Carolina Panthers
Round 1 • Pick 7
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Defensive tackle with rare combination of size and disruptive traits who frequently bludgeoned inferior competition across from him. Brown's snap quickness allows him to take muddy running lanes by re-setting the line of scrimmage. He has the ability to power into gaps, but he really shines when he drops his anchor to stall double-teams or punch, press and prey on runners as a two-gapper. Brown's upright rush style means he might be more of a pressure rusher than a sack-man, but he should keep improving as a rusher with more dedication to the craft. He could become a high-impact starter early in his career with an All-Pro ceiling and good starter floor.

Round 1 • Pick 14
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
For a player with so many elite physical traits, Kinlaw's tape was much more inconsistent than expected. He had moments where he was able to use his size, length and power to overwhelm opponents, but poor pad level and an inability to harness his energy coming off the snap led to body control and balance issues that prevented him from reaching his full potential. He can be a disruptive force along the interior with that explosive first step and freaky physical gifts, but utilizing his heavy hands and plus length as a read-and-react 3-4 end might allow for improved technique, control and consistency. No matter the front, Kinlaw's traits and potential could make him a solid starter early in his career.

Round 2 • Pick 8
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Flashes menacing disruptive qualities as a gap seeker, but is just ordinary when forced to sit and take on blocks. Blacklock rebounded from a 2018 Achilles injury and showed off basketball quickness that was often too much for a single blocker. However, his technique and hand usage need work, as he's inconsistent holding the point and keeping his feet. He's a hit-or-miss run defender, but he's a relentless pass rusher with elite lateral quickness and change of direction to exploit interior galoots and open pathways to the pocket. Blacklock needs development as a one-gapping three-technique with rare movement talent and intriguing rush potential.

Round 3 • Pick 24
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Skilled hand-fighter with explosive upper body strength to stack, read and react in an odd or even front. Elliott has experience in a variety of alignments, allowing teams to move him up and down the line depending on matchups. He's more consistent controlling gaps than shooting them and has moments when the motor cools and he doesn't finish. He was highly respected by opposing teams and faced additional help as a pass rusher. He'll face more one-on-one looks as a pro and could take a big jump forward as a rusher if he keeps working to add moves and counters to go with his early push. Elliott is scheme-diverse and offers high upside with the talent to become a starter in Year 1 or 2.

Round 2 • Pick 24
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Rugged and powerful with elite physical traits, Davis has the ability to impose his will on opponents and dominate at the point of attack. He plays long and strong with rare leverage for a taller player and holds positioning against double teams for linebackers to flow freely. He was all over the backfield in 2017, but hasn't made nearly as many plays -- against the run or pass -- since then. Despite possessing unique traits and the potential to dominate, his upside could be a moving target based upon maturity level and continued growth as a rusher. He should be a first-round pick who can come in and start right away for an odd or even front defense.

Round 3 • Pick 7
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Undersized early-entry defensive tackle who lacks NFL mass but gets wins with leverage, strength and quickness. Madubuike played in front of blockers in college but is more likely to be schemed as a moving target whose quickness and athletic ability can benefit him. He's not overly explosive off the snap, so getting on top of blockers with quickness could be the difference between surviving and thriving. Madubuike projects as a rotational one-gapping tackle with upward mobility, but the floor is a little lower, due to size and scheme limitations.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
When the tape is on, it's impossible not to notice Jones making things tough for SEC offensive linemen. He possesses average power at the point of attack but can really be disruptive when he's actively attacking the gaps. He may have issues with contact balance and anchor against NFL double-teams, so scheme fit might matter. He's an even-front shade nose who can step into an early rotational role, but has the potential to become a future starter with adequate rush potential to boot.

Round 4 • Pick 8
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Fotu was put into position to try to make plays in the Utah scheme, but with his massive frame and natural strength, he's much more likely to be groomed as a two-gapping, odd-front nose. His athletic ability is fairly impressive for his size, but his impact in the biggest games felt a little overstated after studying tape. He needs to play with better bend and more consistent anchor to squeeze the interior and fulfill his potential as a run-plugger. His draft value could be capped because he's an early down player who offers no real rush value.

Round 3 • Pick 18
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Flash talent whose tape has moments but fails to fully deliver. Gallimore goes hard from snap to whistle with secondary effort that brings decent production, but his NFL potential may be limited by a lack of leverage and contact balance. Oklahoma had him playing in the gaps but he might be more effective improving his hands and learning to two-gap. Unless he turns the flashes into a finished product, his future may be as a rotation tackle in an even front.

Round 3 • Pick 9
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Athletic 4-3 tackle who stacked good tape in back-to-back seasons and should garner consideration as a rotational interior lineman with eventual starter potential. He does a nice job of creating leverage with his initial strike and has the athleticism and closing burst to hound running backs with an extended pursuit radius. He flashes needed traits as both a one- and two-gapper, but better skill with his hand-fighting could help unlock quicker wins and clearer paths to the quarterback. His draft stock could be tied to how teams view his upside as a pass rusher.

