Best NFL Draft Prospects by Projected Round

NFL Draft Prospects with High Chances of Success 

I didn't include prospects who have high or even mid first round grades even though there are many that I like. A.J Brown is the highest rated player that I wrote about.

A.J. Brown, Mississippi 6’0” 226: Round 1/2 WR – Good athleticism for someone that weighs 226. He also had two greats years in college with over 1200 yards and 15.5 average in each. He runs great routes and has a great catch percentage. He looks like he will be a successful NFL receiver and would be a great value in the second round or even late in the first. 

Juan Thornhill, Virginia 6’0” 205: Round 2/3 Safety– I’d take him in the second. He has great athleticism, enough to play corner back in the NFL. He also had many passes broken up and six interceptions during his senior year.  

Brett Rypien, Boise State 6’2” 210 Round 7, QB – He had good completion percentages for four years as well as a decent yards per attempt and touchdown to interception ratio. He is not super athletic and will not be able to run very well, but he does move around in the pocket very well. He has decent arm strength but not amazing. His accuracy is usually good, but not always on deep throws. He will sometimes try to fit it into a tight window and throw and interception. He reads the field well and usually makes good decisions. His top two receivers who were both seniors are not great prospects which makes him more impressive.  He is worth a shot in the 7^th because of his four years of success and his positive film. 

Justin Layne, Michigan St. 6’2” 192: Round 2 CB – He has great height and good explosiveness. He isn’t as much of an elite athlete as some, but seems to be enough of an athlete. He has many pass break ups in his senior year.

Isaiah Johnson, Houston 6’2” 208: Round 4 CB/S – He is super athletic and big. He could be moved to safety if he improves his tackling. He’s still relatively new to the position so he will still improve his technique. His production is good, but not great. He’s certainly worth taking a chance on in the 4^th round and could develop into a great press corner.

Blake Cashman, Minnesota 6’1” 237: Round 5/6 LB – While he’s not known as being super athletic he tested very well at the combine and he looks quick to me on tape. He had over a hundred tackles his senior year and 15 tackles for a loss. He also had 10.5 tackles for a loss and 7.5 sacks during his sophomore year. He’s a walk on and will be a steal in the 5^th or 6^th rounds. 

Ben Burr-Kirven, Washington 6’0” 230, Round 6/7, LB– Smaller at 230, but he is extremely athletic with an excellent 40 time of 4.56 and great shuttle and cone times of 4.09 and 6.85. He was productive throughout college, but had a ridiculous 176 tackles his senior year. He looks great on tape also and is certainly worth drafting late. 

Andy Isabella, Massachusetts 5’9” 188: Round 3 WR – Great production for three years with a massive senior year. He is also a great athlete. He needs to work on catching with his hands rather than his body, but if he can do that, he could be special.

Jason Moore, Findlay 6’3 215 Round FA, WR – Good size and while is 40 is just okay at 4.57, he posted a 4.07 shuttle and a 6.62 three cone drill, which are both great times. He also had a 37 inch vertical. He had over a fifteen yard average for two years and two thousand yards combined. He must have been injured his senior year. He’s worth a shot as a FA for sure.

Jeff Smith, Boston College 6’0” 191: Round FA, WR – Really great measurable with a 4.36 40 a 4.06 shuttle and a 6.87 three cone drill. He didn’t have much production and started out as a QB, but when you combine all of his years, he had 902 rushing yards with a 6.6 yard average and over a thousand receiving yards with a 15 yard average. His hand are bad, maybe switch him to defense or he should work to improve. Worth a shot as a rookie free agent.

Jalen Guyton, North Texas 6’1” 212: Round FA, WR – Another guy with good size and great measurable. He also has decent production with 1580 yards and a 15.3 yards average over two years. He’s raw and needs to work on his game though. Worth it as a FA pick up.

Chace Winovich, Michigan 6’3” 255: Round 3, Edge/LB – bad board and vert, but good 40 cone shuttle. He plays with great energy and is very explosive. He had 164 tackles in three years, as well as 43 tackles for a loss and 18.5 sacks. 

Ben Banogu, TCU 6’3” 250: Round 5/6, Edge/LB – He has great measurables in the broad, vertical, shuttle and three cone. He has 34.5 tackles for losses in two years and 17 sacks.

