Daylen Everette NFL Draft Scouting Report

Daylen Everette has the adequate length and athletic profile to be utilized in a primarily zone scheme.

Draft Grade: Round 5 - Scheme Specific Contributor

Strengths:

Size and Length: Everette has the ideal size and length to be a disruptive corner in press situations. His length is also disruptive at the catch point, where he can interfere with the pass for a PBU.

Zone Instincts: Everette does a good job of reading the quarterback and the route concept in front of him to put himself in position to make a play on the ball.

Ball Skills: Everette does a good job of locating the football and breaking up passes for deflections or interceptions.

Concerns:

Man-to-Man Coverage: While Everette thrives in zone coverage, his man-to-man technique needs improvement. Everett often shoots the wrong hand and will end up giving easy releases to receivers, which puts him in a trail position for the entire rep.  

Long Speed: Everett’s speed appears to fade after about 30 yards. Receivers who are running deep routes and have speed can start to separate from Everette.
