05/06/21 - OLB Quincy Roche, rSr/2021, Miami

Let's start with a simple premise from this 2021 NFL draft: Transferring from Temple does not improve your draft position. The evidence: edge rusher Quincy Roche, transfer from Temple to Miami, sixth-round selection, Pittsburgh Steelers; tight end Kenny Yeboah, transfer from Temple to Mississippi, undrafted. More evidence: All the non-Power 5 draftees, and the limited number of drafted transfers up to Power 5 schools, showing how the NFL, as always, doesn't care where you came from as long as you've got the goods. Also, the NFL drafts on potential as much as production. Roche moving to the Hurricanes and Yeboah to the Ole Miss Rebels didn't change that.

Roche, in particular, is an intriguing case since he was the American Athletic Conference defensive player of the year in 2019, before he decided to transfer, rather than declare for last year's draft, which also had been a consideration. Roche was in no way a failure at Miami. He got on the field, was third-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference, contributed 14.5 tackles for loss. He got invited to the Senior Bowl, reportedly had some impressive practices. So why the sixth round instead of a couple of rounds earlier as some mock drafts had projected? Hard to say except that, for all his high-motor production, Roche, a tick under 6-foot-3 and 243 pounds, isn't the type of edge rusher deemed a high-end athlete. A jump up to the ACC with even a slight dip in production doesn't suggest a jump up again in deeper NFL waters. - Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News