Sutton Smith, Northern Illinois 6’1” 237: Round 7/FA, LB   - Insane production 29 sacks and 56.5 tackles for a loss in two years, plus 3 TDs and 7 forced fumbles. Small. Can’t play DE, would have to play LB in the NFL due to his smaller size and lack of height. He has an amazing cone drill 6.75.

Jordan Brailford, Oklahoma State 6’3 250: Round 5/6 Edge – A good senior year with 17 tackles for a loss and 10 sacks. One of the best broad jumps.

Cole Holcomb, North Carolina 6’1 231: Round 6, LB – Great athleticism with a 4.5 in the 40, an 11’ broad, a 4.14 shuttle and a 6.77 three cone. He was also very productive with 312 tackles in three years and 12 passes defended. He also had 4 forced fumbles during his senior year.

Ross Reynolds, Iowa 6’3” 304: Round FA, G – Although he only started for one year, he has great athleticism. He may have to move to center, but could be a steal if he does.

Yosuah Nijman, Virginia Tech 6”7” 324: Round 6, OT – He has great size and long arms. He’s also very athletic. He’s more of a project than tackles that will be drafted higher, but that’s why you can get him in the sixth round. He has great potential for a sixth round pick.

Dalton Risner, Kansas St. 6’5” 312: Round 2, OT – While he isn’t as athletic as some of the most athletic tackles and guards, he is still very athletic. He has long arms and big hands. He has a high pass blocking grade and a very high run blocking grade. He could be great to take with one of the Eagles second round picks.

Chris Lindstrom, Boston 6’4” 308: Round 2, G – He started right away as a true freshman and did excellently throughout college. He’s one of the most athletic guards in the draft and he has long arms. He’d be great for teams that like to pull their guards like the Eagles or for teams that run zone blocking schemes. He’s another offensive lineman that I’d target in the second round.

Garrett Bowery, Lamar 6’1 310: Round FA, G – He’s athletic with a good shuttle time 4.58 and one of the best 10 yard splits for any offensive lineman 1.63. He’s shorter than some guards, and although I couldn’t find his arm length, it’s probably shorter than is preferred. He’s a great prospect to nab as a rookie free agent.

Max Sharping, Northern Illinois 6’6” 327, Round 2/3, OT – He is very big at 327, but is still very athletic. He has some issues with his balance and footwork, but still graded very well as a pass blocker and a run blocker. He’s probably better as a RT than a LT. He’s another player that the Eagles should target in the second or third round.

Cortez Broughton, Cincinnati 6’2” 293: Round 5/6 DT – Had one good year with 18.5 tackles for a loss and 7.5 sacks, which is better than many DTs. He’s a little smaller and shorter than is preferred and his arms are a little shorter. He’s athletic, but not as much as the top DTs.  

Marcus Epps, Wyoming 6’0” 197: Round FA, FS – His 40 time is a little low for a FS at 4.55 but acceptable. But he has very good shuttle and cone drills at 4.07 and 6.77. He has posted a 38.5 inch vertical. He had 324 tackles in 4 years, 18.5 tackles for a loss, 9 ints, and 22 passes defended. He looks good on tape and would be great to take a chance on in the 7^th or in FA. 

Running Backs Worth Drafting

Running Backs that are Worth their Draft Spots

The two types of RBs in the list are shifty guys without much explosion and explosive guys without much shiftiness. I think the first type will do better in the NFL behind average offensive lines. The others could do great behind great offensive lines. The two running backs that I’d be most likely to draft are Miles Sanders in the second and Devin Singletary in the fifth. I don’t love any of the RBs this year compared to other years though. 

Miles Sanders, Penn State 5’11” 211: Round 2 – Sanders has only one year of production because he played behind Saquon Barkley (Greatest running back prospect of all time, who proved it in his rookie year). Sanders had a reasonable six yard average and tested very well at the combine in the shuttle and three cone drills. He shows on tape that he has good balance and shiftiness to make people miss and stay on his feet. He also has good power in his leg drive. He doesn’t have great explosiveness or top speed, but he’s more likely to succeed than someone like Darrell Henderson who does have those attributes, but isn’t as shifty.

Devin Singletary Florida Atlantic 5’7” 203: Round 5 – I really like Singletary for the fifth round. He scored many touchdowns because he’s great in short yardage situations. He knows how to make people miss with his cutting ability and start stop ability. He also shows some power in his compact frame. I wish he was more explosive, but there doesn’t seem to be a RB this year that is both shifty and explosive. He played at a smaller school, which is potentially worrisome since the competition is less.

