Linval Joseph DT East Carolina
Ht: 6'5
Wt: 328

Strengths:
Elite size and strength. Former state champion weight lifter in high school. Prototypical size and strength for a nose tackle. Impressive quickness for his size.
Weaknesses:
Very raw; should have stayed in school for his senior year. Doesn't hold up as well against double teams as you'd expect given his size; can be pushed around.
Comments:
Joseph is raw, but he's a hot prospected due to his size and strength. There simply aren't many players with his build that enter the draft each year. He has a high ceiling, but probably won't contribute right away. He's a risky pick, but could pay huge dividends down the road.
