DRAFT TRACKER 2019

High-motor defensive end prospect possessing NFL play strength on a well-muscled, compact frame. Bosa uses forward lean, smart hands and impressive upper-body power to pry open edges against the run and pass. He can defeat single blocks and fits as an end in both 4-3 and 3-4 fronts with the ability to reduce inside as a rusher. His lack of fluidity in space could prevent him from becoming an elite rusher, but he understands how to play and should become an early starter and future Pro Bowler.

Five-star defensive end prospect coming into Michigan who leaves with those same five-star traits and loads of potential but a lack of development in key areas. Gary is a face-up rusher who seems content to hit tackles with bull-rush attempts rather than working the edges. He's explosive out of the blocks and in closing to the quarterback, and is just waiting for hand development and additional rush moves. His size, strength and motor could make him a plus run defender in short order. He has elite potential if a defensive coordinator can harness the energy and focus his approach.

Highly productive 4-3 defensive end with prototypical size, length and strength to offer early help against both the run and pass. Playing next to NFL talent in all three years certainly made things easier for Ferrell, but his edge-setting and rush plan improvements are self-made. His rush can be leggy and gradual and might not get home as often in the pros, but NFL coaching might further unleash his physical traits and turn him into a star. Ferrell is a complete defender and steady talent who could start early for a 4-3 stop unit.

A 4-3 base end who won't wow teams with his frame or athleticism but who will pique their interest with his rugged play demeanor and surprising rush acumen. Collier is stout at the point of attack and will offer some value as a power rusher; he really flashed an ability to translate his power into an above-average rush at the Senior Bowl. Collier's toughness, size and strength are traits seen typically from players who develop into quality starting ends.

Promising 4-3 defensive end prospect with outstanding length, good quickness and a play motor that keeps humming from snap to snap. Nelson needs to add play strength and learn to leverage his length to unlock his intriguing potential as a pass rusher. Teams could be tempted to play him inside in odd fronts, but he might not have the strength or physicality to handle that early on. His areas of concern are mostly correctable for a traits-based prospect with the potential for rapid improvement as a future starter.

Long-limbed base end with moldable potential as a rusher, but a lack of play strength and balance finds him on the ground way too often. Bryant offers potential as a rangy edge rusher with the length to separate and turn the corner, but he might not offer up enough rush talent to overcome his struggles in holding the point against the run. He has starter's traits and backup talent, but he could end up as a future starter if he gets his strength right.

Hard-charging defensive end who calls on initial quickness, play strength and outstanding instincts to counter his lack of length and athleticism. Allen's toughness and ability to diagnose quickly could allow him to play early as a run defender, but limitations as a rusher could push him inside on passing downs. He has average starter's potential and could be in consideration by odd or even fronts at defensive end.

His "bull in a china shop" playing style may not look pretty, but it has created consistent production over the last three seasons. While his NFL-ready frame and play strength are a big plus, his lack of edge speed, bend and fluidity could cap has NFL rush success. Jackson is a natural 4-3 base end, but he may have the length and frame to handle 3-4 defensive end duties.

Potentially polarizing prospect as some teams could struggle with his best fit in the league. With his athletic ability and functional strength, a role as base in a 4-3 scheme with the ability to reduce inside is most likely. One-gapping 3-4 defenses could target him as well, but he'll need to add aggressiveness at the point of attack for that role. Keke could step into an early backup spot, but he possesses enough natural ability to aim for an eventual starter or designated rusher role.

Omenihu steps off the bus with a physique that says NFL defensive end, but his skill-set and football acumen are still very raw. He looks like a 5-technique and lines up there, but he simply doesn't have the grit or anchor needed for that line of work. As a 4-3 end, Omenihu sets a stronger edge and has shown some potential to mix power with get-off as a rusher. His game lacks instincts and consistency, but he's got the traits and potential to become an eventual starter if he can continue his development.

The one-time option quarterback should be able to impress with his athletic testing during postseason workouts, but he still needs to keep adding play strength to be ready to handle NFL offensive linemen. Cominsky is built like a 3-4 defensive end and flashes potential to handle those types of run duties down the road. However, without more threat as a pass rusher, his NFL potential could be limited.

Clear-cut "tweener" lacking the quickness and rush of a defensive end and the mass of an interior tackle. Ledbetter has an ability to win with skill, technique and effort over traits and twitch, but that will become much more challenging on the next level unless he continues to get bigger and stronger. He doesn't offer rush value, but he plays hard and does his job. He should find work as a blue-collar backup defensive lineman with some flexibility between DE and DT, depending on scheme.

Interior rush specialist who combines quick, strong hands and lateral quickness to generate consistent pocket heat. Dogbe is an athletic rusher with a diverse rush approach which should play in his favor, but he may not be impactful enough against the run to rise beyond a backup level player with sub-rush potential. Teams could see Dogbe as a 4-3 base end or a 3-4 rush end depending on their scheme.

Good-looking defensive end with natural play strength who moves like a big, stand-up OLB in space. Roberts had three different head coaches during his tenure at Baylor and his game might have suffered some arrested development because of it, but he does flash enough to warrant consideration as a developmental prospect. With his height, weight and athleticism, he has a shot of hearing his name called on Day 3 and could be a prime candidate for the practice squad.

Davis is a good football player who just happens to be caught between positions due to his body type. He's not long enough or athletic enough to play an even front end and he likely needs at least 25 more pounds to prepare for a role as a three-technique in the pros. Even with additional weight, Davis will need to prove he can withstand the power and the down-blocks he will be facing. His efficient movement and balance into the gaps made for great college production, but it doesn't appear to be translatable to the pros due to his size.

Short, powerful edge defender with good eyes and instincts, but a lack of explosiveness and rush talent. His move to 3-4 stand-up rusher was unimpressive which is problematic since most figure that to be his NFL position. He has NFL awareness and power and his 2017 tape as a reduced rusher showed promise. While there isn't much draft buzz around Jefferson these days, his game could translate as a backup 4-3 base end with sup-rush potential inside.

Hard working edge defender who plays with good technique and toughness, but is hindered by his extremely long and leggy build. Kaufusi will need to add at least 20 pounds of muscle to help fill out his frame, but he will still be dealing with leverage concerns due to his height. He does a good job of taking on blockers in front of him in the run game, but his rush relies heavily on effort over go-to moves. His age and frame work against him, but he’s got a shot if he can get bigger and stronger.

Try-hard base end with the thickness of frame that might allow for a projection inside to three-technique for a 4-3 team. Turner has good length and strength at the point of attack and teams will know that he is going to give maximum effort on every snap. However, he lacks functional agility and athleticism to make enough plays and his inability to charge up the pocket as a rusher could make finding a roster spot a long-shot.

He has the size and length to draw interest, but a lack of explosiveness and below average ability to hold his ground against the run hurts his cause. Phillips was out of position at the 5 and 4i techniques in Tennessee's defense but had occasional flashes as a pure 4-3 defensive end. He's more project than prospect at this point, but additional muscle and technique could give him a roster shot down the road.

Three-year starter who has been on a steady incline as a pass rusher over the last three seasons. Jones plays with good leverage and adequate play strength at the point of attack, but his lack of length will be a concern against NFL size. Jones lacks explosiveness and suddenness so his play will need to be defined by power and hustle. Jones is a 4-3 base end who may have a chance of finding a practice squad where a team can try and develop his rush talent further.