Bryce Love, Stanford 5’9” 200: Round 4/5 Love has an amazing average per carry before getting injured. I’d only consider him in these mid to later rounds because while he does have amazing acceleration and top speed, he doesn’t seem to make enough happen in short yardage situations, when he doesn’t have a hole to run though. He’s similar to Darrell Henderson in that regard. He also doesn’t seem to have much power. He’d be best as a receiving back.

Darrell Henderson Memphis 5’8” 208: Round 2/3 I probably wouldn’t draft Henderson in the second round, but maybe in the third and only if he’s going to run behind a great offensive line that opens up holes. He has okay power and can rip off huge runs when the hole is there. He’d also be good as a pass catching back. I think that he’ll fail if he has to make his own holes.

David Montgomery, Iowa State 5’10” 222: Round 2 – I’d like him more if he dropped. He’s a lot like other RBs in this class that can make people miss but don’t have explosiveness. I think he’ll do well in the NFL, but I don’t think he’ll be a top RB. I’d prefer to have him in the third round.

Dominick Bragalone, Lehigh 5’11” 230: Round 7/FA  - He’s from a smaller school, but looks to have the measurable to make an impact in the NFL. He ran a 4.44, had 31 reps, and a 10’3” broad jump. He has good cutting ability, especially for someone of his size and pretty good explosion and power too. He should pump his legs better when someone grabs them and he could break even more tackles. He is good at breaking most arm tackles though. He had three great years with over a thousand yards and a 5.6 yard per average until a poor senior year.

Khari Blasingame, Vanderbilt  6'0" 233: 7^th/FA, RB -  good speed and explosion, but doesn’t have good vision or moves. Great in pass protection. Could be a valuable asset in the passing game as a third down RB at a discount. Not great rushing stats, but good receiving stats. He had very good measurable.

Eagles Draft Grade and Analysis

Eagles Overall Draft Grade:

Grade A

We didn’t have many picks to work with and for what we had we did very well. We have potential in every round. We didn’t pick any players that are certain to fail which many other teams did. Dallas, TE should be able to contribute early on in his career and should be a good TE with upside. We addressed the CB position, which we were thin at. We got an extremely athletic nickle CB with a high ceiling. Also in the fourth round we brought in a DE edge rusher who has the frame and the superior athleticism to  be a star. He has a lot of work to do, but to get someone with this potential in the 4^th round is quite good. We also addressed our offensive line with a guard and potential OT. Pryor gives us good experienced depth at the position. Mailata, a former rugby player is an absolute beast and could develop into an all pro OT or maybe DT. He is very raw but I love the pick in the 7^th round.

2^nd Round - Dallas Goedert, South Dakota St. 6’5 256: Grade A-

While I would have preferred to stay in round one and take Will Hernandez, G or Connor Williams, G at this position I like the selection of Dallas’. He is a good athlete and has with great hands. He doesn’t seem to get very open on his routes though and still needs to improve in his blocking ability. He was also incredibly productive with 1293 yards a 14.1 yard average and 11 touch downs his junior year and 1111 yards 15.4 yard average and 7 td his senior year. Overall, it looks like Dallas has the potential to contribute as a receiving TE early on in his career because of his size, good athleticism, and great hands.

4^th Round - Avonte Maddox, Pittsburg, 5’9 184: Grade B+

He’s extremely athletic but he is shorter and lighter than many CBs. He would have to play against smaller quicker WRs. He also has great production over his career with 34 PBU and 9 INTs. He has great work ethic and plays with tenacity. He has some concerns in coverage and he’s better in zone. I like his potential as someone who is both athletic and productive. He is a little small and short which could hurt him some. Overall, he seems like another great prospect. I expect that he could become a starting nickle corner.

4^th Round – Josh Sweat, Florida St. 6’5 251: Grade B

Josh is an excellent athlete with a sub 7 second 3-cone, a 4.53 40 and 39.5 inches in the vertical jump. He had two good college years but not great. He had 7 sacks in 2016 and 5.5 in 2017. He would have benefited from another year in college. He looks quick around the edge on tape. He isn’t very big right now and would be best suited to come in on passing situations. There is a lot I like about Josh, his length, has athleticism, his tackling ability, but he does have some deficiencies. He needs to get better with his technique and he is slow off the ball. I’m not sure if that can be addressed. Overall, he has a lot of upside and could develop into a very good pass rusher.

