DE Rotation with Potential

233. Omar Speights LB LSU
Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 225 lbs |RAS: 7.95

Omar Speights logged over 300 total tackles in his career at Oregon State, before transferring to LSU. He's been underrated across that entire span, and he's one of the 2024 NFL Draft's biggest sleepers.
At 6'1", 237 pounds, Speights is a rocked-up second-level defender with impressive mass. That mass amounts to great play strength both as a block destructor and a tackler. But Speights also brings quality burst, range, and short-area agility as a coverage defender, and he's very instinctive when managing the middle of the field.

244. Carter Bradley QB South Alabama
Height: 6 - 3 |Weight: 213 lbs |RAS: 8.5

• While he’s not a burner, Bradley has enough athleticism and speed to make plays with his legs when he takes off as a runner.
• Very confident passer and shows good accuracy and feel when in rhythm. Showed better ball placement from past years and throws very catchable passes. Puts too much air in some of his throws and needs to show a lower trajectory on deep throws.
• Mentally, he was able to make checks at the line of scrimmage and manage the run game.
• Ball placement is a strength. Bradley has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
• Good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally.
• Physically, he is a natural athlete who plays with the balance and light feet to float in the pocket.
