Overview
Evans' decision to enter the draft as a junior was surprising considering his lack of production as a senior. Early in the season, he was suspended after marijuana was found in his apartment, taking him out of rhythm for most of the season (four starts, 34 tackles, three sacks). He was on most All-American watch lists entering 2008 because of his first-team All-Big Ten performance (12.5 sacks, five forced fumbles) as a sophomore. Although his draft stock has taken a beating, teams looking for a solid reserve end could consider Evans late in the draft.
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. |
