Keith Sanchez gives Chris Brazell II an 84 grade, which he calls a high second-round value.
1. Locked On NFL Draft breaks down Chris Brazell II's scouting report, focusing on his speed, route running, and draft range. 2. Damian Parsons hosts with Keith Sanchez, who is the Draft Network's Director of Scouting and a 2019 LSU national champion. 3. The episode asks whether Brazell can be more than a Tennessee deep threat and become a starting-caliber NFL receiver. 4. Brazell is described as 6'4" and roughly 200 pounds, and he ran a 4.37 at the combine. 5. Keith Sanchez says Brazell mixes tempos well and understands how to create separation with pace, not just speed. 6. Damian Parsons points to Brazell sinking his hips and working back down stems on routes like speed outs. 7. The hosts say Brazell is not limited to go routes, citing curls, hitches, posts, crossing routes, and in-and-out routes. 8. They note that roughly 22% of his routes were go routes, 18.6% were curls, 11.6% were posts, and nearly 11% were crossing routes. 9. They also say only about 7% of his routes were slants, which limits how often scouts saw him win against press leverage. 10. Keith argues that Tennessee's offense, with wide splits and specific alignments, makes it harder to evaluate Brazell in traditional NFL looks. 11. Damian says defensive backs will study the 4.37 time and play with more bail technique or off coverage. 12. Both hosts connect his vertical speed to the way he can set up posts, speed outs, and other easy throws for a quarterback. 13. Damian highlights the Georgia game as a tape that shows Brazell can take over against top competition. 14. The conversation notes that he was not catching passes from an elite quarterback tree, but from Joey Aguilar at Tennessee. 15. Damian adds concerns about Brazell's play strength, saying he looks slender and could add weight to reach 205 or 210 pounds. 16. The hosts also discuss focus drops and a tendency to let the ball come to him instead of high-pointing with his 80-inch wingspan. 17. Keith gives Brazell an 84 grade, calling it a high second-round value based on tools and film. 18. Damian and Keith then debate first-round fits, and Damian specifically names the New England Patriots at pick 31. 19. Listeners who want Tennessee receiver evaluation, route-running details, and draft grade context should get value from this breakdown. 20. Listeners who want narrative storytelling or non-draft football discussion may skip this prospect-specific segment.
