SackSEER's projections are based on a statistical analysis of the factors that have historically correlated to success as an NFL edge rusher. Specifically, SackSEER includes:
- The edge rusher's projected draft position. These projections use the rankings from NFL Draft Scout.
- An "explosion index" that measures the prospect's scores in the 40-yard dash, the vertical leap, and the broad jump in pre-draft workouts.
- The prospect's score on the 3-cone drill.
- A metric called "SRAM" which stands for "sack rate as modified." SRAM measures the prospect's per-game sack productivity, but with adjustments for factors such as early entry in the NFL draft and position switches during college.
- The prospect's college passes defensed divided by college games played.
- Finally, the number of medical redshirts the player either received or was eligible for.7. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, OklahomaSackSEER Projection: 16.1 Sacks Through Fifth Season
SackSEER Rating: 71.2%
Like Landry, Ogbonnia Okoronokwo is a good all-around prospect. His production in college was almost exactly average for a drafted edge rusher prospect, but his combine performance was a little better.
Last year their 7th highest rated pass rusher coming out was Takkarist McKinley, who had 6 sacks as a rookie.
Lest you forget who McKinley is, he owns one of my favorite Draft moments of all time....
