Josh Uche's NFL draft profile
Check out some of the highlights of former Michigan defensive end Josh Uche.

Pre-Draft Analysis
Uche is an undersized edge defender with long arms and the skill set to make an immediate impact rushing the passer. He has a good combination of initial quickness, bend and closing speed. He's twitchy and has a quick inside move. Uche is a developing hand fighter who flashes the ability to counter. He's relentless. He needs to get stronger versus the run. -- Steve Muench

Post-Draft Analysis
The Patriots got after the passer at a pretty high rate last season (a pass-rush sixth in DVOA), but there's a problem: Kyle Van Noy and Jamie Collins ranked first and third in pressures, and they've departed. Uche in Round 2 as an upside pick fits the classic Patriots Program because he's a developmental pick more than a proven commodity, the kind of player you feel more optimistic about because of where he just landed. -- Chris Sprow

Jets might be building the most boom or bust draft class in league history.

Patriots have moved up to #60 and have taken:

Josh Uche OLB Michigan

Over Baun? He's still dropping. I wonder what teams saw?

I like Trautman with their next pick if he's there.

Then back to the D and an OL.

Loving this. I believe BB has a new defensive scheme he's going to unveil. Nothing earth shattering just a couple modifications.

 

[nefansince75]

Thanks team... I missed some of what happened and you have it all here... No outside noise.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

I'm still scratching my head about Uche? Not his talent but I've read a lot about his lack of instincts. Doesn't seem to be a BB type player who needs to be able to diagnose plays quickly?

Did I see it correctly he only did the bench at the combine? 18 reps.

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

Uche might need some time to learn how to do some LB type things in the Pats scheme coverage wise and such but I see a guy who knows how to fly to the football and put dudes on the ground, too...idk that feels like instincts to me?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

#87 who's everyone have?

I'm going with Trautman.

Or another fucking trade.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Anfernee Jennings?

Well I said BB was going to go D heavy.


Trautman at 100?

Anfernee Jennings' NFL draft profile
Catch some standout moments of former Alabama outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings' career with the Crimson Tide.

Pre-Draft Analysis
Jennings is a stout run defender who sets the edge, has a nose for the ball and shows good snap as a tackler. He will never be an elite pass-rusher in the NFL, but he has an underrated combination of quickness, change-of-direction ability, power, and instincts. He's tough and has an outstanding motor. -- Steve Muench

I’m liking this draft a lot. Get a stout DLineman and I’m very happy.

I loved this snippet I read a couple days ago about Jennings:

Jennings — whom former Alabama star Rolando McClain once referred to as “the meanest mother------ you’re going to see" — was a three-year starter for the Tide and finished last season with 83 tackles and eight sacks. “He’s tough, he’s big, he’s strong, he plays football and he’s a grown man,” a defensive staffer said. “If you’re just talking about a pure man, Anfernee Jennings is a pure man. You’d probably have to look at somebody that came out 10 years ago to even find a comparison for him. He’s the last of a dying breed. They don’t make ‘em like Anfernee anymore. That’s a throwback linebacker.”

Dang and my guy Jordan Elliott went on the next pick, too.
