Why does the floor appear to be falling on Tevon's draft stock? Anyone have any insight on this? Seemed like he was a sure-fire first round pick early on in the season....

I suspect it is that the further you get from the season the more people forget actual performance on the field and the more they start thinking about the measurables and potential.

This makes sense and would be a good landing spot for JT. KC is switching to a 4-3, loses a DE in Allen Bailey to FA, and is shopping Justin Houston in their 3-4 while franchising Dee Ford, also Edge.

Chiefs draft wish list: Jerry Tillery, defensive lineman, Notre Dame

Kiper feels like Tillery is the seventh best IDL, probably behind Q. Wms, Ed Oliver, Wilkins, Simmons, Omenihu and Lawrence. The first three have been consistently mocked in the first round. But Simmons tore his ACL, has some baggage and is slipping. Tillery is showing better than Omenihu and Lawrence. So, the end of the first with KC makes a lot of sense.

I've seen Love mocked at the end of the first - to Oakland (27) if they pass on CBs with their first two picks, to KC (29), and to the Rams (31).

Tillery at 51
Miles at 58
Mack at 78, before Love at 93....

I'd happily take Tillery with the Colt's 26 or 34, and jump all over love at 89.

Boykin may well have made himself a lot of money on the Combine/Pro Day circult, huh?

Good for him, for sure. He could be a very good NFL wide receiver. Though it always strikes me, this time of year, how the NFL draftniks drool over the guys with the physical tools (Mack) while guys who've actually produced on the field but don't measure as well (Love) tend to slide.

Love is going to be a great value. Miles will be interesting to watch. I think Mack will surprise many. I still think ND used him wrong. I've been up and down on JT, but think he could be very good in the right system with the right players around him.

NFL rules allow for teams to bring in 30 players for visits before the draft to the team’s home city or another location for a one-day physical examination. These players cannot be timed and tested. Interviews and written tests may be conducted during the visit. These may or may not be indications of the team's intent to draft the player or where the player is on their Big Board for their needs. On one hand, not scheduling an official visit may indicate that the team has enough information from other contacts or analyses. A team may want further medical evaluation by their doctors, so Montez Sweat has had thirteen visits so far as well as being a high choice for a team. Some teams do not use the official visits as much as others and some do not schedule those visits to disguise their interests. I did notice that Dexter had an unofficial visit with Philadelphia, too.

A writer on the athletic did a mock draft recently:
1st Round- Tillery
3rd Round- Love, Boykin, Coney
4th Round- Williams, Tranquil

No Alize Mack on that list. I'd say 6 in the first four rounds is pretty impressive

I'd be very surprised if Mack goes undrafted.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Given Love's production, I'm still shocked he's not at least a 2nd round lock. He's going to make 1 GM look smart.

He proved that he was quite literally the most important player on defense of a top 4 team and was as lockdown as they come. I honestly thought his production warranted a late 1st round pick

 

[zelezo vlk]

Measurable are incredibly important in the nfl. If his arms were a little longer, he could convince some GMs that he's another Chris Harris Jr. Sadly he doesn't have the length.

Jerry Tillery is an elite player, deserves a place in the top-10 conversation (PFF)

When it comes to the top 10 of the NFL draft, general managers want rare talents. Players with certain skills that make you think they can be an elite player in the NFL. I’m here to tell you that Notre Dame defensive tackle Jerry Tillery is one of them. You’d be hard pressed to see many talking about Tillery in the top-10 conversation, but from a size, athleticism and production standpoint, Tillery is the most accomplished defensive tackle in this class after Alabama’s Quinnen Williams.

You may be thinking, “he only had 12.5 sacks in his career and seven sacks last year, how is that elite production?” (hopefully not though because you are reading this on PFF.com after all). The Notre Dame defensive lineman is a fantastic case study on what one considers ‘production.’ Is it sacks and tackles for loss? Pressures and stops? PFF grade? While the first couple are still counting stats, the PFF grade takes into account every single interaction along the line of scrimmage — even the times when a defender beats an offensive lineman but didn’t record a tackle or a pressure.

That’s why, despite ranking third among interior players in total pressures with 48, Tillery tied Williams for the highest pass-rushing grade at the position in college football. A big reason why is because Tillery had 32 such wins as a pass-rusher that didn’t result in a pressure — the most among all interior defenders in college football. When it comes to winning one-on-one interactions, Tillery is as good as it gets.

So why the distinct lack of hype? Truthfully, I’m not sure. The NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah notes that ‘he is a very streaky player on tape…he just needs to become more consistent’ as his biggest knock. Lance Zierlein notes that Tillery is ‘raw with his hands and hasn’t learned to properly weaponize them in his rush attack.’ Reading those criticisms only makes me like Tillery more. If Tillery truly is inconsistent and raw yet still produced at the highest level we’ve seen from a college interior defender, just think what he could become if coaches can fix those issues at the NFL level.

I’ve heard a lot of similar criticisms before. The same things were said about the player who owns the third highest single-season pass-rushing grade we’ve ever seen from a college interior defender. Mississippi State’s 6-6, 310-pound defensive tackle Chris Jones fell to the second round because of inconsistent effort concerns and a lack of ball production. All Jones did was become a plus pass-rusher the first day he stepped on an NFL field and rack up 15.5 sacks this past season with the Chiefs. The scary thing is, that between Jones and Tillery, the latter tested out as a far superior athlete. Tillery bested Jones 40-yard dash (4.93 vs 5.03), vertical (32.0” vs 29.5”), broad (9-7 vs 8-10) and short shuttle (4.33 vs 4.62) while barely losing in the 3-cone (7.45 vs 7.44).

Tillery should hands down be seen as one of the elite prospects in the upcoming class and if he falls out of the top 10 someone will get a steal.

His pre-draft visits include the Bucs (5th), Broncos (10th), Titans (19), Eagles (25), Colts (26), Chargers (28), Chiefs (29), and Saints (62).

I've been calling Tillery Chris Jones for a while.

Somebody in the IE Mock Draft is going to get a steal.

 

[arrowryan]

I have Tillery going late first, early second.

 

[Legacy]

The SBNation writer from the Seattle site picked Tillery with the 21st pick in their annual mock. Seattle will probably trade back, having only four picks. Still on the board at that time was Jeffrey Simmons, Christian Wilkins, Dre'mont Jones, Dexter Lawrence and Zach Allen. The Eagles, Colts, Chargers, Chiefs and Patriots have needs for an Interior Defense Lineman. Simmons tore his ACL and has concerns. If Arizona takes a QB, they need a IDL in the second. If Oakland goes Edge, Middle Linebacker and CB, WR or RB with their three 1st round picks, they would have a need. Include Seattle if a trade back puts them in the early second.

10. Denver Broncos: DI Jerry Tillery, Notre Dame

The PFF draft board shows our love for Tillery, as he checks in at No. 7 overall after he tied Quinnen Williams for the No. 1 pass-rush grade in the nation last season at 92.5. Tillery’s size, length and explosiveness resemble that of Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs, a player worthy of top-10 consideration a few years ago. Tillery adds an interior disruptor to the Denver defense.