6^th Round – Matt Pryor, G TCU, 6’7 332: Grade B

Matt is a big guard that played G and OT in college. He did not measure well at the combine, although he seems to move better on tape. He seems like he’d do better at guard because he’s not as athletic as some other OTs. He has long arms and huge hands which help him deliver a strong punch. He needs to work on his technique and improve his knee bend. Some people have concerns about his work ethic. If he works hard and takes well to coaching, he has a shot to contribute.

7^th Round- Jorda Mailata, OT, Professional Ruby Player, 6’8 346: Grade A

Big powerful athletic ruby player. I’m sure that everyone has heard about him by now.  He looks like a beast on tape. He smashes through guys and carries others fifteen yards. He looks pretty quick on his feet and has great acceleration for someone of his size.  Here are his measurable…40: 5.12, VJ: 28 inches; BJ: 8-10; short shuttle 4.67, 3 cone 8.03 seconds; Bench: 22 lifts. Overall his measurable are quite good given that he’s 346 lbs. He is obviously very raw since he never played football. It would be smart to put him at a position that is easier to learn. He has a lot of potential but he may flame out if he can’t adjust well. He has run quite a bit but he’s much too large for a running back. He could play a large fullback. That would be interesting. I’m not sure how his hands are. I would assume that they are not that great for now, so TE would be a little more difficult. We also just drafted a first round TE and have Zach Ertz. Still, it seems like he could be a Gronkowski type of TE. He is currently listed as an OT. He does have great size and athleticism to play OT and could develop into something special. It would also be nice to have someone that could replace Peters. It might be a hard transition though. It would be interesting to see what he could do at DT. His size and power are perfect and it looks like he has the tenacity to play the position. If I was the Eagles, I would test him out at various positions and see what he has a knack for. For OT, how is his footwork and can he knee bend to get good leverage. If he is not a natural knee-bender, than another position might be superior. I suspect that he is though even though he is very tall. Overall, he has tons of potential and you can’t wrong selecting someone like this in the 7^th round. His success will hinge on if he can learn the technique at whatever position he plays. I like his chances. Watch his highlights here:

Eagles Round one Draft Pick Options

Eagles Round one Draft Pick:

Normally I would have made an entire Eagles draft, but had limited time. I would like to see the eagles address their tackle position in the first round since Peters is old and keeps getting injured. I don’t love the OTs that would be available around where we pick but Connor Williams 6’5 296 could be good.

I’ve seen people say that we should draft a Running back. We should not. We have two very good ones in Jay Ajayi and Corey Clement, but we also have potential with Pumphrey and Smallwood.

We don’t need a receiver with Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor as both great WRs. We also have Mack Hollins who looked good as a rookie and Mike Wallace for the deep ball. It’s not worth taking a first round WR.

I wouldn’t mind a CB since we are a little thin there or a Linebacker where we are very thin.

Eagles Draft - First Round Options:

Leighton Vander Esch, ILB, Boise State, 6’4 256:

He did well in at the combine especially in the cone, shuttle and, vertical jump. He had a great senior year with 141 tackles 8.5 for a loss, 4 sacks, 4 pbu, and 3 ints.

Connor Williams, G, Texas 6’5 296:

He played tackle in college but will probably play guard in the NFL. He’s a great technician and if not for his injury and decline in play in 2017 he would be a higher pick.

Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa, 6’0 196:

He has good size and is above average athletic. He also has a crazy senior year with 18 PBU and 8 INTs. He needs time to develop and doesn’t have much experience but he’s a natural.

Later Round CBs

Quenton Meeks, Stanford, 6’1 209: Round 4

He has great size and he’s very athletic. His 40 is average but his other measurable are high. In three years he had 18 PBU and 7 INT. He’s very productive. He also had 65 tackles his senior year.

Avonte Maddox, Pittsburg, 5’9 184: Round 5

He’s extremely athletic but he is shorter and lighter than many CB. He would have to play the slot. He also has great production over his career with 34 PBU and 9 INTs.

Grant Haley, Penn State 5’9 190: Round 6

Another good slot corner option. He is short, but he is very athletic and has pretty good production.

