2023 NFL Draft Defensive Line Prospects

 
Will Anderson DE Alabama
6036 253 4.6 Junior
Elite traits for a edge rusher. First step and bend are sensational. 31 sacks in three years.  Tough against the run as well. My # 2 overall player.

Myles Murphy DE Clemson
6050 268 4.52 25 31" 7.22 4.28 Junior
A true 4-3 end. Good first step and bend. Not elite. Tough against the run and plays with a strong motor. Gets confused on assignment. When he can just go he is a game wrecker. 20 sacks in the three years he played at Clemson. PFF had him at 17.8% pass-rush win rate. Top 10 pick.

Tyree Wilson DE/DT Texas Tech
6061 271 23 reps
Not a speed edge rusher. Extremely strong and powerful. Long arms and a good motor. He would play the Josh Paschal/John Cominsky position for the Lions. He graded with astounding 22.6% pass-rush win rate from PFF. Coming off a foot injury. Top 10 pick

Keion White DE/DT Georgia Tech
6046 281 4.79 30 34" 909 Senior Bowl
He and Wilson play the same way. Strength and power not with quickness. Little bend while at DE. Very strong and powerful. Probably will end up at playing mostly inside. 3-4 teams might like him at DE. 19.6% pass-rush win rate. Top 40

Lukas Van Ness DE/DT Iowa
6046 272 4.58 17 31" 910 7.02 4.32
He has one of the best bull rushes you will every see. It's his only move. Limited experience but élite tools. 18.8 % pass-rush win rate. More of projection than a proven commodity. Top 20 pick.

Tackles

Jalen Carter DT Georgia
6030 314 Junior
The best player in the draft and its not even close.

Bryan Breese DT Clemson
6054 298 4.86 28 29" 7.41 4.45 Junior
As a freshman he was one of the best players in the country. Torn e his ACL in his sophomore year and had a nightmare junior season. You can see the potential in flashes. The great quickness, the strength. Hopefully, he can get back to his full health and dominate. 

Ade Adebawore DT?DE Northwestern
6015 282 4.49 27 37.5" 1005 7.13 4.26 Senior Bowl
Dominates the Senior Bowl practices. Really made a name for himself. Crushed the combine. The question is where do you play him? For the Lions, he would play the closed end and drop down to tackle for pass rush. 

Gervon Dexter DT Florida
6055 318 4.88 24 31" 902 7.5 4.7 Junior
This guy  has grown on me. True 3 technique. Has strong arms and still quick at 318. More of a projection than a guy who wows you on tape.
