Rookie Dameon Pierce Looks to Top the 1000 yard Mark

Dameon Pierce – Draft Insiders’ Yearbook Scouting Report – March 2022

Three Rookie Runners Push for 1000-yard Campaigns in 2022 Season Finale

rushing mark this season with a strong closing game.

Pierce has had an outstanding rookie campaign with 220 carries for 939 yards, a 4.27 yard average and 4TDs. He also adds 30 receptions for 165 yards and 1 TD entering his final game at Indianapolis. It is even more amazing that he has accomplished this with the team with the worst record in the league at this point of the season. He was one of the few shining performers for the Texans who once again with select in the top five draft choices and possibly the first overall selection with a loss at Indianapolis this Sunday.

Pierce’s scouting report from March 2022 is below and listed as one of our most underrated offensive players in the draft class.

Walker has been instrumental in the Seahawks run for the playoffs this season, becoming their feature back with game breaking speed to change games. He enters his final contest with 936 yards on 199 carries for a 4.7 yard average and 7 TDs. He faces the Rams this week at home, hoping to pass the 1000 yard. Allgeier has 900 yards on 186 carries for a 4.8 yard average and 3 TDs. He faces the Bucs at home this week and it will take a 100 yard performance to hit the coveted mark.

The last time three rookie running backs topped the 1000-yard rushing mark was the NFL 2008 season. That year runners, Matt Forte, Chris Johnson and Steve Slaton all topped the 1200-yard rushing mark.

Dameon Pierce – Draft Insiders’ Scouting Report – March 2022

Dameon Pierce #27 – 5-9, 220                Florida – Sp. 4.60
NFL Comparison: Mark Ingram                     Rating 72

Short compact two-year starter has been a consistent performer in the Gators’ pro-style offense. Low based back with good initial quickness, the speed to hit a hole and get outside. Fine vision and knows how to read and follow his blocks with sound decision making. Quickness to jump cut and string a few moves together. Good lower body power to break tackles with the speed through the hole to make plays and move the pile. Rarely goes down at first contact. Finishes with good body lean to make extra yardage. Displays reliable hands as a receiver and improved throughout his career. Runs the route tree with good patterns and initial coverage reads. Effective on screen passes and moves decisively up field after securing the catch. Needs to find soft spots in zones better and become a primary outlet receiver. Maxed out frame and probably at a good weight to run inside. Adept at seeing even a small crease and slipping through it quickly. Capable of handling a lot of touches. Size may be a liability when it comes to pass protection in the NFL, though definitely tough enough to make the step up and face a backer. At the NFL Combine, he came in at under 5’10” and 218 lbs. Ran a 4.59 time and did 21 reps. Added a 34.5” VL and a 9’11” BJ. Marginal career production. Shows adequate top end speed with the quick acceleration to get to the 2nd level with the creativity to hit openings and running lanes. As a receiver, shows developing skills to press in time for 3rd down role. Tough blocker with makeup to face up with backers after further technique work. Probably top 150200 prospect and capable of being a quality starter, 1A or 3rd down back. Obscure well rounded prospect with the talent to fill a key, though limited role early in an offense. Talent to become solid surprise. Honest runner whose best football is ahead of him and a bargain on the 3rd day of the process.

NFL Draft 2023 – First Round Selection Order

NFL Draft 2023 – First Round Order
Texans & Seahawks Hold Two #1 Picks in the Top 12 Choices

  Frank Coyle / NFL Analyst

With the NFL campaign entering the final two regular season weeks with several playoff positions still open, teams will determine the early selections possibly as this weekend.

With just two games remaining, four NFL divisional titles are still unsettled.  Both the NFC South and AFC South divisions are wide open with every club alive for a playoff spot and all holding sub .500 records going into week 16.

Currently, the Houston Texans hold the #1 position at 2-12-1, though only a half a lead over the Bears who sit at 3-12. The Texans upset the Titans last week which delayed any claim of the first overall selection in the NFL Draft 2023.

Last year’s Super Bowl champion, the LA Rams are already eliminated with a dismal 5-10 record.

In the AFC, the Kansas City claimed their 7th consecutive West title while the Bills earned their 2nd East title in a row. In the NFC, both the Vikings and 49ers earned divisional titles for the first time in several seasons.

The Rams do not have a #1 pick, due to the trade to the Lions for QB Mitchell Stafford. Four other clubs do not hold #1 picks, the Browns, 49ers, Dolphins and Saints. Four clubs have two #1 selections, the Texans, Lions, Seahawks and Eagles.

