Overview​

Long-limbed edge defender with highs and lows on tape that make him a little more challenging to project. Joyner is a tight-hipped, short-stepping rusher with unimpressive speed and power. His hand work is basic, but he’s resilient and creates opportunities on the edges by utilizing his length and nose for the ball. He lacks a functional anchor to hold up against NFL run blockers and will need to play wide or standing until he improves his core strength and tightens up his block take-on. Joyner has traits but too many mismatched pieces in his game, which makes him a developmental prospect with a lower ceiling.

Strengths​

  • Uses long levers to create leverage and win on the edges.
  • Always a threat to strip quarterbacks when running the arc.
  • Sneaky slap-and-rip move helps him beat tackles inside.
  • Flashes quick punch-and-discard talent into first contact.
  • Zombie-like resilience makes him difficult for blockers to finish.
  • Pursuit intensifies once he smells a play to be made.

Weaknesses​

  • Plays with a narrow base and poor contact balance.
  • Needs to add core strength and work on his footwork and technique.
  • Lacks explosiveness and instincts as an edge rusher.
  • Possesses average get-off and monotone rush speed.
  • Tight hips prevent quality dip-and-flatten at the top of the rush.
  • Unable to create momentum with speed-to-power challenges.


Nice array of moves and disruptive.

Priority free agent

Overview​

Instinctive outside corner with impressive ball production. Dotson has adequate NFL size and a good feel for reading routes underneath, but he struggles to stay connected if the play travels beyond the first level. He has good instincts and eyes in zone coverage. He triggers on throws with efficiency and ballhawking angles to take it away. He lacks speed and could struggle making plays downfield. Dotson’s size, instincts and ball production will earn him consideration from zone teams, but playing in the league will require improved tackling and a specific scheme fit.

Strengths​

  • Four seasons of starting experience.
  • Transitions and drive out of his pedal are smooth.
  • Displays good anticipation to shade route breaks.
  • Curious and instinctive from zone coverages.
  • Closes to the football from playmaking angles.
  • Turned four of 12 career interceptions into touchdowns.

Weaknesses​

  • Sits too heavy from off-man trying to squat on breaks.
  • Issues matching intermediate routes and double breakers.
  • Needs to turn and find the football with back to quarterback.
  • Might lack necessary play speed for heavy dose of man coverage.
  • Occasional lapses in concentration led to touchdowns in 2023.
  • Below-average aim and finish as a tackler.


 
He was a 5th year senior in 2023. Not sure if he played anywhere last season.

Dotson and Joyner have potential to make the team. It was surprising to me that they both went undrafted.

Spyguy did not trade any vets. Still guessing that’s going to happen as 53 comes into focus. Also, he’s still sitting on a pile of cash. Meyers right now might be more nervous than Miller about getting paid. Hope both of them get extended. Both have earned their money. No way do I want to start Grant at LT or Bech as WR1. Give Geno both and let’s go!

I don't see any reason either doesn't get extended. Vegas has plenty of $$ to sign them both and even bring Jalen Ramsey in.

Ramsey not getting loved on draft day with a weak class of CB was a little surprising. Guess Mia’s holding out for a big offer… that never came.
 
And he still remains unsigned. Wild.
