This draft is so damn deep at DE/DT/LB its unreal.
Yep! And 24 of them have been picked so far! To me that sounds like a very high percentage! But It was expected!! I have a total of 54 of these players on my Board!

shaunpinney trying to figure out my secret:
He's listed as a DE/LB on most sites - nfl.com have him down as DE though - I'm not sure what @Alan uses as his marker...

Sorry guys, I was up late last night hoping to get these picks in, and slept late this morning.

With the 60'th pick, New England takes CBS Sports' 44'th overall rated player, … DT Austin Johnson.

http://www.pennlive.com/pennstatefootball/index.ssf/2015/07/penn_states_austin_johnson_in.html

Being there was some trade activity for my 61'st pick last night, i'll wait ten minutes to see if this still exists this morning, if not, this pick announcement will be coming in the next few moments.

PLAYER OVERVIEW
Johnson's arc at Penn State was impressive, doubling his production from 3.0 tackles for loss in 2013 to 6.0 the following season and 15.0 as a junior, when he also more than tripled his previous career output with 6.5 sacks and used it as a springboard to enter the NFL Draft a year early.
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS: Possesses the thick-cut frame to fit even and odd fronts, alike, sporting broad shoulders, a big butt and gut and tree trunks for limbs. He's stout at the point of attack, showing the coordination and leg drive to anchor as well as good core strength to stand his ground even when caught off-balance.



When he attacks with his hands, Johnson can stack and shed blockers in the hole. Locates the ball quickly and hustles laterally or downfield in pursuit. As a pass rusher, he shows more effort than explosiveness or technique, chopping his hands to fight through would-be blockers but rarely slipping by them freely.



WEAKNESSES: Despite his gaudy sack production, Johnson is more of a run-stuffer than a pass-rusher. He isn't particularly quick off the ball and like a lot of heavier players, Johnson struggles with pad level. Too often he doesn't extend his arms, playing chest to chest with blockers and only releasing after the ballcarrier is at or past the line of scrimmage.



COMPARES TO: Eddie Goldman, Chicago Bears - A well-built player who carries his weight well, Johnson has the quickness to provide an interior push, but his specialty is holding up vs. multiple blockers to clog the middle and mirror ballcarriers.



IN OUR VIEW: Although not a rangy player, Johnson has a motor that is always revving and he moves well in small areas with strong hands to stack and create movement. A player whose production matches the tape, Johnson has an impressive blend of power, quickness and awareness to fit three- and four-man fronts.

Ok - Having addressed our Pass Rush needs in the first and added a deep threat WR in the second, the Chicago bears are now going to shore up the CBs and tandem the Fuller brothers, with the 61st pick of the ROD 2016 draft the Chicago Bears select:

Kendall Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
maxresdefault.jpg


OVERVIEW

Fuller was the fourth Fuller brother to suit up for Virginia Tech, and will be the fourth to play in the NFL, and probably the most talented of them all. Vincent played seven years in the league as a safety, Corey lines up as a reserve receiver for the Detroit Lions, and Kyle has played well at corner for Chicago after they made him a first-round pick in 2014. Kendall, a high school All-American, simply came into Bud Foster's defense as a true freshman, starting 12 games, intercepting six passes, and garnering Freshman All-American, second-team All-ACC and Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. Fuller continued to impress in his sophomore year, earning second team All-American notice from multiple outlets and first team all-conference nods from coaches and media alike (4.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, 15 pass breakups) -- all while playing with a fractured wrist on which he had surgery after the season. Unfortunately, the injury bug bit Fuller again before the 2015 season, as he tore the meniscus in his right knee during preseason camp. He attempted to play through the injury, but decided to hang it up after three games (seven tackles, sack) to have it repaired. Rather than return to Virginia Tech after head coach Frank Beamer retired, Fuller decided to head to the next level as an early draft entrant to join his brothers.

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Supremely confident and believes he should make the biggest plays on the field. Looks to feast on unsuspecting quarterbacks. Has the feet and twitch to trigger and go when he reads the quarterback's intentions. Takes a direct path to the ball. Ball hawk in the short and intermediate passing game. Logged 34 passes defensed and eight interceptions in 2013 and 2014 combined. Savvy and trusts his instincts. Good coordination from press coverage and can track releases both inside and out. Understands the body game and gets into the chest of receivers while running downfield. Willing tackler who steps downhill and doesn’t miss his mark very often.

WEAKNESSES
Lacking desired size and length for the outside spot. Doesn't have the recovery speed to be able to take as many chances on the pro level. Lacks field discipline. Gambler who will get his knot chopped by double moves and pump fakes. Allowed 16.7 yards per completion when he was fully healthy in 2014. Needs to get better at finding the ball when he’s beaten over the top. His play style could lead to early penalty issues. Tried to play through a torn meniscus and ended up shutting it down after the first three games of the season.

NFL COMPARISON
Kyle Fuller

BOTTOM LINE
The playmaking production didn't happen by accident. Fuller has the twitch and the anticipation to challenge throws on the NFL level and come away with his fair share of interceptions, but scouts are very leery of the chances he is willing to take as they have concerns about his ability to carry long speed.