Andre Chachere, San Jose St. 5’11 197: Round 7

He has good size and athleticism. He didn’t have the best senior year but did have 14 pbu and 4 ints his junior year. Worth a shot late for sure.

Darious Williams, UAB, 5’9 184: RFA

He’s short and was injured for several years. He had a great senior year though and is athletic enough to play the position.

Jordan Thomas, Oklahoma, 6’0 187: RFA

He needs some work, but for a late pick he has potential. He had a good junior year with 17 PBU and had 5 ints during his sophomore year. His 40 time is slow so he might have to switch to safety. Otherwise he has great change of direction.

Later Round Safety Prospects

Tarvarius Moore, Southern Miss, 6’1 199: Round 3

He has good size but could stand to be 10 lbs more. He had a very good senior year with 87 tackles 10 pbu and 3 ints. He is very fast in a straight line with pretty good change of direction and great explosion.

Godwin Igwebuike, Notherwestern, 5’11 213: Round 6 or 7

He has good size and very good production over his career with 324 tackles 24 PBU and 7 ints.

Late Round RB:

Dontrell Hillard, Tulane 5’10 202: RFA

Had 1k yards senior year 5.2 yard average. He also has a career over 10 ypc on 70 catches. He’s athletic enough for the positon for sure.  He has a good top speed and very good acceleration. He can run through some contact even though he’s only 202. He could be this year’s Corey Clement.

Disclaimer: I normally spend more time analyzing data and watching film. I did my best this year with very limited time. 

2018 NFL Draft: Value Prospects

Value ILB Prospects:

Genard Avery, Memphis 6’1 248: Round 5 or 6

He’s very powerful and very athletic. He also had many tackles for losses. He has some deficiencies but they are mostly in technique. He is a little slow off the ball though which is a concern. Either way his potential makes him a great pick in round 5 or 6.

Value Running Backs Prospects :

Saquon Barkley, Penn State, 6’0 233: First over all

The best. There’s nothing to say. He will be the best running back in a while.  

Nick Chubb, Georigia,  5’1 225: Round 2

He has a good career average of 6.5. Decent combine with good numbers in bench vert and very good broad. He has above average acceleration and power, which are his main strengths. He’s not super agile, but does have a good leg drive when he’s hit. He looks like he could be a beast behind a good offensive line. Maybe a one cut system. I think his injury slowed him down or he would be rated higher.

Rashaad Penny, San Diego State, 5’11 220: Round 3

His combine numbers are just okay other than his 40 time of 4.46. He needs to work on his hands and pass blocking, but he has effortless acceleration and a very good top speed. He also can hit you with power and then quick acceleration. He reminds me of David Johnson. Not super shifty, but that’s not his style.

Roc Thomas, Jacksonville St. 5’11 193: Round 6

 He’s a little small, but he has a good career average of 5.9. He is shifty and looks to have some potential.

Chase Edmonds, Fordham, 5’9 205: Round 7

He had very good stats until his injured senior year. He has a very good shuttle and cone but just okay other combine numbers. He’s very agile with a great spin move and quick side to side movement. He also has good acceleration but just average top speed. He’s a great prospect for the 7^th round.  

Value Wide Receiver Prospects:

J’Mon Moore, Missouri,  6’3 207: Round 4

He has a great cone and shuttle and vertical. Two very good years with over a 16ypc average. He also averaged 9TDs his last two years. He’s raw, but very athletic. Worth a shot in rounds three or four.

Justin Watson, Pennsylvainia, 6’2 215: Round 5

He has great consistent stats with three years over 1k yards and an average of around 13.5 with 10 tds. He has a good 40 and vertical but just so so otherwise.

Damion Ratley, texas A&M, 6’2 196: Round 7

He has a good 40 and vertical, with a decent three cone. He has minimal production, but he did have one good year with a 23 yard average and almost 700 yards and 6tdd. He’s raw but worth a shot late.

Vyncint Smith, Limestone, 6’2 197: Round 6

He has a very good vertical and broad jump, with a decent cone and good 40. He has minimal catches but very good averages with not a bad senior year of 849 yards. He needs to develop his hands and routes but has potential because of his size and speed.  