Currently, there are 9 teams with 7-8 records and holding the 12th through the 20th positions with a few divisional races decided over the final weeks in the overcomes. The final order for picks #19 through #32 will be decided by NFL playoff results. The strength of schedule percentage is for each club’s current season. There will be only 31 selections in the first round with Miami forfeiting their top draft choice.

 Here is our Scouting Report of defender Tariq Woolen from last spring when we ranked him as the #7 cornerback in the class and projected him to be a 2nd-3rd round pick on talent and value. Incredibly, he fell to the Seattle in the 5th round, the 153rd overall selection. He has been one of the premier defenders in this rookie class which has featured several outstanding first year starters like Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner and Derek Stingley.

 After 14 games this season, Woolen has registered 51 tackles with 39 of them solo stops along with 6 interceptions and 13 pass breakups with one returned for a TD. He fits the Seahawks tradition and mold for long athletic cover men and has been arguably the best value of the entire NFL Draft 2022. He has started since training camp and has established himself as a fixture in the Seahawks secondary.

 Tariq Woolen #20 – 6-4, 205 Texas-San Antonio – Sp. 4.25                          
             NFL Comparison: Greedy Williams                 Rating 85

Long athlete made a successful conversion to cornerback after starting his career as a wide receiver. Made incredible progress especially over his final season, showing natural skills and the tough demeanor to be a top flight pro. Freakish prototypical skill set for the position and really responded to coaching on the basics of the corner spot.  Strong athletic frame with very good movement skills for the position. Over his short career, he gained experience in several techniques especially man situations and has made quick improvement raising his LOD. Rare combination of length, speed, fluidity and physicality to be a top pro corner with further development. Shows outstanding length and leaping skills combined with blazing speed gives him the traits of a top flight shutdown cover man. Currently he is still developing on basics and needs work on his pedal which can be too high, in addition to a hesitation in his reads which allows separation early on the route. Reliable open-field tackling ability with sound technique and hand use to get off blockers. Good at the line when coming up to take on blockers and finish. Willing to stick his nose in the middle of the action and fights off blocks to aggressively make tackles. Able to effectively handle press coverage and adept at bump-and-run using his strong hands to deliver a powerful punch. Uses his length and strength to reroute receivers off the jam. Opens his hips smoothly with the ability to retain fine speed and tight coverage. Shows the ability to turn, run and blanket his man while maintaining good speed down the field. Displays the good vision, balance, timing and ball skills to break up passes. Finished with 2 career interceptions and 9 PBUs. Developing instincts and awareness to adjust to plays outside his zone. Needs to be more decisive in his initial reads and learn to trust his eyes. At times, he gets too physical and can grab receivers and needs to be more disciplined. Usually stays on top of deep routes, though can give up too much separation at times vs top route runners through the intermediate zones. Most effective when asked to play man coverage, though grades out high in zones. Needs work on route recognition to be NFL ready. Faced average talent and graded out highly, but must prove ready for NFL air attacks. Displays a short memory and the tough mentality the position demands. In 2021, he started 9 games and made 25 tackles, 3 TFL, 1 pick and 5 PBU, earning first team CUSA honors. Over his two seasons at corner, he started 20 games and made 60 tackles, 2 picks, 2 sacks and 9 PBUs. At the NFL Combine, he came in at over 6’4” and 205 lbs. with 33 5/8” arms and 9 1/8” hands. Ran a blazing 4.26 time and added a 42” vertical leap. Performed fairly well in big game situations, though struggled early in 2021 when he was beat for a few TDs when looking into the backfield. With more technique development and consistency, has the talent to be among the class’s best corners. Though still raw in basics, he is a talented prospect who is making real strides at the position. At the Senior Bowl, made progress in his pedal and reads, areas which must improve to get reps in the NFL. Similar to Greedy Williams/Jimmy Smith in natural skills, AA, development and hitting power. Similar not only in size but raw skill set, which needs time and refinement. Fast riser off a quick learning curve, though still raw and a work in progress on finer points of coverage. Hitter with ability to intimidate receivers and durable at a demanding position. Top 60 pick with incredible ceiling.

Jets fell short vs the Lions with QB Zach Wilson back as the starter for their 3rd straight loss. They host the hot Jaguars this Thursday night in a must win situation for both clubs.

