| EDGE1 | Will Anderson Jr. | EDGE |  Alabama | 6'4" | 253 | 33.875" | 4.60 | -- | -- | 98 | 65 | 4.5 | 94.3 | Three-year starter in the SEC and dominant from the moment he took the field. Primarily wins with an elite burst off the edge. Won so consistently with speed that he didn’t show an extensive array of pass-rush moves. Converts speed to power relatively well. Skill set will immediately produce results against most NFL tackles, but he will need to refine his arsenal of moves and add some functional strength to ascend to an elite level in the NFL. Shows off his football IQ versus the run. Has the discipline and anticipation skills to be a high-level run defender. Speed allows him to make plays from behind. Provided he maintains a strong work ethic and avoids injury, there’s simply no scenario in which he fails 一 he already has the skill set of a quality starter on the edge. |
| EDGE2 | Tyree Wilson | EDGE |  Texas Tech | 6'6" | 271 | 35.625" | -- | -- | -- | 99 | 60 | 3.5 | 92.8 | Three-star recruit who originally attended Texas A&M, transferring to Texas Tech after redshirt-freshman year. Listed at 230 points as a recruit, so the slow development to his career was partially a result of the need to fill out his frame. Massive build and dangerous length 一 nearly impossible for linemen to get into pads and lock on. Size/strength/speed combination gives him incredible versatility 一 stayed on the edge in college, but has the potential to shift inside on passing downs as well. Decent athlete, but lacks an elite burst 一 seeks out contact and primarily wins with pure power. Has the mindset that he’s going to run right through you to your quarterback. High upside as a run defender due to his size, but needs to be more disciplined setting the edge. Expect him to produce as a pass-rusher immediately and to dominate certain matchups, but he still needs some work to get his fundamentals up to the level of his raw size and talent. |
| EDGE3 | Lukas Van Ness | EDGE |  Iowa | 6'5 | 272 | 34" | 4.58 | 7.02 | 31" | 96 | 58 | 3.5 | 90.0 | Entering draft as a redshirt-sophomore. Technically never started a game, but led all Iowa defensive linemen in snaps in 2022. Played almost exclusively on the interior defensive line in 2021, but took on a more versatile role in 2022 and shined when lined up on the edge. Per Sports Info Solutions, ranked third in Big Ten in pressure rate generated both on the edge and on the interior. Versatility is reminiscent of last year’s number-one pick Travon Walker, only LVN has more proven production as an edge rusher. Lacks elite speed, but has an explosive first step and converts speed to power exceptionally well. Consistently wins the leverage battle. Winning with power at a young age bodes well for a smooth transition to the NFL, as he should continue to get stronger. |
| EDGE4 | Nolan Smith | EDGE |  Georgia | 6'2" | 238 | 32.625" | 4.39 | -- | 41.5" | 96 | 50 | 4 | 88.5 | Two-year starter who saw significant action all four years at Georgia. Physical tools of a linebacker/edge hybrid in the Micah Parsons mold 一 however, the inverse of Parsons in terms of college experience, having played exclusively on the edge. Explosive off the edge and wins with speed. Great bend. Excels at making himself small, he’s a real challenge for bigger tackles. No power to his game 一 once engaged with a lineman his pass-rush is stalled. Football IQ jumps out in the run game. Sees the plays developing like a savvy veteran and is consistently creating problems in the backfield. Limited experience in coverage and it shows 一 will need time to develop if he’s ask to take on a more versatile role. Missed end of 2022 with torn pectoral muscle. Should be treated as a three-down player with immediate starting potential, but you’ll want to use his versatility to his advantage to move him around and create ideal matchups. |
| EDGE5 | BJ Ojulari | EDGE |  LSU | 6'2" | 248 | 34.25" | -- | -- | 32.5" | 92 | 46 | 2 | 82.5 | Productive edge-rusher with a polished pass-rush repertoire. Good size and length but doesn’t play with as much power as you’d expect. Wins with his speed off the edge. Lack of power also shows up in his run defense. Might be a pass-rush specialist, especially early in his career. Turned 21 in April, so his lack of power may simply be explained by the fact he’s still filling out his frame. Will have more immediate value if he’s able to operate as standup edge-rusher, but still has developmental value for a team relying on 4-3 alignments. Brother of Azeez Ojulari. Limited by hamstring injury at combine |