Jaelon Acklin, Western Illinois, 6’1 185: Round 7

He is light but has good combine numbers. He has a great senior year with 1369 yards, 16.3 average, and 10td. He’s sudden out of breaks and runs smooth routes. He should work on his hands but is a great late round pick.

My Ranking and Thoughts on Top Qbs:

Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma:

He looks better than Sam Darnold to me. He has a quick release and pretty strong arm. He throws a better spiral than Darnold. And he has some running ability. The spread system inflated his stats, but he did have the best QBR of any QB. He has had years of success and looks like he has great potential.

Sam Darnold, USC:

Moves very well in the pocket, which lets him make plays. Good arm strength but not the most I’ve seen. He doesn’t always throw the nicest ball. He looks the part though and should be a solid QB.

Josh Allen, Wyoming:

I don’t like him and wouldn’t draft him in the first. It’s rare that QBs with poor college stats do well in the NFL. I’m not impressed. He has a strong arm, but not enough else.

Josh Rosen, UCLA:

I also don’t like him. He doesn’t have great stats and he has a weak arm. 

Disclaimer: I usually spend way more time analyzing data and game tape, but I had limited time this draft season. I like the prospects that I selected, but I missed other good ones for sure and I didn’t watch nearly as much video on the prospects that I normally would.  

Thoughts on the Browns draft:

First, I would be so much fun to take over a new team and have two high first round picks. If I was the Browns, I would take Saquon Barkley first overall. He’s a once in a decade talent. He’s by far the best RB in this class and is the best prospect in years.  He’s super athletic, fast, strong agile. He’s a can’t miss. If the Browns continue to build their offensive line and have such a great running back, it will make things much easier for their QB. With their 4^th pick I would either tank Quenton Nelson, who is viewed as a can’t miss guard. I didn’t evaluate him, but if he’s as good as he’s supposed to be, and the Browns could move one of their guards to RT, they would have a dominate offensive line. The combination of the powerful line, Tyrod Taylor’s running, and Saquon
Barkley’s running, would turn the Browns into a winning team…finally. Alternatively, if they want a future QB I would take either Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold at 4 if they were still available.

Eagles Rookie Free Agent Signings and Grades

Free Agent Signings Grades and Analysis 

Overall Rookie Free Agent Singing Grade: A

We signed some solid players that can make the team and even start at some point.

Corey Clement RB 5’’11 220: A

Corey has potential. He didn’t have a great rushing average his senior year, but did during his freshman and sophomore years. He has poor long speed but is shifty enough for a bigger guy and has above average acceleration. He also shows some power during his runs. He didn’t catch the ball much, but does well when he catches it. He really looks like someone who could not only make the team, but could become a contributor in the run game.  

Greg Ward Jr. WR: F

Greg played QB in college, but switched to WR during the draft process. He is simply not athletic enough to play WR.

Tre Sullivan FS: F

Too small and not athletic enough for the NFL.

Tyler Orlosky C: C+

Not athletic, but he is strong and was a team captain. He does have some potential, but his short arms and lack of athleticism, will likely limit him to not making the team.

Billy Brown TE: A

Billy has good size at 6’3, 254 and has the athleticism to play in the NFL. He alos had a huge senior year with over 1500 yards and 22 TDs. He also had a huge junior year with almost 1500 yards and 10 touchdowns. He had a 16.3 yard average during those two years. He has good hands, but will need to work on his routes. While he doesn’t have elite long speed for WR, (his position in college) he does have decent top speed for a TE. What can I say about this guy but he will likely make the team and has a chance to become a future starter for the Eagles.

Marcus Oliver ILB 5’11 238: B

Marcus is a powerful and productive inside linebacker. He is a good tackler and forced many fumbles in college. He lacks athleticism to the outside and in coverage, and he is poor at changing directions. That being said, Marcus has the chance to be a first and second down linebacker in run situations and could make the team as a backup.

Jomal Wiltz CB  5’10 174: A-

Wiltz had a good number of passes broken up during his two years of college. He is small and will have to put on some weight, but he is athletic enough to cover NFL WRs. He could make the team and could even be better than the Eagles third round pick Rasul.  

Winston Craig DT 6’3 288: B-

Not a bad free agent pick up. He is small for DT but big enough that he could come in on passing downs. He has average athleticism for his size and above average production in college. He played at a small school though and usually you would want a player to dominate at that level if they are going to make an NFL team. He has some potential.