#19 – 5-9 Saints
The Saints beat the Falcons last week to keep their playoff hopes alive. They are only one game out of first place in the NFC South. They travel to Cleveland this week in a must win situation, where both sub .500 clubs are still alive, but the urgency for each to win will most likely eliminate the loser.

#20 – 6-8 Jaguars
Jaguars won their biggest game in years with an impressive OT victory over the Cowboys. QB Trevor Lawrence has taken charge and lead this club with 4 TD passes to continue their late run for a playoff spot. Face the Jets at MetLife this Thursday which will determine the fate of both clubs.

#21 – 6-8 Steelers

Raiders got a gift win last week with a crazy final reckless play they made to score a game winning TD. Hoping to run the table and sneak into playoffs like last season. Travel to Pittsburgh this week where the loser can start making plans for next year.

#24 – 6-8 Browns
Browns beat rival the Ravens which kept their slim postseason hopes alive. They have three winnable games in the Saints, Commanders and Steelers remaining with no excuse to claim a final spot. Vet QB Deshaun Watson stepped up last week and made a difference in big spots.

#25 – 5-9 Falcons
Falcons turned the page and started rookie QB Desmond Ridder vs the Saints. They lost a close game but still within one game of the NFC South lead. They travel to Baltimore on Saturday which becomes the acid test for any playoff chances.

#26 – 5-9 Panthers
Panthers struggled vs the Steelers, though still maintain playoff possibilities in the weak NFC South. Host the hot Lions this week followed by a trip to Tampa. Sam Darnold has done OK in his audition for the starting job next season.

#27 – 4-9-1 Colts
Colts blew the biggest lead in NFL history last week when they totally collapsed vs the Vikings. They host the Chargers on Monday night hoping to play the spoiler of their playoff hopes.

#28 – 4-10 Rams
Oh how the mighty have fallen this season. Rams continue to struggle without Stafford and Kupp on offense along with Donald on defense. Host the Broncos this week in probably the two most disappointing clubs in the league this season.

#29 – 4-10 – Broncos
Broncos beat the Cardinals in a game for draft position. Travel to LA to face the equally disappointing Rams with both clubs facing important offseason questions.

#30 – 4-10 Cardinals
They lost to the Broncos struggling without QB Kyler Murray to generate an offense. They host the Bucs this week playing out the string for next season.

#31 – 3-11 Bears

#32 – 1-12-1 Texans
Texans played hard again, but lost in OT to the Chiefs. Travel to Nashville to face the Titans in a tough matchup. They could clinch the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft 2023 with a loss and Bears win.

There could be as many as 10-12 in the top three rounds with as many as 15 thru the middle rounds. Aidan Hutchinson is the best defender in this draft class and could be a top two overall pick. He is NFL ready and a three-down starter. Kayvon Thibodeaux is an explosive edge defender and among the best of this special class of edge defenders. He figures in the top few selections.

Kayvon Thibodeaux – Scouting Report

* Kayvon Thibodeaux #5 – 6-4, 255                Oregon – Sp. 4.60                        
                NFL Comparison: Demarcus Ware               Rating 93

