Broncos Analysis: ’s good week continues with drafting of receiver and center By Ryan O’Halloran The Denver Post April 24, 2020

Aside from the unblocked blitzer delivering a jaw-rattling hit or the after-a-loss video sessions, most days are fun for an NFL .

Fun is the best way to describe Drew Lock’s week … and he didn’t throw a pass, didn’t meet with new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and didn’t play a game.

And yet, the Broncos quarterback won the week.

Monday: General manager John Elway expresses confidence in Lock’s immediate and long-term future.

“We feel that he’s the guy,” Elway said. “We really liked what we saw (last year).”

Thursday: The Broncos weren’t forced to trade up from No. 15 to have Alabama receiver fall into their collective lap.

“Best route runner in the draft,” an NFL coordinator said Friday. “Probably the best all-around receiver. A really solid pick.”

Friday: Bypassing other needs, the Broncos chose speedy Penn State receiver KJ Hamler in the second round (No. 46 overall) and then, rather amazingly, saw LSU center tumble to the third round (No. 75). In just the opening three rounds of the NFL draft, Lock saw his boss acquire Jeudy (immediate starter/contributor), Hamler (can play outside or in the slot) and Cushenberry (immediate Week 1 starter).

The goal is obvious: The Broncos need to add a shot of caffeine to their — an offense that has been consistently impotent for too many years and through too many and play-callers.

“We’re looking to make our offense a little bit more stressful for people to defend,” coach said after the first round.

Fangio, the sage defensive play-caller, knows the Broncos’ offense didn’t really worry anybody last year.

They had receiver , who was steadily double-teamed in the red zone. They had , who experienced the usual rookie ups and downs. And they had . That’s it. The lack of playmakers produced a stacked deck for then-coordinator Rich Scangarello.

Defenses knew if they bottled up Lindsay on first down, it would make any of the Broncos’ three quarterbacks look for Sutton on second and third downs. Sutton won his share of battles, but his numbers in 2020 might be even better than 72 catches-1,112 yards-six .

The Broncos entered Friday night with one second-round pick and three third-round selections. But again, Elway showed the proper patience, waiting for the board to come to him instead of giving up at least one of the third-rounders to move up in round 2.

That the Broncos had targeted Hamler allowed them to stay at No. 46. Listed at 5 feet, 8 5/8 inches and 178 pounds, taking him at that stage did feel a little early, particularly when other needs like , center, offensive tackle, inside and defensive line had yet to be addressed.

If Hamler turns into a quick-twitch, get--on-their-heels No. 3 option and valuable return man, the pick makes sense. It’s bad news for DaeSean Hamilton, Hamler’s Penn State teammate, who is now at least fourth on the depth chart. And it might be bad news for returner .

Not taking Cushenberry at No. 46 was a gamble. Not taking him at No. 77 was befuddling at the time, particularly when Atlanta took center Matt Hennessy at No. 78, right after the Broncos selected cornerback .

But the Broncos still got Cushenberry, whose LSU tape is eye-popping because of his athleticism (stays on his feet), power (can handle bull rushes) and leadership (the quarterback of the Tigers’ national champion offensive line).

The Broncos needed to come out of night 2 of the draft with a center in general, and a center who could start in particular. Like they did last year with left guard , the Broncos and offensive line coach Mike Munchak shouldn’t overthink things and put Cushenberry with the 1s whenever there is a team drill.

Jeudy, Hamler and Cushenberry join a young offensive core that can grow together for two, maybe three years. Sutton and Lindsay are entering their third seasons. Lock, Risner and Fant their second seasons. Plus, right guard is a key addition.

“I love that,” Cushenberry said of the young offensive group. “We’re going to grow together. We’re going to go through some things, but at the end of the day, we’re going to get better. I feel like it will be an explosive offense.”

An explosive offense hasn’t been spotted around these parts since 2014. Young players make mistakes, so expect that. But they will also show rapid improvement. Is it a playoff offense? Not yet. But is it an interesting offense? Totally.

That we’re talking about the Broncos’ offense in a potentially positive light is why Lock had such a good week.

9 fast facts to know about Broncos' third-round picks Ojemudia, Cushenberry and Agim By Will Petersen KUSA April 24, 2020

Many thought the Denver Broncos would make a trade or two on Friday night of the NFL Draft, given how many selections the team had in the third round.

