Kayden McDonald Scouting Report
Kayden McDonald has the potential to be a game wrecker at the next level. He is an elite talent who can win as both a run defender and pass rusher. His natural ability allows him to be overwhelmingly disruptive, but if he can get more consistently active hands, he will be near impossible to stop.
Tim Keenan III Scouting Report
Tim Keenan III has a floor of a rotational defensive tackle who can make a name for himself for keeping teammates clean in the run game. He does not offer much as a pass rusher, which limits what his ceiling can be. His testing at the combine was underwhelming and puts the nail in the coffin of him being a mid to late Day 3 selection.
Zane Durant Scouting Report
Zane Durant is a smaller defensive tackle with plenty of movement to get off blocks and into the backfield. His lack of size creates setbacks for him in all areas of defense, but he has good technique and athleticism to limit the weaknesses in his game.
Christen Miller Scouting Report
Christen Miller is a versatile defensive tackle who can handle multiple assignments. If he can channel a way to match opposing strength with technique, he will be a more well-rounded player and find more success. He doesn’t have the volume production that many do, but all the traits are there.
Caleb Banks Scouting Report
Caleb Banks is a physical defensive tackle who can completely blow up the interior of an offensive line. His size makes it hard for the quarterback to have a clear line of sight without feeling immense pressure.
Peter Woods Scouting Report
Peter Woods is the perfect balance of size and speed for a defensive tackle. He can develop into an elite pass rusher on the interior while also being a run stuffer. Expect Woods to get a high snap share immediately as he can contribute in all aspects of the game. If he can play lower consistently, it is hard to see how anyone can keep him out of the backfield for a full 60 minutes.
Romello Height Scouting Report
Romello Height is a savvy edge rusher with impressive bend. He is an elastic player who has plenty of tricks up his sleeve as a pass rusher. His frame does not seem to be maxed out and he could afford to add around 10 pounds of muscle to succeed at the next level.
Marvin Jones Jr. Scouting Report
Marvin Jones Jr. is a quick edge rusher who will be serviceable as both a pass rusher and run defender. He lacks the bend that all elite edge rushers need to have, which may be his downfall at the next level.
Tyreak Sapp Scouting Report
Tyreak Sapp is the classic case of a defensive player caught in between 2 positions. He is too big to be a well-rounded edge rusher, but does not posses the mass to be a true 3-tech. If his frame is not maxed out, it would be best for Sapp to add muscle to his frame and permanently kick inside.
Trey Moore Scouting Report
Trey Moore is an athletic and speedy edge rusher who will likely have a future as a 3-4 outside linebacker due to his lack of length and power, but his elite movement ability. He is not a liability in coverage and can provide a little extra beef to the linebacker position.
Derrick Moore Scouting Report
Derrick Moore is a power rusher who can contribute in all areas of defense. He is not the best mover and his lateral agility is lackluster. While his stiff movement prevents him from being an all-around game wrecker, he can be deployed as an edge rusher who sets a tone of strength and physicality.
Max Llewellyn Scouting Report
Max Llewellyn is an edge rusher who brings elite lateral agility and footwork to the position. His lack of strength will present problems at the next level. He provides value in all areas of defense and will be rookie who can see a higher snap share early on.
Anthony Lucas Scouting Report
Anthony Lucas possesses a big frame and he uses his length functionally to win on the edge. He is just as good of a run defender as he is a pass rusher. He is a great tackler who can take up a ton of space around the line of scrimmage. Lucas is the type of player that NFL teams always need to add. An edge rusher who can stop the run and rush the passer at an elite level is hard to come by, but Lucas fits the bill.
Joshua Josephs Scouting Report
Joshua Josephs is an athletic mover for the edge. He has optimal length that allows him to make plays that others can’t. He will need to add some mass to his frame to be more multi-dimensional at the next level. His pure pass rushing upside is that of Day 1 pick.
Eric O’Neill Scouting Report
Eric O’Neill is an electric edge rusher with a high motor that doesn’t quit. He plays through the whistle and his will to win never lowers, showing in his success on the counter rush. He is at a natural disadvantage with his size and it is unlikely that he can add much more muscle mass due to his lack of ideal height for the position.
Zion Young Scouting Report
Zion Young is a powerful edge rusher who is a load to deal with for any opponent. He plays with a nice tempo to aid his rush. With that being said, he lacks a pass rushing plan and relies too heavily on his strength and size to win individual matchups. He will need to establish a plan in the NFL if he wants to get in the backfield on a consistent basis.
Markel Bell Scouting Report
Markel Bell has unique size that makes him an intriguing NFL prospect. He has good technique and does not rely solely on his size to win. He has surged as a top prospect at the position in the pre-draft process and can be looked at as an offensive tackle who can start as a rookie.
Vincent Anthony Jr. Scouting Report
Vincent Anthony Jr. is an explosive playmaker who instantly draws your attention when watching the tape. He has a nice frame with the athleticism to pair with it. His play strength can improve as he has not maxed out his frame. Adding some muscle without sacrificing his speed will be crucial to succeed in the NFL.
Malachi Lawrence Scouting Report
Malachi Lawrence is an intimidating pass rusher with plenty of high-end traits to become an elite producer. He is limited at what he can contribute as he is a flat out liability against the run. He can be a player who is always out there on obvious passing downs, but will need to prove he can hold his own against the run to be anything more.
Jeremiah Wright Scouting Report
Jeremiah Wright is a large guard who provides physicality and strength at the line of scrimmage that is difficult to beat. His movement is relatively limited, but he is still effective in close quarters. If his upper body technique in pass protection can improve, Wright could become a valuable NFL starter.
