2022 NFL privilege tag analysis: two major external connections are deserved, and three near-end fronts are annoying

During the privilege label period, all teams were stationary, until two days before the deadline, eight privilege labels were finalized, let's see if the players labeled by each team are worthy of this heavy privilege label:

Note: The brackets around the name are the player's PFF ratings for the past four years.

2022 NFL privilege tag analysis: two major external connections are deserved, and three near-end fronts are annoying

Tigers: Jesse Bates (79.9, 61.2, 90.1, 67.9)

The first game of the rookie season played the starting Bates, and the rookie contract was full of every game of the first start, almost every defense, stability and endurance are not doubtful.

After Earl Thomas left the mainstream arena, there are not many tour guards in the league who can really hold the cover 1/cover 3 single high position alone, but Bates is one of the few high-level tour guards in the league. Although Bates' PFF score in the regular season is average this season, the four games in the playoffs are 11 passes and 4 passes, 2 interceptions and 3 destructive passes, and the PFF score is 90.1, which is a matter of course for the Tigers in the championship mode to retain the core defenders. The Tigers are also highly likely to negotiate a long date with Bates before the start of the new season.

Chief: Orlando Brown Jr. (68.6, 73.6, 77.8, 75.3)

Last offseason, the Chiefs traded him off the Ravens with a second-round pick, so even if the salary space is overcaped, it is still necessary to keep Brown with the privilege tag.

For the first two and a half years of his career, Brown started on the right, until last year's Ravens left-winger Ronnie Stanley reported early, Brown became a left-winger, and then the Chief remained a left-winger, and the two seasons of 75+ left-forward ratings proved his strength. This season, his pass protection score of 75.9 and the pass protection success rate of 97.1 are both about 20 in the left interception front, which seems nothing remarkable, but in the first four years of his career, he can play two positions left and right, can play the crow's point-to-point cover and the chief's area cover two systems, and remain healthy, almost not missing the number of files, so the chief's labeling of him, the problem is not big. However, the chief's salary situation is not very good, and he may not renew his long contract with Brown.

Brown: David Njoku (66.3, injuries, 70.1, 70.9)

Since Brown did not carry a huge contract as a quarterback, which made the salary space quite abundant, he left Nchoku with the privilege tag this time, but I personally do not think that Nchoku is a privileged label level player.

Admittedly, Brown has the league's most three-near-end usage of 17.4%, but compared to the other two near-ends Austin Hooper and Harrison Bryant, Njoku is a relatively pure receiver-type near-end, with the highest PFF road cover in his five-year career of only 65.4, which means that Njoku is only a role player in brown's squad. As a near-end striker who mainly catches the ball, Nchoku has ranked 15th in the near end with a 70.0 near-end score this season, and ranks 11th with 1.56 yards per run. Even if there is an early race report, but the first five years of his career only accumulated 1754 yards and 15 touchdowns, in fact, it is not worth his first round worth. However, it seems that Brown is in a long-term discussion with Njoku, and this label is just a transition.

Dolphins: Mike Geissicky (50.2, 60.5, 78.1, 68.7)

Although Gesicki is named a near-end striker, he actually only spends 7.4% of his time on the line this season, 30% of the time outside, 60% of the time slot, can be seen as a large slot to take over. It seems that the dolphins also use Geisaki as part of the team and are definitely going to negotiate a long-term appointment.

Gesicki's performance in the rookie contract showed an upward trend, and basically fulfilled the extraordinary athletic talent he showed at the joint training camp that year, 28 five-five open catches the league first, but his ceiling is only a receiver who can attack seams and can attack vertically on the outside. New coach Mike McDaniel came from the 49ers, and if you want Gesicki to replicate George Kitter's job, it is basically impossible, because There is a big gap in The Open Road on the Line (the highest single-season PFF Open Score of 52.4) and the advancement after receiving the ball

Cowboys: Dalton Schultz (60.0, injury, 63.9, 78.2)

Among the privilege labels of the three near-end forwards, I am personally relatively less satisfied with the cowboy's tag, although he has shown the attributes of being able to catch and cover the ball this season, with a catch-off rate of 3.4%, a 55-5-5-open catch rate of 63.2%, and a breakthrough tackle after 13 catches at least ranked in the top six of the near-end. However, at the start of last year' season, I was still doubting whether Schultz could stabilize Blake Jarwin as the team's number one near-end striker, and now that he is playing his best performance in a contract year, I wonder if he is the legendary "contract year parallel cargo".

In addition, this year, many of the Cowboys' main players have flowed into the free market, including two main receivers Michael Gallep and Cedric Wilson, if Amari Cooper is cut as expected, and then loses the above two places, then the banner of the Cowboys' new season receiver group will be carried by Sidi Lamb and Schultz, which is very difficult in my opinion. If I were Jerry Jones, I would spend my salary space in a more meaningful, more valuable position. In the face of the steady and rising Eagles and the commander seeking a quarterback upgrade, can the Cowboys successfully defend the title of Guodong?

Pirates: Chris Godwin (80.4, 90.7, 76.0, 81.3)

If it is only about the strength of the players, just looking at the regular season, Godwin's PFF score for the first five years of his career is all above 80.0, and his outstanding achievements are fully worthy of the label, but Godwin suffered an MCL tear at the end of the season, and it seems that he will miss at least a large number of games in the first half of the new season, so the pirates will label it, it must be to continue the long contract.

After Brady retired, in order to avoid the crowd of birds and beasts, the first step was to keep the most core receiver.

Jaguars: Cam Robinson (injuries, 54.8, 61.7, 67.4)

Last year we frantically complained about the behavior of the jaguar label Robinson, and this year they labeled him for the second consecutive year, paying 120% of last year's annual salary. Robinson's PFF pass protection score has improved to 76.6 this season, the 24th in the league, yet his career high has just reached the league average, and I just want to say that this is a typical Jaguar management brain-dead operation.

The Jaguars are very likely to renew Robinson's contract with a big contract, and with walker Little and Javan Taylor in the main right-hand interceptor last year, it is almost impossible for the Jaguars to pick Evan Neal or any interceptor with a top pick, and it seems that the most recent champion should be Aidan Hutchinson from the University of Michigan.

Packer: Davante Adams (87.8, 83.5, 92.2, 92.7)

The biggest big fish in the free market was eventually forced to leave by the packers! Whether it is basic data or high-level data, Adams, who is not yet 30 years old, has established his position as the number one external receiver in the league by taking over the first place in the PFF rating for two consecutive years, and when Longo and the packers renew a large contract with the first average salary in history, I am not sure whether the packers will renew their contract with Adams, but at least in the new season they will continue to work together for a season, Gut Quinster YYDS!
