OG TYLER BOOKER ALABAMA​

He is one of my favorite offensive linemen in this draft. He’s a mauler. He is a little limited in terms of athletic ability, but he works for the Cowboys as they try and get better up front. But why not receiver here? (Pete Prisco)

Overview​

Two-year starter and team captain with elite physical traits. Booker is a downhill run blocker with average explosiveness into first contact, but he utilizes his size and power to overtake defenders in the second phase of the block. He can play too far out over his toes but that’s correctable. Booker is an average athlete in protection but makes up for it with technique and football intelligence to defend against twists. He’s tough, smart and a top leader. The traits, football character and play strength will make him a good starter for a downhill, power-based attack.

Strengths​

• Prototypical size and girth with elite length and massive hands.
• Upper-body power and hip torque to turn defenders out of the gap.
• Has a feel for positioning and angles to wall-off blocks in space.
• Patient and controlled working up to second-level targets.
• Protects with good posture and smooth tempo in his mirror.
• Plays with great poise and recognition when twists and blitzes kick off.
• Able to uncoil lower half and set a sudden anchor in the pocket.

Weaknesses​

• Approaches too many blocks with outside hands.
• Absorbs rushers instead of consistently punching them.
• Average foot speed to ride or redirect rushers on his edge.
• Below-average lateral quickness and range as a run blocker.
• Needs to run feet under hands for better sustain.

DE Donovan Ezeiruaku Boston College​

Overview​

Slightly undersized outside linebacker for a 3-4 front with long arms and plus athleticism. Ezeiruaku uses every bit of his length paired with aggression to mitigate size differences at the point of attack. He gets engulfed at times but typically separates from or slips blocks cleanly. He’s quick off the snap, using bend and agility to win at the top of the rush or make stops in the backfield. His hands exploit small advantages to turn them into big ones and he has a variety of ways to challenge protection, though he’s still learning to craft his plans. Ezeiruaku’s play demeanor, skill and athletic talent are the underpinnings of a productive starter with three-down value.

Strengths​

• Smooth hips with easy change of direction in space.
• Long arms greet blocker with forceful punch in the chest.
• Slips quickly past blocks and makes plays in the backfield.
• Uses agility, recognition and athleticism to pile up tackles.
• Rushes with consistent forward lean and active hands.
• Bend to sink under the punch and corner the arc tightly.
• Makes sudden alteration to his rush track, using inside-out euro-step.
• Climbs right up on tackle’s toes before looping under on twists.
• Hits fluid arm-over transitions to beat protection inside.

Weaknesses​

• Works under the block and loses contain.
• Gets engulfed by size when blockers get into him.
• Size of tackles helps to wear down his rush energy.
• Lacks bull-rush power to collapse tackles into pockets.
• Rush plan needs more time to develop and diversify.
• Average pursuit speed and closing burst.

Rating: 85.00 (Pro Bowl potential)
Pro Comparison: Javon Solomon
Summary
Donovan Ezeiruaku is a smaller EDGE rusher with long limbs and a refined, technical approach to the game. He relies on a diverse set of hand moves -- cross chop, swipe and swim -- to win at the point of attack, combining them effectively with coordinated footwork. His burst is above average but not elite, and while his low center of gravity adds deceptive power, his bull rush still needs more strength to translate to the NFL.

Ezeiruaku’s athleticism is solid but not exceptional, with adequate quickness and flexibility but limited bend and twitch. Against the run, he competes hard but can be overwhelmed at the point of attack due to his smaller stature. His best fit is as a stand-up OLB in a 3-4 scheme, where added space can maximize his pass-rush repertoire and keep offensive tackles off balance.

While his physical ceiling is modest, Ezeiruaku’s advanced technique and football IQ make him a dependable contributor in the right system.

Strengths

CB SHAVON REVEL JR ECU​

By Lance Zierlein
NFL Analyst
Draft Projection
Rounds 1-2
NFL Comparison
Benjamin St-Juste

Overview​

Big, long and fast are the physical descriptors that stand out for the East Carolina corner. Revel is leggy when matching press release but he’s disruptive once he gets his hands on the wideout. He plays upright in man coverage, tends to allow small pockets of separation due to his high center of gravity and still needs improvement when it comes to finding and defending the deep ball, despite his ability to stay in phase with vertical routes. He has ideal length and good vision from zone, and he should continue to improve in that coverage with more experience. Revel suffered a torn ACL in September, but his measurables, explosiveness and upside give him a good chance to become an early starter.

Strengths​

• Enticing blend of length and top-end speed.
• Uses long arms to re-route wideout in press.
• Digests combination routes and comes out cleanly.
• Plays with ideal eye balance to make plays from zone.
• Uses long strides and plus acceleration to close the distance.
• Shrinks downfield landing areas with ability to stretch and extend.
• Willing to step up and stick his nose in as a tackler.

Weaknesses​

• Split high with long legs and a high center of gravity.
• Footwork and timing can get away from him when mirroring press release.
• Average balance and body control matching route breaks and stops.
• Relies too heavily on face-guarding instead of finding the football.
• Needs to improve pursuit angles and entry points as a tackler.
• Recovering from an ACL tear he suffered in September.

Rating: 86.05 (Pro Bowl potential)
Pro Comparison: Jamel Dean
Summary
Shavon Revel is a tall, long and imposing outside cornerback with a frame that naturally stands out. His straight-line speed is a clear asset, although his backpedal can get a bit high, slightly delaying his ability to drive and change direction. Despite this, his instincts are highly evident, as he often reacts to the quarterback's intentions quicker than others and tracks the ball in the air with ease. His height and arm length create an extensive pass-breakup radius, which is a critical strength in contested situations. While his press technique could improve, as he isn't as assertive as his size suggests, he has enough recovery ability to stay with receivers on intricate routes downfield. A linear athletic profile is evident, which limits some of the agility you'd expect, but his reasonable hip fluidity makes him effective near the boundary, particularly in zone coverage. He excels at handling vertical routes, using his instincts and length to close windows even when he isn’t in perfect position. Revel’s contributions in the run game are limited but dependable, with few missed tackles. There’s some rawness to his overall game, particularly in his footwork and twitch, which may not fit every team’s preference. However, his unique combination of size, speed and upside gives him plenty of developmental appeal as a boundary corner.