| EDGE6 | Myles Murphy | EDGE |  Clemson | 6'4" | 268 | 33.75" | -- | -- | -- | 92 | 45 | 2 | 82.3 | Five-star recruit with obvious NFL traits. Three-year starter and still only 21 years old. Disappointing production considering his traits and the elite talent around him at Clemson. Impact as a freshman was impressive given his age, but he showed no progress from that point forward. Typically tries to win with speed 一 and he’s quick for his size, but his speed won’t consistently threaten top-tier NFL tackles. When his speed rush is stalled, he lacks a secondary plan of attack. Must develop a reliable inside counter move 一 it will be necessary for him to win NFL. Disruptive run defender, with the anticipation skills to cause problems in the backfield. Should be viewed as a high-upside prospect who could be a valuable three-down defender, but definitely needs to time to fine tune his pass-rush. |
| EDGE7 | Tuli Tuipulotu | EDGE |  USC | 6'3" | 266 | 32.25" | -- | -- | -- | 83 | 56 | 4 | 80.3 | Arrived as USC as an undersized defensive tackle, bulked up to 290 and then dropped weight and shifted to edge. It’s unclear what weight he played at last season, but he appears to have the option to bulk up and serve as an interior pass-rusher or try to keep his weight down and stay on the edge. He wins with power and leverage. Has a nice burst off the snap and converts speed to power well. Does not appear to have the lower body strength to consistently hold up at the point of attack against the run, but does a nice job shooting gaps and disrupting the backfield. Probably lacks the elite traits necessary to be a top-tier edge-rusher, but should be a reliable complementary pass-rusher. Turns 21 in September. |
| EDGE8 | Isaiah McGuire | EDGE |  Missouri | 6'4" | 268 | 33.875" | 4.76 | 7.39 | 36.5" | 77 | 50 | 4 | 74.3 | Three-year starter who wins with a balanced combination of length, strength and athleticism. Doesn’t turn 22 until August and has shown steady growth 一 appears to be an ascending talent. Lacks an elite burst off the snap, but has the speed to close quickly and convert pressures to sacks. Projects best as a left defensive end in four-man fronts where he’ll excel at setting the edge against the run, and provide enough of a pass-rush threat to stay on the field on passing downs. |
| EDGE9 | Will McDonald IV | EDGE |  Iowa State | 6'3" | 239 | 34.875" | -- | -- | 36" | 77 | 50 | 3 | 73.3 | Spent five years at Iowa State, playing a significant role his final three seasons. Productive pass-rush numbers in 2020 and 2021 but fell off a cliff in his final season. Not much power to his game, relies heavily on his burst off the snap. Might lack the functional strength to be an asset against the run. Turns 24 in June. Given his athleticism and length, the pass-rush ceiling is high and he should provide immediate value even if he’s a pass-rush specialist. |
| EDGE10 | Zach Harrison | EDGE |  Ohio State | 6'5 | 274 | 36.25" | -- | -- | -- | 74 | 48 | 1.5 | 69.0 | Two-year starter who will still be 21-years-old on draft day. Crazy physical traits, most notably his incredible length. Elite potential for setting the edge given his strength/length. Not really an explosive pass-rusher, but consistently generates slow pressures due to his size 一 there just aren’t many offensive tackles who can gain the leverage to completely shut him down. Safest bet would be to use him as a defensive end in three-man fronts, but given his age it’s worth trying to unlock more explosive potential to see if he can develop into a more effective pass-rusher. Versatility to play in multiple fronts will be viewed as an asset for certain teams. |
| EDGE11 | YaYa Diaby | EDGE |  Louisville | 6'3" | 263 | 33.875" | 4.51 | -- | 37" | 76 | 38 | 2 | 68.5 | Versatile lineman, who primarily played on the interior for Louisville but has experience on the edge as well. Profile fits that of someone who could stay on the edge on early downs and shift inside on passing downs. Consistently wins the leverage battle. Interior pass-rush production in the ACC compared favorably to Calijah Kancey. Too small for a full time role on the interior in the NFL, though he also has good length for the interior and it shows in his play. On the edge, he mostly wins with power, which may not translate to NFL. Will be a 24-year-old rookie. |
| EDGE12 | Derick Hall | EDGE |  Auburn | 6'3" | 254 | 34.5" | 4.55 | -- | 33.5" | 66 | 52 | 3.5 | 66.0 | Pure pass-rusher who wins with his burst off the snap and converts speed to power well. Long arms for his height, and he uses that combination to generate good leverage and walk tackles back into the pocket. Probably makes his mark as a pass-rusher in sub packages. Team captain and a leader coaches will love. |
| EDGE13 | Dylan Horton | EDGE |  TCU | 6'4" | 257 | 33.125" | -- | -- | 34" | 66 | 50 | 3 | 65.0 | Spent two years at New Mexico before transferring to TCU for three seasons. Versatile lineman with experience on the interior and the edge. Dominant performances against Kansas State (Big 12 title game) and Michigan (CFP) really solidified his status as a legit prospect. Quick enough to win as a pass-rusher on the interior and has enough strength/length to win on the edge as well. Could be someone who sets the edge on early downs and shifts inside on passing downs. Versatility will be extremely attractive to certain teams and elevates his stock 一 even if he’s never a starter, there’s a lot of value in a versatile guy in the rotation. |