Round 6 • Pick 15
PLAYER ANALYSIS
The more polished and disruptive of the Davis twins from Nebraska, Khalil's agility and lateral quickness improve his standing as a run defender and pass rusher. He lacks the broad frame and length needed to hold his ground, so effort and quickness will need to be his calling card. He has speed, which shows up with short-area pursuit and closing burst, but his short-area athleticism is just average. He may be limited by scheme, but has enough three-down talent to warrant consideration as a Day 3 pick and potential backup.

Round 5 • Pick 29
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Early into his evaluation, it's hard to get past the tight lower body that restricts his upfield and lateral strides with his feet barely leaving the ground. As the tape rolls on, it's impossible not to notice his motor and that he's always around the ball and rarely on the ground. Murchison has the ability to battle through blocks and come out well-oriented and ready to make plays. He's quick to process and respond, but doesn't have great closing burst and lateral agility. He thrives in smaller spaces with less ground to cover and should become a good rotational three-technique for a 4-3 defense.

Round 5 • Pick 25
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Durable three-year starter and two-time team captain with leadership and dirt-dog mentality that defensive coaches will love. He's a little undersized but punches above his weight with grown man strength and a desire to play with force. He plays with some tightness in his lower half, which limits his short-area agility and playmaking range. Washington can feel the blocking scheme and attacks it with aggressive hands and upper-body power to fight and counter base blocks. He has below-average size and length and doesn't offer NFL rush value, but he has rotational value as a shade nose or three-technique in a 4-3 scheme.

Round 3 • Pick 31
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Agim is a work in progress with only one season as a full-time defensive tackle after playing defensive end previously. While his technique and fundamentals are still in a developmental stage as an interior defender, elements like hand placement and ball awareness are expected at defensive end, so it is a little disappointing they are behind. He has snap quickness to become a better one-gap penetrator and rush talent to build upon if he can attack with a better plan and more urgency. He's not strong enough to withstand NFL power at the point of attack so development of strength and technique will be critical if he is to become a rotational 4-3 defensive tackle.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Plays with dog mentality and is ready to turn any rep into a street fight if he needs to. Lawrence's leadership and toughness stand out on the defensive side of the ball. He plays with pain and never shortchanges teammates in the effort department. He needs to play with better control of his feet and motor to improve consistency and balance at the point of attack. He can get some pocket push going from time to time but is likely to come off the field on passing downs. If his medicals check out, he could become a solid rotational defensive lineman.

Grade will likely be tied to specific positional fit for each organization. Williams is long-legged and plays with below-average bend and twitch. He struggles to hold the point versus angle blocks but shows an ability to get skinny and disrupt in the backfield. He's not as long as he looks but has versatility to play in odd or even fronts at a variety of spots. His bull rush generates pocket push and might translate, but he needs to keep adding strength and counters to diversify his rush plan. He's a backup-caliber interior defender worthy of a Day 3 selection.

Clark doesn't have the body type or classic body control of a wide-body interior defender, but his length and tenacity are effective in helping him recover through early disadvantages. Lower-body tightness will hinder his pad level and his ability to sit down against angle blocks, but he has the quickness and understanding of angles to slip his way between gaps. He played in a variety of alignments at Georgia and could fit into a backup role in either odd or even fronts, but his lack of consistent pass rush limits his upside.

Compact three-technique who plays with explosive power to make up for his average quickness. Tart isn't slow or unathletic, but he doesn't have the first-step quickness to be a disruptive gap-shooter or consistent pass rusher. He can be a little inconsistent with the timing and placement of his hands, but he has the power and leverage to control single blocks with better technique. Tart can be a slow starter but a strong finisher from rep to rep. His upside and brand of nasty could give him a chance to find NFL work at some point.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Roy made a name for himself with his surprising athleticism and surge of activity and production. Contact balance and upper-body power are above average but short arms diminish consistency of effectiveness at the point of attack. Snap quickness and pad level could continue to create some disruptive opportunities as a pro. He needs to play in a scheme that puts him on the move to take advantage of his quickness and diminishes the need for hand-to-hand combat against NFL size. Roy has shown an ability to play the run and pass. His athletic traits could open the door to a back-end roster spot as a backup 4-3 nose.

Backup nose tackle with the girth and anchor to clog the drain as a run-stopper. Penisini can twitch and club off the snap for occasional early wins or punch, extend and two-gap when needed. He has massive, violent hands and quality upper-body strength but will find the going much tougher against bigger, stronger competition. He has lower body strength to push into the pocket once he gets to an edge, but he doesn't offer much rush value. He has backup potential as an early-down nose for odd or even front schemes.