Physically gifted true junior declared for the NFL Draft after an injury marred 2021 season limited by an ankle injury. Freakish athlete with rare combination of length, agility, speed and power to play in both NFL fronts. Long angular frame with long arms (33 1/8”) and quick feet to play both outside positions in either pro scheme. Shows explosiveness off the snap to be an impact speed pass rusher with the size, length and natural strength to also win as a power rusher. The ideal defender as a weak side end in a 4-3 scheme, as well as the agility and foot quickness to play outside in a 3-4 front. His versatility and upside potential make him attractive to all defenses and should land among the top overall selections. Despite facing double team blocking, he continued to make impact plays along the talented Ducks’ front. Rare physical traits for the position with the agility of a linebacker and power of a lineman. Chiseled physique and well distributed with the room to add muscle to fit the prototypical measurables for an elite pro edge rusher. Shows fine functional strength to stack and shed blockers, though can be engulfed at the point at times. Uses his good height to his advantage and uses his long arm to get blockers off his body and follow with technique to separate and burst to the ball. Very good movement skills and footwork for his size and when called upon to drop into coverage on zone blitzes, showed good agility and coordination. Displays a very good spin move to disengage blockers with a great closing burst. Special quick-twitch athleticism and comes off the snap quickly and shows rare flexibility to bend the edge. Consistent with his knee bend and use of leverage. Currently his pass rush is a nice combination of speed and power, though he needs to refine and add new moves to become a premier pro edge defender. Shows the speed to be very effective in pursuit to the opposite sidelines or downfield. Fine length to effectively disrupt passing lanes and be a factor deflecting passes. Shows a strong jarring hand punch, though needs further development to gain a consistent early advantage. Shows deceptive strength to hold the POA and win most individual battles, though his narrow frame makes him vulnerable at the point. Relies mainly on his initial burst and swim move to beat blockers and needs to develop moves like a rip and using his long arm better especially facing the double team. Must play with good pad level to maintain leverage. Sound awareness with agility and balance to move down the LOS to finish. Fine short area burst to win early on the down and penetrate the backfield. Over the 2021 season, he started 11 games and finished with 50 tackles, 12 TFL, 8 QB hurries, 1 PBU, 2 FF and 7 sacks and earned 1st team Pac-12 honors. His production slipped late in the season when he received special attention weekly with double team blocking. Over his three-year career, he played in 31 games with 123 tackles, 35.5 TFL, 3 FF, 7 PBU and 19 sacks. In three Pac-12 championship games, he combined for 21 QB hurries, 13 tackles, 5.5 TFL and 4.5 sacks. At the NFL Combine, he came in at 6’4” and 254 lbs. with 33 1/8” arms and 9 3/4” hands. Ran a 4.58 time with a 1.59 ten-yard split. Added 27 reps in the lifting. Excellent fit for weakside end in a 4-3 set or the attack backer role in a 3-4 scheme. Talented defender with the complete skill set, though must dispel the somewhat hot and cold label. Blue chip #1 prospect with the skills similar to Demarcus Ware in AA, body type and Pro Bowl potential. Must adapt to facing double teams to be an elite NFL defender. Dedication to football has been questioned, though his production disputes that. Top 5 pick with incredible upside and scheme diversity to become a difference maker. Special elite edge rusher.

#11 – 7-6 Titans
The Titans lost to the Jaguars, but still maintain a two game lead in the weak AFC South. Travel to LA for a huge conference matchup with the Chargers.  Titans defense especially the secondary performed poorly and faces the talented Justin Herbert this week in maybe a playoff preview matchup.

The Giants continue to struggle after being blown out by the Eagles. Their 1-4-1 swoon puts them a must win situation in their rematch with the Commanders in the Capital Sunday night.

#14 – 7-6 Patriots
The Pats handled the Cardinals to stay within reach of playoff contention. They travel to Las Vegas where a victory could propel them to a strong position for one of the wild card spots.

#20 – 5-8 Packers
The Packers are coming off their bye week and host the equally disappointing Rams on Monday night. They could make big changes with a loss here and possibly replace star QB Aaron Rodgers for young backup Jordan Love. Packers could make a huge roster turnoff after the season.

#21 – 4-9 Saints
The Saints come off their bye week and host the Falcons and rookie starting QB Desmond Ridder. They are in a must win situation weekly, though still capable of winning the NFC South. QB Andy Dalton needs to step up here and put together a streak vs a soft final month.

NFL Team Power Poll
Draft Insiders’ Staff

Ranking /Record /Team

#3 – 8-3 Bills
Bills held on to beat the Lions on Thanksgiving. Face the Patriots this Thursday night in a vital matchup with the entire division separated by only two games. Josh Allen faces a key test vs this Belichick savvy defense.

Vikings edged the Patriots on Thanksgiving to maintain a four game + lead in the NFC North. Host the tough Jets this week with both clubs looking to strengthen this playoff position.

#5 – 8-3 Dolphins

#6 – 7-4 49ers
The 49ers came up big again, this time shutting out the Saints. They look to increase their NFC West lead behind veteran Jimmy Garoppolo. Host the Dolphins this week in a major interconference battle between strong playoff contenders.

#8 – 7-4 Bengals
The Bengals come off a big win over the Titans behind QB Joe Burrow. Host the Chiefs in an AFC Championship game rematch this week. Burrow has been at this best vs the Chiefs and Mahomes and will probably need to be again for a Bengal win.

#9 – 7-4 Ravens
The Ravens came up short late again and lost to the Jaguars. Host the disorganized Broncos this week and need the win to keep pace with the Bengals in the North. Club is going to have to show more composure in crunch time situations to advance this offseason.

