Texas A&M’s KC Concepcion is a data darling with a barely believable 81.6% burn rate (5 percentage points better than anyone else) and happens to be a nice fit alongside Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell for the Jets. The Detroit Lions love offensive linemen, and with Penei Sewell seemingly moving from right tackle to left, drafting Georgia’s Monroe Freeling, who was significantly above average in hurry rate and pressure rate last season, helps replenish a line that has lost a lot of talent in the last couple years. We had USC’s Makai Lemon down for nine true contested catch situations; he came down with the ball in all nine scenarios. He is, as the kids say, an absolute dog, and giving him to coach Kevin O’Connell and the Minnesota Vikings seems like a near-perfect match.
