  1. Romello Height (6’3 240) Texas Tech, Edge

    + Explosive first step
    + Relentless pursuit
    + Closing speed
    + Comfortable dropping in coverage
    + 92.6 pass rush grade with 62 pressures, 10 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles during the 2025 season
    + Pass rush arsenal
    + Bend/hip flexibility
    + 28.0 win rate on true pass sets

    - What is his actual size? Is he closer to 6’2” and 230 pounds?
    - Sixth-year senior
    - Only 6.5 career sacks prior to the 2025 season
    - 21.2% missed tackle rate in 2025

    Draft projection: Top 75

  2. Anthony Hill Jr. (6’3 240) Texas, LB

    + Versatility to play on the edge and at off-ball linebacker
    + Blitz timing
    + Physical tackler
    + Just now turning 21 years old
    + Relentless pursuit
    + 79.7 run defense grade in 2025
    + Just a 4.5% missed tackle rate
    + 17 sacks in three seasons with 8 forced fumbles during that time

    - Can come in too high in traffic and it slows him down a tick
    - Could diagnose quicker
    - Needs to improve in man coverage
    - Eye discipline in coverage

    Draft projection: Top 50

  3. Spencer Fano (6’6 306) Utah, OT

    + Moves more like a tight end
    + Blocking on the move and up at the second level
    + Just one sack allowed during the last two seasons
    + Quick feet and kick slide
    + Nasty demeanor/finishing mentality
    + Elite run blocker with a 93.6 grade in 2024 and 80.9 in 2025
    + Versatility (played LT in 2023)
    + Should test really well/athleticism
    + Over 2,200 snaps played in jut three seasons at Utah

    - Bit of a lighter frame and could continue adding some mass
    - Strike timing inconsistencies
    - Over-aggressiveness can lead to balance issues
    - Hasn’t faced a ton of top edge rushers outside of Texas Tech
    - 5 penalties in 2025

    Draft projection: Top 15

    + Pursuit speed
    + Team leader/captain
    + Work ethic and character
    + Natural leverage
    + Feldman Freak with a 33” vertical jump, bench presses 465 pounds, and has been clocked at 20.13 on the GPS

    - Lacks ideal size for the position
    - Arm length (sub 32”)
    - Didn’t play for a Power 5 school
    - Disengaging from blocks

    Draft projection: Late Day 3

    1. I would love this guy in the 6th round. Sounds a little like DJ Jones

  5. The only P4 wide receivers since 2019 with a passer rating when targeted > 140.0, a TD rate > 25.0%, and a contested catch rate > 50.0% in at least one college season..

    🔘 Terry McLaurin, Ohio State
    🔘 Omar Cooper Jr, Indiana
    🔘 Brian Thomas Jr, LSU

    Omar’s contested target rate: 29.41% against man (below average), 11.32% against zone (above average)
