- Israel Mukuamu, CB, South Carolina (227th Overall)
- Matt Farniok, OL, Nebraska (238th Overall)
For me it’s OSA Odighizuwa. They really need to improve along the defensive line, especially DT. He’s a 3rd round pick so hoping he can play well enough to be a starter.
1)
Parson - because he's our top pick, a projected top 10 overall pick, most hopeful rookie impact, and eventual leader of the defense.
2)
Joseph- based off successful feat vs WR DeVante Smith; 4.35 speed/athleticism and INT ball hawk skills; (4 INTs his final year)
3)
Cox - smallish but athletic LB with knack for coverage/turnovers, Could this be Darrin Smith or Coakley like LB ?
4)
Simi Fehoko - size/physicality mismatch for most DBs, plus 4.37 vertical speed; seek 4th WR role over Wilson
5)
Osa - supposedly underrated run defender for his size, can fit 3-4 (end) or 4-3 (3 tech) dunno if he starts or rotation rookie year
6)
Bohanna NT/1 tech type; Size-bulk and game welcomed, i just dunno how often he plays in spots/contribute his rookie year.
7)
Wright ? what role for him rookie year ? .3rd CB ?.. 4th CB ? Could be INT machine that has to be on field but too tall-lanky for slot CB.
8)
Gholston; One poster made comparisons to undrafted Mike Bennett who successfully flipped DE-DT on occasional; ..If only
9)
Ball - Only highlights, scouting reports to go by; Athletic/mean streak, very iffy with his past domestic issues; maybe too raw-rookie for emergency backup play in '21.
10)
Mukuamu- Not fond hearing lack of physicality rep; shows on tape., Supposed INT ball hawks, could be Practice Squader
11)
Farniok - Oddly took remaining center snaps in OTAs, will be tested most in TC/preseason. otherwise hes' PS candidate .