Girthy 4–3 nose with the wrestling background foreshadowing his core strength and quick shed ability. He lacks the length and technique to consistently control the gaps as a run-stuff tree stump, but does play with enough power to make him a factor. He is unlikely to hit the field on passing downs but can challenge as a pass rusher when teams single-block him. His size and length are a little below average as a run-plugger, but his pure power could appeal as an undrafted free agent with rotational potential.

He doesn't have the imposing physique of former teammate Javon Kinlaw, but Smith played with the strength and grit to hold his own at the point of attack nonetheless. The ability to sit down and anchor against double-teams and go power for power against single blocks is one of his most endearing qualities. He lacks body control and lateral quickness and doesn't offer much range as a playmaker when forced to play on the move. He offers no value as a pass rusher, which could put a hard cap on his overall value, but his run defense gives him a chance at earning a roster spot in the future.

While Roach did what was asked of him at Texas, it was rare that you could feel his presence in terms of taking over a game or even a half. He's a short-limbed, tight-legged defender with natural power and some funk in his hands. Roach needs an efficient pathway to the backfield and is better-suited as a gapping 3-technique or maybe even a shade nose if he can add good mass on his frame. The lack of length and below-average pass rush is a concern, but a move inside should bolster his chances of making a roster or practice squad as a rotational interior defender in an upfield 4-3 scheme.

Marino is a weight-room monster with good fluidity of movement for a big man, but "big man" is a relative term. He lacks the desired frame of an NFL interior lineman and the length to play 3-4 end. Might see his NFL aspirations come to an end at that position. However, his athleticism and toughness could prompt teams to grade him as a 3-4 outside 'backer just as the Steelers did in 2015 with Anthony Chickillo, who was a defensive tackle coming out of Miami. If he can slim down to a reasonable weight, he might have a career as a backup 3-4 outside linebacker and special teams worker bee.

Hardworking interior prospect whose upper-body power and lower-body anchor seem to be slightly mismatched. Whatley comes off the snap with low pads and early pop to rock blockers off balance. He can be disruptive against the run, but lacks the contact balance and anchor to stand his ground against down blocks. The aggression level and motor are a plus and he gives admirable effort to extend his charge as a pass rusher. He's below average from a traits standpoint, but might have the play strength and athletic flashes to garner an extended look in camp.

It's said that a good big man beats a good little man, and that will likely be the case for Costin in the pros. His loose, athletic movement skill has allowed for consistent production in all three years he's started. He plays well on the move getting into gaps, attacks the pocket as a rusher and makes tackles well outside his home base. However, struggles against Ohio State's length and power could be a sign of future issues for him. The lack of size/mass to hold up inside could be a challenge he can't overcome. His functional strength and athletic rush potential could appeal as an undrafted free agent for an even front in a gap-attacking scheme.

Round 6 • Pick 14
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Undersized interior lineman who lacks explosive quickness and power to compensate for his lack of mass. Windsor doesn't carry a very broad frame, so he might have issues packing on good weight to withstand the rigors of the NFL game. He has decent initial quickness, is agile and plays with motor, but he has only one year of flash production (2018) and has just 48 solo tackles in 51 career games. Undersized interior linemen without a great pass rush have a hard time sticking around for long so he'll need to get bigger and better with his hands to have a shot at making a team.

The tape simply isn't good enough for McSwain to be considered a draftable prospect, but NFL teams love long-levered defenders with a frame for additional size, so he will be on some radars. He can bend and move with fluidity, but lacks twitch and desired change of direction as an athlete. The length is great, but it doesn't populate the tape as a dominant trait often enough in the run game or as a rusher. Seemed out of position as an even front defensive tackle and might need to be viewed as a 3-4 defensive end where he can avoid some of the down-blocks and double-teams that pushed him around.

Athletic defensive lineman lacking core strength and body type for a clean positional fit in an odd- or even-front defense. His snap quickness and long lateral slides offer disruptive potential in a one-gapping front, but he's missing the size and consistency to handle himself against NFL power.

His pass rush lacks explosiveness and skill to get quick wins, which could make his path to the pros more clouded.

However, once the tape starts rolling, it becomes difficult to find enough flashes against the run or as a pass rusher to project him on the NFL level.

Davis has NFL heft on the scales, but he's short-armed and plays too straight-legged, rendering his size much less effective than it should be. He has some pop at the point of attack when he's first with his hands, but he's just not as quick off the snap as he needs to be. He has his share of wins against opponents when he's playing in a phone booth, but his batting average of effectiveness plummets when he's forced to play on the move. He's not a plus run defender and offers no value as a rusher, so finding a fit will be tough.

Avery has excellent size. He showed that he possesses NFL athletic traits and power at his pro day. However, the tape was fairly disappointing relative to the potential he possesses. Explosiveness off the snap and his natural upper-body power were often canceled out by a lack of instincts and technique. While he had much better physical tools than his opponents, the effort level and urgency left much to be desired. His traits should make him a priority free agent, but his inability to produce at a higher level against his level of competition is a major red flag.
