Front seven has good but lower upside players at interior but with some interesting prospects, edge is stocked at the top with high upside/high risk players and high floor/low ceiling players, and linebacker is loaded adding to a slightly odd trend of less valued positions being good in this class.

Wyatt
was the more dynamic of the Georgia linemen while Davis is athletic, he was at
his best occupying space in the middle of the line. Jones was a standout for
UCONN but really popped on the scene at the Senior Bowl and Combine. The tape
matches what he did especially in an impressive performance against Clemson.
Hall is an Edge for some and while I think he could perform admirably out there
he was stout enough against the run when he played inside and his athleticism should
shine better on the inside.

6’ 2 7/8”, 304 lbs | 12 | 9 | 2 | 2 | x | x | 4.91 | x | 23.5 | 109 | ES (6.1)
Leal,
Winfrey, and Mathis are all athletic interior disruptors from big schools. They
made relatively consistent impacts, but didn’t disrupt quite like the top 4.
Neil

Davis
was really good but he missed most of the season with injury, Uwazurike played
well against elite line competition and Farrell didn’t test well but was all
over the place for the LSU Defense.

S (7.2)
All
three are good players, I just prefer the upside provided by Thibodeaux and
Walker. Thibodeaux is getting the stupidest of NFL treatment as someone who has
a personality and hobbies. Reminds me of when Myles Garrett had the red flag of
“liking dinosaurs”. Hutchinson is the least exciting but probably the best
rounded edge prospect of this draft.
George
Karlaftis | Purdue (B1G) –

(6.6)
Karlaftis
is a strong, athletic, consistent performer who reminds of Kerrigan coming out but
not because of the jersey (I Promise), Ojabo would be in the top tier if he
hadn’t blown out his achilles, Mafe is athletic as shit but he wasn’t consistent
at the point of attack and was inconsistent in pass rush disruption, and
Jermaine Johnson II is a discount Hutchinson, in that he’s solid but I wonder
ultimately about his upside.
Arnold
Ebiketie | Penn State (B1G)
– 6’ 2 3/4”, 247 lbs | 18 | 9.5 | 1 | 1 | 4.66 | x | 4.24 | 6.95 | 38 | 128 |

Sam
Williams | Ole Miss (SEC) –
6’ 3 5/8”, 261 lbs | 16 | 12.5 | 1 | 1 | 4.46 | 1.55 | 4.34 | 7.03 | 32.5 | 123

Paschal | Kentucky (SEC) –
6’ 2 5/8”, 268 lbs | 15.5 | 5.5 | 0 | 0 | 4.77 | 1.57 | x | x | 37.5 | 123 |
ES (6.1)
All
three are above average athletes, Jackson drops well, Paschal is the worst
athlete but stout at the point of attack, Ebiketie is athletic but needs refinement
and Williams is the one that might have the best bend.

Dean
and Lloyd are great prospects, with incredible instincts and the ability to go
sideline to sideline with ease.

129 | ES (7.0)
Walker
was outshined by Dean but is a quick, smart, and athletic player in his own
right, Chenal continues a line of Badgers backers with pro level upside and
athleticism, and Muma isn’t a classic inside linebacker but he’ll be a great OLB
in 4-3 and has the athleticism to rush or drop in coverage when needed.
