PODCAST: The best defensive scheme fits from the 2024 draft

Doug Farrar and Greg Cosell discuss which defensive players drafted fit best with their new teams.

The NFL draft was almost a month ago and most of the analysis has been done. But some players appear to fit in their team’s particular schemes better than other.

In a new edition of “The Xs and Os with Greg Cosell” with Doug Farrar, they discuss defensive players.

The Arizona Cardinals are a part of it, as they see the defensive backs trio of Max Melton, Elijah Jones and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson as potentially remaking the team’s secondary.

Check out the full episode below.

Who are the players they discuss?

  • The Arizona Cardinals’ secondary with cornerbacks Elijah Jones and Max Melton, and safety Dadrian Taylor-Demerson;
  • The Detroit Lions’ cornerback group with Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr.;
  • The Philadelphia Eagles’ secondary with cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and defensive back Cooper DeJean;
  • The Dallas Cowboys’ defensive line with DL Marshawn Kneeland;
  • The Buffalo Bills’ secondary with safety Cole Bishop;
  • The Green Bay Packers’ safeties with Javon Bullard and Kitan Oladapo;
