 Hey, I'm Dave Archer, Atlanta Falcon Radio Network. And we're going to have some fun because I've got my top 20 fix on the value board. These are the guys, not necessarily how they're going to go in the draft, but how they stack up, I think, player to player, the best 20 players available in the draft. Today, we're going to talk about 16 through 20 on the value board. All right, let's get started. How about number 20? Number 20, Trayvon Merig, the safety from TCU. 6-1, 208 pounds, ran 4-5, had 33 reps at 2.25. This is the Thorpe Award winner. The Thorpe Award goes to the top defensive back in the country each year. Now, when you start talking about Morrig, this is a kid that played for Gary Patterson, who knows something about defense in his 19 years as the head football coach at TCU. We've seen a number of horned frogs come out in the draft, including last year. A couple of guys went early in the draft. Trayvon Merig is a guy that has outstanding speed and quickness from sideline to sideline. Now, the thing that he does the best is his ball skills, seven career interceptions, but he had 20 pass breakups in just the last two seasons at the safety spot. Now, he reads quarterbacks extremely well, but he also needs to improve on the angles he takes when he comes downhill to make tackles. But Trayvon Merig, the safety from TCU, number 20 on the value board. At 19 on the value board, I've got Tray Lance. And you might say, whoa, wait a minute. I see Tray Lance being projected in the top five, six of the draft. Remember, I'm not talking about the draft. I'm talking about the top players available in the draft. Tray Lance is the quarterback, six-foot, three, 225-pounder out of north Dakota State. He's got a live arm. He makes all the throws. There's some experience attached to this. And that's why I've got Lance a little bit deeper in the value board here is because of his lack of experience. 16 games of his 19 experience games came in 2019. Remember, only one game for Tray Lance a year ago. So this is a project guy. So hey, how about a guy being able to sit behind a veteran quarterback like a potential Matt Ryan, sitting there learning the game. This guy fits, and he could do all the things that Arthur Smith would look for a quarterback to do down the road. He'd start talking about the stretch running game and everything Atlanta would do. This is a guy that would fit in Atlanta's system, certainly. But a lot of work to be done. This is a project-style quarterback. Has all the versatility. You're looking for a quarterback in today's age. Big arm, though. No question about it. Let's go to 18 on the value board. Jalen Phillips, the big defensive end out of Miami. Now, Miami littered with defensive linemen, right? You're talking about Gregory Rousseau, you're Quincy Rocher. I think Jalen Phillips is the class of that group. Six-foot, five, 260-pounder. This is a guy that played two years at UCLA and then transferred to Miami. He's got position versatility. This is a guy that can put his hand in the ground, come off the edge. He also can stand up in the 3-4. Remember, Dean Pease, and what he likes to do defensively, he more centered out of a 3-4, 4-3. This is a guy that could do both. If you potentially look at Atlanta trading back, watch out for Jalen Phillips, a very versatile defensive end. He can run sideline to sidelines. He has great speed, size, power. The one question mark is he plays a little bit too high. He plays a little bit too high sometimes. He did have a few injury issues at UCLA, but this is a big-time pass rusher coming off the edge. Obviously, Atlanta looking for some edge presence. Let's go to 17 on the value board. Elijah Veratucker. This is the first offensive lineman we'll talk about. Elijah Veratucker played left tackle at USC at six-foot, four, 315 pounds. Now, Veratucker is a guy that's probably going to kick inside the guard. Where does Atlanta need help? Left guard. That left guard position is a vulnerable spot potentially. This is a guy that might be the class of that area. When you start talking about a guy that played left tackle, has the feat and versatility to get out in space and play one-on-one, but he can kick inside. That's an excellent read in the run game. If you're watching him on tape at USC, his ability to get to that second level is outstanding. So I like the athleticism of Elijah Veratucker, the offensive lineman out of USC. Now, let's take a look at 16 on our value board. That's where the linebacker from Notre Dame, Jeremiah Owosu Komora-Mora. Easy for me to say, right? Six-foot-one, 215-pound linebacker. Now, you might say, oh, living under size. Yeah, he's a sideline to sideline player and that's where we begin to talk about his size. That might be some of the drawbacks, but the Bunkers award winner, top linebacker in the country, he also was the defensive player of the year in the ACC for Notre Dame. He's explosive, athletic, he likes to play physical at six-one, 215-pound. So kind of a safety body playing linebacker and that's where the drawback is. Is he big enough to stack and shed big blockers as they come at him? Moral-Mora is a guy that played bigger than maybe his size, but he's also a guy that reads, reacts, and gets downhill extremely fast. So look for the linebacker from Notre Dame to go somewhere early in the draft, but on my value board, he's at number 16.
