2019 overall grade: 75.6
Dexter Lawrence had a mightily impressive performance in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills and dominated in almost every facet of play. He earned 65.0-plus grades as a run defender (78.0), tackler (70.0) and pass-rusher (65.3) after he recorded three hurries and three defensive stops on his 34 defensive snaps. He ended the week with an 82.2 overall grade that ranked 11th among 111 interior defenders who saw meaningful action this Sunday.

No taking a shot at the OP. Just the irony.
PFF is a joke. But then again so are the people slamming the pick. Kids a stud.

Love this kid
And the only pass rusher that went even close to our pick was Montez Sweat who had a major medical flag and hasn't performed on the field. You can't just say hey we need a pass rusher draft pass rushers. That is how you end up with Eli Apple and Ereck Flowers.
Swap Lawrence with any defensive player in the draft and we still aren’t winning those first two games. There was no player in the draft good enough that alone would be the difference in winning or losing either of the first two contests. Also 3 pressures in 15 pass rush opportunities is a 20 percent pressure rate, which is elite...that’s the rate Donald pressures at.
What the hell are you talking about, Hill is a good player. Our best players on defense right now are Tomlinson, Hill and Lawrence.

One of my good friends from work is a big Clemson Booster. Gave this kid good marks on him all around.et him a couple of times. After the DL the D seems devoid of difference makers. To be 3-4 or a 4-3 is irrelevant. They need a stud DE or OLB pass rusher.
All I want is Betcher gone. Chase Young might be there for the Giants and he’s a 4-3 end. I don’t trust Betcher at all he’s a scheme first coach and that kid would be a huge addition w the right coach. I don’t think we have that.
The ones that do like Aaron Donald and Chris Jones last year definitely do get noticed.
Generating pocket pressure in the NFL from up the middle is the biggest asset to win big games; no QB is safe or comfortable

should be putting up sacks that rival edge rushers. He's a NT/DT people!! If you want to get an idea of his work subscribe to the NFL gamepass and watch the coaches' tape!!!

So Lawrence after 2 games is compared to HOF'r Donald. This place is ridiculous
Our run defense between the tackles has been excellent, Elliot was locked down except for one big run, the Bills could not run between the tackles. Not sure where you get hat Oliver flashed and Lawrence didn’t.

He's a Top 17 pick at NT...we should be expecting a capable pass rusher whose overall game rivals the 5 best at his position.
If he's not a 3 down player or cannot generate a pass rush then it's simply a poor pick at his draft slot.

He's a Top 17 pick at NT...we should be expecting a capable pass rusher whose overall game ( in time ) rivals the 5 best at his position.
If he's not a 3 down player or cannot generate a pass rush then it's simply a poor pick at his draft slot.
The upside of a player like Dexter is the promise of being a 'both' type. An any down type.

Isn’t he NT, not DE?

I'm pretty sure Balt doesn't regret the Ngata pick (12 overall) and his best numbers were 5.5 sacks and 14 qb hits. DT/NT can influence the game in other ways.

Ngata clearly a bust based on this board
Sunday appeared to have been rolling as the team averaged a solid 4.4 yards per attempt. However, a deeper dive into the rushing numbers shows that much of those yards were the work of the Bills’ running backs and not the offensive line. The duo of Devin Singletary and Frank Gore combined for 69 yards after contact and forced four missed tackles.
In particular, the Bills offensive line failed to create any movement between the tackles. When taking away the 55 yards created after contact on inside runs, the Bills running game generated only 26 yards on 19 carries when running between the tackles against the Giants.
On Sunday vs. the Giants, Buffalo struggled – allowing 12 total pressures, including four sacks, and their pass blocking efficiency ranked No. 28 in the league at 77.8.
Bills need more from their offensive line - ( New Window )
next thing we will hear is, remember he got beat once playing press?? name a CB who hasn't been beat.
put him in a position to succeed.
Baker’s write up is also at the PFF link from OP.
PICK NO. 30: CB DEANDRE BAKER, NEW YORK GIANTS
2019 overall grade: 24.4
Things just aren’t going well for Baker in the Big Apple. After allowing four receptions for 132 receiving yards in Week 1, Baker was picked on this week against the Bills and allowed seven receptions on nine targets for 140 yards and a score in his second regular-season game as a pro. His two-game stat line now makes for grim reading: he’s allowed 11 receptions on 13 targets for 272 yards, two touchdowns and a perfect passer rating of 158.3. Making matters worse, he’s also been smoked for a 50-yard reception in each of his last two games.
Pff 1st round rookie grades - ( New Window )
I felt him getting injured in preseason was a big kick in the nuts. And whats up with Mr. Glass Beal?
Webster was so bad during his rookie season that he was benched in favor of UDFA rookie Curtis Deloatch.
