There Browns were mostly rookies and UDFA's for 2 years. Dude there's no arguing this.

Not arguing, genuinely curious.

I paid zero attention to the Browns so I will take your word for it. It just seemed like it was much more obvious in other sports than it was in the NFL.

It's weird that D.K. gets all this attention this draft when there's more question mark prospects out there like Ed Oliver, Jonah Williams, Brian Burns, Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins, Rashan Gary, and Deionte Thompson, to name a bunch.

I don't think any of those guys, with the exception of Kyler, have had a more polarizing lead up to and actual combine. DK's pics were all over the internet a couple months before the combine so by then his name had a lot of attention.

In addition to what WAC said here's a chart. Gaps are listed on top, the techs are underneath. It's basically where you're having a DL guy line up, either heads up on a lineman, on an inside or outside shoulder, etc.



Yea, here is good write up on the positions and the player example for each one.

Football terminology is incredibly stupid, and they use the term "technique" to describe where a down linemen is lined up.

Even numbers(0, 2, 4, 6,) are heads-up over opposing blockers, starting with the Center over 0(the classic Nose Tackle look). Odd numbers are shades, where a linemen lines up half over the outside edge of a blocker and half in a gap. Numbers with "i", such as a 2i or 4i are lined up on the inside edge of a defender. Also, for some reason most sources don't call anyone a 6i, and instead put a 7-technique inside of a 6-technique because again football terminology is really stupid.

Generally speaking, there are vague profiles of what kind of player can play what technique based on the kind of blocks they're likely to encounter.
