Overview
Roy is an extremely uncommon interior lineman given the history of his position switches at Nevada. He came in as a slower safety, moved to linebacker, and soon moved to defensive end. The last two years of his career he had bulked up and moved inside to DT. He was a quick inside rusher who was among the nation's leaders in tackles for loss in 2011. It is highly unlikely that he will play inside at the next level given that he has maxed out his weight and is still undersized, but Roy could move out to DE and be intriguing to teams who run a 3-4 scheme.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Roy could be seen two ways: a player who is versatile and effective anywhere along the front seven, or a prospect who is undersized to play inside but too big and slow to play outside. This could end up hurting him, the fact that he has moved from safety all the way inside to DT, as some teams could see that as a sign that he doesn't perform outstanding at any one position. Once he finds a home at defensive end, he will have to figure out a way to get off blocks when getting doubled without getting washed, which happened a lot in 2011.

|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
