Tucker displays the patience and instincts for inside/outside zone and is able to quickly clear holes with his block anticipation and north-south acceleration.

He projects best as a 3-4 stand-up outside linebacker in the NFL. Leota tends to take long paths to the quarterback, but he holds his own versus the run and displays pass-rush tools worth examining and expanding. He has the makings of a two-down defender and special teamer at the next level. Orji is a high-effort pursuit player with short-area quickness and thump as a tackler, but he is often a half-second late working through the action, and his coverage limitations likely restrict his NFL role. He projects as a scheme-versatile sub-rusher. Phelps’ lack of size/length will be a limiting factor for him versus NFL competition, but he is a pesky player to block because of his get-off and menacing energy in pursuit.

His game is reminiscent of Dorance Armstrong, a useful edge rusher in an NFL rotation. Incoom isn’t known for his crafty counter measures, but he has the upfield athleticism and edge-setting presence to provide an NFL team value as both a pass rusher and run defender. Thomas Incoom, Edge, Central Michigan (6-2, 262) Not having any athletic testing data pre-draft might hurt him on some teams’ draft boards. Wright is a long, physical corner who needs to adapt a more disciplined approach, but he has the traits to spy throws, overlap his coverage and make plays on the ball from the perimeter. Rejzohn Wright, CB, Oregon State (6-1, 193) His exact NFL position fit will be different from scheme to scheme, but it will be important for him to carve out a role on special teams to secure a roster spot. Pace is undersized and faces questions about his ability as an every-down player in the NFL, but he is instinctive with the play speed, urgency and contact balance to consistently affect the game with his effort. Ivan Pace Jr., LB, Cincinnati (5-10, 231) With his versatile skill set and motor, his best NFL fit is standing up as outside linebacker in a 3-4 base.ĭraft order and updated results: See every selection

Wheat doesn’t have elite length or explosiveness, but he is a physical edge setter with the front-seven athleticism that will speak to different schemes. Tyrus Wheat, Edge, Mississippi State (6-2, 263) He has NFL starter talent with guard-center versatility. Emil Ekiyor Jr., G, Alabama (6-2, 314)Įkiyor finds himself in compromised positions when his punch hands get off-schedule, but he moves well with the processing and core strength to be effective in multiple schemes.
