He has produced pretty consistently throughout his

career in the NFL. Last year, had fifty five catches, which was a seventy catch rate, eight hundred and twenty eight yards, and he scored three touchdowns for the Cowboy offense. Number seventy one on this list. As Buffalo edge shack Lawson a first round draft pick back in sixteen, and he really had a breakout season last year for the Buffalo Bills, having the most pressures of his career as

well as run stops. He had forty total pressures, seven sacks, fourteen hits, and nineteen hurries, made twenty five run stops in that department, only played five hundred and twenty snaps, but he was efficient across the board on run defense as well as rushing the quarterback for the Bills defense

last season. Number seventy on the list as safety. Adrian Phillips, formerly of the Los Angeles Chargers, was an undrafted free agent out of Texas back in He's five eleven two hundred ten ounds, and he has the highest overall grade of the players we've discussed so far through the top

sixty five or so players on this list. He played just two hundred eighty two snaps last year, but earned an overall defensive grade from Pro Football Focus of eighty seven point five due in large part to his run defense. Playing run defense, downs had eight run stops on those plays, he made twenty six total tackles, He had one quarterback pressure a hurry on four pass rush reps, and he

also played a hundred and eighty reps in coverage. The year prior to that with the Chargers, he played on eight hundred and three snaps on defense and made sixty five tackles and allowed completion percentage of just fifty six point seven on balls targeted in his direction. Nelson Aguilar's next on the list at number sixty nine of the Philadelphia Eagles. Six ft tall one blazes the forty time at four point four two back in, earning him the right to be a first round draft pick of the Eagles,

number twenty overall that year. Last year, he caught thirty nine balls for three hundred and sixty three yards and scored three touchdowns. Breakout season was seventeen ranking green across the board on Pro Football Focus, with nine hundred and thirty five yards on seventy seven catches, eight of those going for touchdowns back in that Super Bowl year for the Philadelphia Eagles. Number sixty eight is cornerback Jimmy Smith

of the Baltimore Ravens. Really good player out of Colorado, first round draft picks, six ft two, two ten pounds, plays physical, loves to play that press style on the outside out there. He's gonna be thirty two when the season starts, but he has a career full of production there in Baltimore, with fifteen career picks compared to just seventeen touchdown catches allowed and just a fifty seven point one career completion percentage on passes thrown into his coverage area.

With a career best last year at actually checked that he was a smidge under that his rookie season at forty eight point six percent, so two seasons under fifty. Several seasons on this list right around in terms of completion percentage on balls thrown into his area. Up next, another cornerback on this Pro Football Focus Top one hundred free agent list, number sixty seven. Eli Apple was the tenth pick in the draft back in sixteen of the

New York Giants. Was then traded to the Saints. At six ft one, two hundred and three pounds, super athletic, he can flat go. He ran a four four forty back at his scouting combine in sixteen. Last year was his best. Had a really good run defense grade with twelve run stops off the edge, so you know he's a willing tackler out there. He's got two hundred and eighteen career tackles in four years, an impressive number for

cornerbacks out on the edge. He had his best coverage season playing for both the Giants and the Saints that year, allowing just fifty nine percent of passes to be completed into his coverage area. We stay in the secondary with number sixty six safety Rodney McLeod, although you can pretty much call him a defensive player because he plays everywhere.

He had twelve hundred and ten snaps last year, about a hundred and fifty of that on special teams the rest on the Eagles defense, six sixty one at free safety, the position he played the most, but he also was down in the box seventy two snaps on the defensive line one in the box, so about two hundred and sixty two snaps down close to the line of scrimmage, played the slot a hundred and forty four times as well, and even wide corner on six occasions last year for

the Eagles, and he was productive. He goes five ft ten one undrafted free agent, and he's got green grades pretty much every single year dating back with the Eagles. Plenty good run defense numbers, twenty one run stops last year, and he allowed just sixteen of thirty two targets to go complete in his coverage area, So he got done on the field, and he's also a very well thought

of character and leader in the locker room. Number sixty five on this list is rams Edge Dante Fowler, who did play with Marion hobby for a year back in Jacksonville, current Dolphins defensive line coach. He was the number three overall selection and of the Jacksonville Jaguars. More recently with the Los Angeles Rams after a trade, and he had

a nice year last year. Sixty seven total pressures, fifteen sacks, three hits fort quarterback Hurries, So that weighted pass brush productivity leans more towards the set acts than it was just Hurries, So he's not only hitting the quarterbacks, he's getting them down impacting the game that way. Had a career high eight hundred and eighty snaps last year. Thirty four run stops. Really had an elite season last year for the Los Angeles Rams on that defense under Wade Phillips.

Number sixty four is the Vikings former second round draft pick out of Clemson, the five ft ten one pound cornerback Mackenzie Alexander, and he plays primarily on the outside in the Minnesota defense. Five dred and thirty four snaps, four sixty eight of those out wide as a perimeter cornerback. Another one of these guys that's a good tackler out

off the edge. He had zero missed tackles last season, and he has allowed just three touchdowns in his career in coverage a bit of an off the chart stat. Four sacks back in on just twenty one pass rush snap, so every fifth snap as a pass rusher, he was sacking the quarterback. That's rare for a defensive back, much less a perimeter cornerback. And the last three guys on

this list are going to be in the trenches. We go back to Carolina for Gerald McCole, the defensive lineman number three overall selection back in of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and you want to talk about reliable presence on your defensive line. In his ten year career, he has seventy three hundred snaps as a defensive player. He had two hundred eighteen snaps and an injury shortened year back in tleven. But besides that, his lowest snap total was six seventy two.

So he's gonna be out there, down in and down out for you. Last year, had forty two quarterback pressures, eight sacks, and eight hits on the quarterback, made twenty five run stops. The Bucks cut him after twenty eight team, but he was still a productive player last year for the Carolina Panther defense. Number sixty two was a player who replaced Jeryal McCoy on that Buccaneers defensive line last year.

Former Miami Dolphin and Doma Qansou six ft four, three hundred and thirteen pounds once upon time was the second pick in the NFL draft. You know about the athleticism, the sheer strength, and just those broad shoulders that he plays with to really move guys around. Last year with the Bucks, had thirty nine total pressures. He has five hundred and twenty nine quarterback pressures. With the course of a ten year career, he's been a great pro for

a long time. Green check marks all over his board here. Back in eighteen, had fifty seven quarterback pressures, seven sacks, and made thirty seven run stops for that NFC champion Rams team. And to close out our number sixty one through eight players list here on Pro Football Focus is

top one hundred free agents. We go back to the offensive line and another player in that draft class, another first round draft pick from the Packers, Brian Bulaga, has spent his entire ten year career there in Green Bay with the Packers and it's been a great one. We talk about snaps logged. He has played seven thousand, six hundred and seventies snaps and exactly half of his career. Five of the ten years he has graded out in the top ten tackles on Profittball Focus. Very good player

in Brian Bulaga. Alright, that concludes our free agency preview Part two. A quick late add on here. Reports say the Dolphins will release safety Rashad Jones, and we'll have more on that news on tomorrow's podcast and cover Rashad's career in Miami.