| EDGE14 | Andre Carter II | EDGE | #N/A | 6'6" | 256 | 33.375" | -- | -- | 30" | 70 | 45 | 1 | 64.8 | Two-year starter at Army with incredible production in 2021. Pressure rate actually increased in 2022, despite his sack total dropping from 15.5 to 3.5. Saw more double teams in 2022 and lacks the strength to handle the extra attention. Ideal build in terms of height/length, but paired with ordinary athleticism. Primarily played in a two-point stance, but will likely add weight in NFL and could shift into a new role. Given modest athletic traits, if he’s able to add weight he might be best suited as an end in three-man fronts 一 but that will require time in an NFL weight room. Purely a developmental prospect who won’t offer much in 2023. |
| EDGE15 | Felix Anudike-Uzomah | EDGE |  Kansas State | 6'3" | 255 | 33.5" | -- | -- | -- | 68 | 38 | 2 | 62.5 | Two-year starter who doesn’t turn 21 until January. Lacks ideal size and length and probably doesn’t have anymore room to fill out 一 was an undersized recruit also and seems to have maxed out his frame. High energy player who feasted on lesser competition but didn’t maintain that production against his tougher assignments. Size and functional strength may cause teams to view him as a pass-rush specialist but he lacks the dynamic athleticism to be a top-tier threat in that area. It’s possible he would benefit from dropping weight again in an effort to become more flexible and dynamic off the edge. |
| EDGE16 | Keion White | EDGE |  Georgia Tech | 6'5 | 285 | 34" | -- | -- | 34" | 70 | 30 | 1 | 61.0 | Spent three seasons at Old Dominion, two as a tight end. Converted to defensive end in 2019, sat out the 2020 season, then spent final two years at Georgia Tech. He’s six years removed from high school and spent four years (three seasons of playing) on the defensive side of the ball already. Flashed some production in 2022, but heavily skewed towards bad competition (three sacks vs UNC, which ranked 120th in pressure rate allowed, per Sports Info Solutions). Purely a project who has some interesting traits, but he’s more of a straight-line athlete who offers limited pass-rush upside. Probably fits best as an end in three-man fronts. |
| EDGE17 | Isaiah Foskey | EDGE |  Notre Dame | 6'5 | 264 | 34" | 4.58 | 7.28 | 34" | 62 | 35 | 2.5 | 57.8 | Two-year starter who posted big numbers, but mostly feasted on low-level competition. In 2022, nearly half (42%) of his pressure came against Cal and UNC (ranked 108th and 120th in pressure rate allowed, per Sports Info Solutions. In four games against teams ranked in the top-50 he generated just four pressures and an abysmal 4.1% pressure rate. Stiff athlete who may not be able to turn the corner against more athletic NFL tackles. Length and size give him the traits to potentially be developed into a more effective edge-rusher with better technique. Potentially could add some weight and play end in three-man fronts where his modest athletic traits would not be a hindrance. |
| EDGE18 | K.J. Henry | EDGE | Clemson | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | 58 | 40 | 4 | 57.5 | 24-year-old who didn’t ascend to a starting role until 2022. Probably lacks the functional strength to be a three-down defender and will likely see more action on passing downs. Straight-line athlete who’s capable of winning with his burst off the snap. Intelligent player who does a lot of the little things well, like getting arms into passing lanes. Projects as an adequate rotational piece, who probably fits better as an edge in three-man fronts. |
| EDGE19 | Mike Morris | EDGE |  Michigan | 6'5 | 275 | 33.5" | 4.95 | -- | 28.5" | 60 | 40 | 1.5 | 56.5 | |
| EDGE20 | Byron Young (Tenn) | EDGE |  Tennessee | 6'2" | 250 | 32.5" | 4.43 | 7.19 | 38" | 58 | 32 | 2 | 53.5 | 25-year old who was briefly out of football in 2019, two years removed from high school. Played at Georgia Military Academy before landing at Tennessee in 2021. Wins as a pass-rusher with a quick first step and converts speed to power fairly well. Lacks counter moves once he stalls out. Liability in the run game 一 just doesn’t have the anchor to set the edge. Blend of athleticism and power gives him potential as a pass-rusher in subpackages but his issues against the run sets a narrow path to playing time. |
| EDGE21 | D.J. Johnson | EDGE |  Oregon | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | 60 | 25 | 2 | 53.3 | Spent six years in college (one at Miami FL, five at Oregon) and didn’t earn a starting role in 2022. Started career on defense, then briefly played tight end at Oregon before moving back to full time defense in 2022. Turns 25 in during his rookie year. Ideal blend of speed and length for the edge. Tends to win with pure speed, but lacks a refined plan of attack. Ideal traits to develop, but teams will be cautious about investing in a 25-year-old with limited immediate value. Limited special teams experience hurts his chances of sticking on a roster. |
