ORIGINAL: Karl Juhnke 2022 draft was a flop. But I’m not ready to close the book on it until I see a healthy Cine in a Brian Flores defense. Donatell seemed to be about jamming square pegs into round holes. Hopefully Flores will be better able to put players in positions where they can succeed. For Cine that means not being a classic pure cover guy, but being a disrupter, a hybrid, patrolling the middle but able to take on a pass catching TE better than a linebacker. If he can have a productive role, the draft gets upgraded from F to maybe D+ or C- My less than expert opinion is that the biggest thing Cine needs to do is get his pads lower. I notice him being on time for plays, but whether it is trying to make a tackle or shed a block, he is always standing straight up. He has no leverage and as a result is getting knocked backwards during contact. Isn't that something you learn in youth football? I would argue the opposite. Look at the long TD run. He was the last line of defense and instead of keeping his head up and squaring the back up, he put his head down to try and blow the guy up and he just leeped over him.