#10 – 7-4 Titans
The Titans lost a tough game vs the Bengals, though maintains a three game lead in the AFC South.
Travel to Philly for a huge interconference matchup. Back Derrick Henry will have to be at his best while
the Titans defense needs to bring their A game to contain Eagles’ Jalen Hurts.

#11 – 7-4 Giants
The Giants lost a tough game vs the Cowboys with a banged-up roster.  They have lost 3 of the last 4 games and must step up this week vs the hot Commanders in a key NFC East matchup. Runner Saquon Barkley and QB Danny Jones will have to be on their game to take command vs a tough defense.

#12 – 6-5 Chargers
The inconsistent Chargers hung on vs the Cardinals. They play up and down to the competition and are still in the process of learning to win. Their offense struggles with injuries along the line and receiving corps limiting QB Justin Herbert. They travel to Las Vegas this week in a must win situation to stay in the AFC playoff picture.

#13 – 6-5 Seahawks
Seahawks fell to the Raiders for a crushing defeat. They travel to LA to face the Rams in a vital game for them to stay in the NFC playoff race. Their defense has failed in too many big spots this season.

#14 – 6-5 Patriots

#17 – 5-6 – Bucs
Bucs lost a heartbreaker in OT to the Browns putting them under the .500 mark again. They host rival, the Saints on Monday night which probably eliminates one of the NFC South contenders. Bucs play a soft schedule through December.

#18 – 5-7 Falcons
Another hot and cold NFC South club. The Falcons struggled vs the Commanders with little offensive production. They host the Steelers in a must win situation and their unreliable defense needs to step up or the Falcons start planning for the 2023 season.

#19 – 4-8 Packers
The Packers caved in the crunch time to lose to the Eagles. They hope Aaron Rodgers is healthy to face the Bears in Chicago. Packers could be turning over the reigns to Jordan Love with another loss.

#20 – 3-8 Rams
Rams were manhandled by the Chiefs which puts their playoff dreams of repeating to slim or none. They host the Seahawks in an NFC West battle that becomes a must win situation for any playoff hopes.

#21 – 4-7 Browns
Browns got it done vs the Bucs which kept their slim playoff hopes alive. They get newly acquired QB Deshaun Watson back this week off his 11-game suspension. They hope he becomes the stimulus for a late run at the postseason.

#22 – 4-8 Saints
The Saints fell to the 49ers last week which puts them in a must win situation weekly. Travel to Tampa to face rival the Bucs who they have dominated in recent years. QB Andy Dalton gets a huge spot where he must step up to have a future here.

#23 – 4-8 Cardinals
The lost to the Chargers in another inconsistent performance which has become their trademark this season. They get a late bye this week to regroup and see if starting QB Kyler Murray is healthy and ready to take this club the final five games and establish some continuity.

#24 – 4-7 Jaguars
Jaguars beat the Ravens for their most impressive victory of the current regime. QB Trevor Lawrence had a strong game and can develop into a top starter, though a stronger supporting cast is vital to take the next steps. Travel to Detroit to face another young club hoping to build a winning foundation.

#25 – 4-7 Lions
The hardnosed Lions lost a Thanksgiving heartbreaker to the Bills. They are well rested to host the Jaguars in a battle of two emerging young clubs who can surprise going forward.

Steelers are coming off a win over the Colts. Travel to Atlanta hoping their young offense behind rookie top pick QB Kenny Pickett continues to gain valuable experience for the future.

#27 – 4-6-1 Colts

#28 – 4-7 Raiders
Raiders shocked the Seahawks in OT and hope to build off that victory. Host the Chargers in a must win situation for any mathematical changes for a Wild card berth.

#29 – 4-8 Panthers
Panthers beat the inept Broncos last week. Get a late bye week this weekend to figure out what happened after early a hopes. Look to Sam Darnold the final month for answers to their revolving QB situation.

#30 – 3-9 Bears
The Bears were wacked by the Jets. QB Justin Fields continues to go through his growing pains with a marginal supporting cast. They host the Packers in a game for pride.

#31 – 3-8 – Broncos
Broncos and Russell Wilson were terrible again in their lost to the lowly Panthers. Travel to Baltimore for a difficult matchup. Expect massive changes here, though limited salary cap space and draft choices makes this one of the worst situations in the league.

#32 – 1-9-1 Texans
Texans were outclassed by the Dolphins. Host the Browns and former star QB Deshaun Watson in his debut after his trade and long suspension. Interesting story line this weekend.
