Overview
A preseason Outland Trophy candidate, Scott was a microcosm of the entire Clemson program, struggling amid heightened expectations to start the season before picking up his play later in the season. It is easy to see why expectations were high for Scott, considering he had averaged 50 tackles and four sacks as a sophomore and junior. As a senior, his numbers fell with his draft stock. But his frame and Clemson's reputation for churning out NFL-caliber defensive linemen, a mid-round selection remains a possibility if Scott can convince scouts in interviews that his disappointing 2008 campaign was more aberration than trend.
Analysis
×
| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
