Imposing space-eater with flashes of physical dominance against a level of competition that hasn't fully tested him. Elliss was a heralded prospect out of high school and began his career at Mississippi State before transferring to Idaho, where his dad (former Detroit Lion Luther Elliss) coached him up on the defensive line. He has the physical tools and power to make a living as a two-gapping, odd-front nose guard but will need to improve his technique and footwork to become a true tree stump in the middle against the run. Ellis has Day 3 potential with starting upside, but weight management will be very important for him.
Three-year starter with decent size and athletic traits but a lack of consistency in taking it to the offense. Both Walker's play and diagnosis lacks desired suddenness and he frequently plays a more reactive brand of football. He's not strong enough or talented enough to overtake blockers once he gets behind. His coverage talent and special teams background help, but they're probably not enough of a differentiator.
