Thank you

Really love his upside and his many abilities to get to the QB and cause disruption.

I think this guy would do better in the draft versus who we got in FA but enough bitching about it.

I’ll root for him and hope for the best.

There has been a trade. Miami has traded picks 154 and 185 for 128. @Rambitious1 has agreed.

With pick 128 Miami select Hunter Bryant TE Washington

Honestly can't believe this guy is still here at this point so had to trade up to get him as you are all getting too good at this drafting thing!!

Route Tree - Sit routes, crossers, over routes and fades litter his tape, he's quite good across the board here. Does well to carry quickness through the top of his routes. He's got necessary burst and shows awareness to step routes into space to help produce larger throwing windows.

Hands - Has had some struggles with drops along the way, he can frustrate here in letting some get away from him. That said, his hand strength in contested situations is good and he's done well to catch tough balls with significant body adjustment at the catch point, too.

Versatility - Move piece who can serve a viable role as a receiver from the slot or out of the backfield. There's not much upside to plugging him inline and routes will be more disrupted if you ask him to work through the box. Threatens all 3 levels of the field as a route runner.

Contested Catch Ability - Good concentration and has needed size versus defensive backs to big boy defenders and work for positioning. Excelled on ball adjustments against tight coverage and showed needed catch radius to extend and finish away from his frame.

RAC Ability - His burst is something in the open field. He's got good juice and will remain a mismatch threat at the NFL given his long speed as he's able to open up his strides. Good contact balance and showcased a little wiggle to produce anxious tackle challenges in space, too.

Power at POA - He's not going to be effective here given his frame/stature. Doesn't carry a lot of mass in the lower half and doesn't illustrate a ton of leg drive or desirable foot activity to uproot defenders. Blocking will generally need a lot of work, especially if asked to play attached to OT.

Competitive Toughness - Love what he can provide as a receiver. He's able to get onto the body of defenders as a route runner and create some room to work at the catch point. As a blocker, he'll get washed by defensive linemen and needs more assertive punch vs. LBs to avoid getting worked.

Flexibility - Very good body control, has made impressive adjustments on fades and wheels that require back shoulder targets. He's got plenty of lateral mobility through the lower half to produce spring during his redirection and hard cuts.

Balance - Fluid athlete in the open field that should thrive against linebackers in coverage. Block framing is tempered by a narrow base, he'll spin too easily off of contact and doesn't channel linear drive to produce movement off the LOS.

Football IQ - Crisp in his routes. Appreciate his awareness of timing for looking back to the football, doesn't tip his hand prematurely. There's some concessions needed to protect him from raw skill set as a blocker if he's going to find an early impact and not fall into TE transition trap.

Best Trait - RAC Ability

Worst Trait - Power at POA

Best Film - Utah (2018)

Worst Film - Stanford (2019)

Red Flags - None

Summary - Hunter Bryant should be a dynamic receiving threat at the NFL level. Bryant brings excellent quickness, run after catch skills and versatility to a flex tight end role. Plugging Bryant into a traditional inline role will water down his receiving skills — he's best working off the LOS or as a flexed slot receiver who can serve as a H/W/S mismatch for opposing defenders. If Bryant it put in such a flex role, look for early production and long-term starter status in the pros.

@DVontel has about an hour left for his pick and @Raptorman hasnt been on since Monday. His wife is quite ill as I understand it. Might pay to start thinking about making selections on their behalf.

With pick #130 of the 2020 R.O.D. draft....the N.O. Saints select....
Devin Duvernay WR Texas

Size/Versatility
Duvernay isn’t going to grade out highly for me in this section just purely based on who he is as a player. Duvernay, as listed above, is 5’10/200 and purely played the slot at Texas. His weight isn’t the lightest for a WR, but he’s not going to have the size to consistently win on the outside. With that being said, Duvernay’s a RB with the ball in his hands and you wouldn’t know that he’s only 200 pounds. He can make a defender feel his presence.

RATING:

Route Running/Ability to Separate
Duvernay’s a crisp route-runner with tremendous burst to create separation at the top of his breaks. He carries his momentum so well and is able to shift his weight to snap in and out of breaks easily. While a lot of Duvernay’s touches came on swing passes, crossers, screens, etc. he was still used all over the field and showed his ability to run a full route tree.

RATING:

Speed
At the 2020 NFL Combine, Duvernay ran a 4.39 40-yard dash. That’s not a fluke run either. His ability to pull away and break off a big play shows up time and time again on his tape. He’s a former track guy and that translates over to the NFL field. While some slot receivers in the NFL have excellent hands, the majority of them lack any sort of true speed/acceleration to their games. Duvernay can come in from day one and take a shallow crossing route across the field and simply out-run the entire defense.

RATING: 1/2

Hands
Duvernay finished with 106 receptions for 1,386 yards and 9 touchdowns last season at Texas. When you put on the tape, you’ll notice that he catches absolutely everything thrown his way. As mentioned before though, these passes are not all just behind the line of scrimmage or within five yards. He’s being used downfield as a field stretcher out of the slot or put in contested catch situations. He somehow always comes down with the ball.

RATING:

Ball-Tracking/Awareness
While Duvernay wasn’t primarily used downfield, he’s shown enough of a proficiency to be used that way in the NFL occasionally. He’s shown the ability time and time again to track the ball while it’s in the air and highpoint the catch, regardless of his size.

RATING:

After the Catch
If you watched the Grant Delpit clip above, you saw how Duvernay turns into a RB with the ball in his hands. You simply just don’t want to get in his way…or you need to make sure that you’re prepared. However, Duvernay picks and chooses his spots when to engage like that. In other instances, he’ll wisely duck out of bounds or try to make a defender miss in the open field and turn on the jets. If Duvernay hits open grass, there’s no way you’re catching him.

RATING:

NFL Comparison
When watching Duvernay on tape, two players come to mind when evaluating his play style: Golden Taint and Deebo Samuel. Duvernay fills a Taint role in the NFL and could have the same effect as a YAC player, but he runs like Samuel does with the ball in his hands. Those are two very good players and Duvernay could have the same type of impact in the NFL.
