Episode notes
Greenard Is A Top‑Tier Versatile Edge
- Jonathan Greenard projects as a high-upside every-down edge who converts speed into power and can also defend the run.
- Shawn Syed highlights a fast getoff, two-hand swipe, spin move, consistent pressures, and willingness to chase down backside runs on film.
Prioritize Pressure Rate Over Raw Sacks
- Don't evaluate Greenard solely on sack totals; value pressures and consistency as better predictors of future sack production.
- Syed and Sheil point to shoulder injury context and tracking/pressure data that explain low 2025 sack numbers yet steady pressure rates.
Lemon Is A Contested Catch Specialist Who Needs Scheme
- Mekai Lemon grades as an elite contested catcher with strong hands, body control, and willingness for contact despite a slender frame.
- Syed warns Lemon may need schematic help to avoid isolation press matchups but fits well in condensed, timing‑based concepts.
