NOSE GUARD
Strengths
He is considered one of the drafts premier nose guard prospects coming out. Despite his mammoth size, he displays unique agility and quickness.
He possesses ideal size and physical attributes any NFL defense would desire to have at Nose Guard. With the Nose Guard being the anchor of the defense, it is very imperative that you have the right player there for the success of the defense.
Cody covers all the wants and needs you look for at the position. He is that Christmas present under the tree NFL 3-4 defensive teams covet at the position. With his initial quickness off the snap, effective hand placement, and the consistent double teams he demands makes him an instant impact player within the interior area of the line.
Then away from the ball he shows the ability to consistently avoid blocks to his lower area with his quick feet, agility, and lateral quickness. And he displays good body control allowing him to sustain his balance, and make a path to the ball.
His ability to anchor down at the point of attack is his strength. His upper and lower body strength provides him the opportunity to frequently dominate in one on one situations. Then showing the effectiveness to neutralize blockers (which is his main objective in the 3-4). Then showing the consistency to quickly disengage from blockers, and get in on plays.
With his ability to quickly get off blocks, makes him an immediate problem child for opposing teams rushing games. With his natural quickness, instincts for jumping gaps, makes him a disruptive penetrating force. He shows a consistency wrapping up and finishing off plays effectively versus the run. Then showing good short speed, and willingness to pursue the ball.
As a pass rusher his first step explosion, size, and strength frequently places him in opposing teams backfield. With him providing a consistent push up the middle collapsing the pocket, presents a long day on the field for opposing quarterbacks.
He provides added value lining up at Fullback as a lead blocker in short yardage and goal line situations. Along with showing the ability to consistently block extra points and field goal attempts.
Weaknesses
Poor conditioning (limits snaps on field and drops draft value)
Too often plays high out of his stance (at next level opposing players will expose this liability)
Gives effort to pursue ball outside interior area (but lacks the endurance to consistently be effective at)
Projected Round
2nd Round
My Value Board
Mid 2nd - 3rd Round
Summary
On the surface Cody's physical talents make him a sure fire 1st rounder. But under the surface is his questionable conditioning. Which has me question a players desire to be his best, and takes him off the field for a number of snaps. This is the reason for me dropping his value into the 2nd round.
