Updated rankings and short form review of the DE/DT and OLB/ILB lists, for those who don't want to read my novel-length reports.
Charles Harris (smoothest pass rusher in draft; tape >>>> testing; natural mover)
Derek Barnett (best bend around corner; nice hands; broke Reggie White's sack record)
Taco Charlton (Chandler Jones redux; still developing; great frame; untapped potential)
Jordan Willis (technician; powerful; disciplined and deliberate; great athlete; needs to play fast)
Inside/outside:
DeMarcus Walker (slow but huge production; high character; coaches pet; Trey Flowers 2.0)
Chris Wormley (versatile and disruptive; best athlete no one talks about)
2nd
DE:
Tarell Basham (plays with physicality and edge; natural pass rusher; board favorite)
Carl Lawson (fire hydrant; short and powerful; linear rusher with stack & shed prowess)
Derek Rivers (small school but extremely refined; nice hands; twitchy)
DT:
Montravius Adams (raw but athletic; nice upfield burst)
Jaleel Johnson (plays fast, tests slow; exceptional hand techniques; brawler; sack production)
Larry Ogunjobi (quick, explosive, excellent conditioning, unrelenting effort)
3rd / 4th
DE:
Ifeadi Odenigbo (powerful; unbelievable bull rush; mature and coachable; binkie alert)
Daeshon Hall (perfect frame/testing numbers; doesn't play like it; needs to learn to use hands)
Keionta Davis (big, tough, productive; physically dominates; questions re: level of competition)
Trey Hendrickson (fast and twitchy, but thinks he's faster than he is; finesse; prima dona?)
Deatrich Wise (big & strong, long arms; pushes the pocket; doesn't really threaten edge)
DT:
Tanoh Kpassagnon (speed rusher trapped in a DT's body; should add bulk and slide inside)
Eddie Vanderdoes (injuries led to mediocre tape; now healthy, shows explosive burst)
5th / 7th
DE:
Fadol Brown (discount Deatrich Wise; great frame, powerful, not overly dynamic)
Tashawn Bower (smart; average size/speed/production; executes scheme/does his job)
Isaac Rochell (meat & potatoes player; not a star, but should be high-level backup for a decade)
Cameron Malveaux (size/speed player with unrefined skill set but flashes of explosive power)
DT:
Grover Stewart (enormous; shocking athleticism/movement skills; low level of competition?)
Josh Augusta (massive mountain of man; lost 50 pounds after thyroid diagnosis; Branch 2.0?)
UDFA:
DE:
Hunter Dimick (15 sacks; hustle player; squatty body type lacking bend; chip on shoulder)
Garrett Sickels (declared too early; lacks explosion; decent technician; can play a little)
Josh Carraway (undersized but quick; effort player; may need to play standing up)
DT:
Patrick Ricard (explosive pass rushing 3-tech with active hands and huge motor)
Josh Tupou (prototypical NT; little lateral movement; meat shield for linebackers)
LB:
1st / 2nd
OLB:
Haason Reddick (cat-like quickness; tough player; productive against pass/run; can rush passer, cover, take on TEs and pulling guards, etc; super binkie)
Tyus Bowser (size/athleticism compares to Jamie Collins; injury hampered production)
TJ Watt (could be listed as an EDGE; similar to Mark Anderson; undersized?)
ILB:
Haason Reddick (can play any LB position; listed twice because he's that good
)
Jarrad Davis (compared by some to Ray Lewis; emotional leader, but needs seasoning)
Raekwon McMillan (steady player with some versatility; long-term starter but not pro bowler)
3rd / 4th
OLB:
Samson Ebukam (Reddick clone; will go higher than expected; Patriots show interest; binkie)
Ryan Anderson (plays all LB roles in 34/43; teammates rave about him; fiery in practice)
Vince Biegel (discount TJ Watt; nearly identical on tape at Wisconsin)
Carroll Phillips (blitzer, try-hard type, some explosive qualities; lacking in bulk)
ILB:
Jordan Evans (man2man cover skills; nose for ball; some struggles against the run)
Kendall Beckwith (injury special; sturdy, dependable; blitzer; old school LB only?)
Eric Wilson (excellent instincts; productive; could play safety; favorite coverage LB)
Harvey Langi (bounced between LB, RB, and DE; size/speed guy; raw with big upside)
Duke Riley (fast; true sideline-to-sideline player; better against pass than run)
Chase Allen (good size, excellent instincts, plays fast, shows up against run/pass)
5th - 7th
OLB:
Darius English (size/speed prospect; flashes on tape; washed out against run)
Jimmie Gilbert (rail thin, almost frail looking; good blitzer; covers WRs sometimes)
Evan Schwan (battled every injury in the book; hard worker; ideal size/speed with considerable upside if healthy)
Keion Adams (in the same mold as Ebukam and Reddick, but less dynamic/productive)
ILB:
Richie Brown (coverage ace -- recorded 3 INTs in one game; nice athlete)
James Onwualu (ST; team leader; Matt Patricia met with him personally)
Blair Brown (plus athlete, undersized, competition level concerns)
Ben Gedeon (leader of defense; productive; lacks some dynamic qualities)