That didn't happen.

So while dreams were dashed of moving up the board, GM John Elway was able to add a lot of depth to his team with three selections in an 18-pick span.

Here are 9 fast facts about the newest members of the Broncos, cornerback Michael Ojemudia (Iowa), center Lloyd Cushenberry III (LSU) and defensive lineman McTelvin Agim (Arkansas).

1. Ojemudia didn't play cornerback in high school, instead was a four-year letterman as a tight end and a linebacker.

2. Cushenberry didn't see game action during a redshirt season in 2016, but was selected to the First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll.

3. Agim's mother Deanna Giddens and aunt Jayme Dunnings are both nurses.

4. Ojemudia appeared in either 12 or 13 games in all four of his seasons at Iowa, including starting all 13 games his senior year.

5. Cushenberry started all 15 games at center for LSU in 2019, a season in which the team went 15-0 and won the National Championship.

6. Agim was tabbed as the No. 1 player in the state of Arkansas coming out of high school and was rated a five-star prospect by 247 Sports.

7. Ojemudia played arguably his best game in his final one vs. USC, recording five solo tackles, two pass break-ups and one recovery in a 49-24 Holiday Bowl win over USC.

8. Cushenberry earned second team All-American honors in 2019 and was the first LSU offensive lineman to be recognized as the team's best leader both on and off the field.

9. Agim was on the Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll in 2017, 2018 and 2019, seasons in which he started 35 of a possible 36 games.

Denver Broncos' 2020 NFL draft analysis for every pick By Jeff Legwold ESPN April 24, 2020

The 2020 NFL draft is underway, and the Denver Broncos' rookie class is shaping up.

The draft, which had been scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, is instead being done virtually from the homes of coaches, general managers and other front-office staff because of the coronavirus pandemic. The draft began Thursday and continues Friday and Saturday (noon ET) on ABC, ESPN, the ESPN App and NFL Network. Follow along with our 2020 NFL draftcast.

Jerry Jeudy's NFL draft profileJerry Jeudy is considered to be one of the best wide receivers to ever play at Alabama. Whose helmet will he put on next? Round 1, No. 15 overall: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama My take: The Broncos were patient, even after the and Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a trade just in front of them, and ended up with the player many teams believed was the best on the board. Jeudy will play immediately for the Broncos -- and a lot. His ability to line up all over the formation made him the perfect intersection between the biggest need on the depth chart and the best player on the board when the Broncos' turn arrived.

Big-play potential: Jeudy averaged 17.2 yards per catch during his career at Alabama, placing him behind only NFL Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome at the school. Jeudy had a reception every 16.6 catches over the past two seasons on an offense that also featured Henry Ruggs III -- picked No. 12 by the Las Vegas Raiders. Receiver was a huge need for the Broncos, who finished tied for 17th last season in pass plays of at least 30 yards. Courtland Sutton was the team's leading receiver last season, but finished second among the team's receivers in catches (30) and didn't play for the team after October.

Star of David: Jeudy, who said he is called "Jeu" by his friends as a way of shortening his last name, wore a Star of David necklace this past season and at the NFL combine, even though he is not Jewish. He apologized, via social media, at the combine when he was informed that some thought it was offensive.

Round 2, No. 46 overall: KJ Hamler, WR, Penn State My take: Hamler didn't run at the scouting combine, but it didn't matter as he was considered one of the fastest players in the draft. He provides big-play pop -- he had a 14-game stretch with at least one reception of at least 20 yards -- and he is a quality kick returner. He averaged 16.9 yards per catch in his college career and flashed potential as a returner. He will have to clean up some drops -- he had nine last season -- but his explosiveness is needed in the Broncos' offense, which tied for 17th in the league in pass plays of at least 30 yards last season.

Round 3, No. 77 overall: Michael Ojemudia, CB, Iowa My take: It is a draft tradition that big cornerbacks always move up the board during the draft weekend. And while many teams had a Day 3 grade on Ojemudia heading into the draft, the Broncos went for the 6-foot-5/8, 200-pound Ojemudia, who ran 4.45 in the 40 at the scouting combine. At the moment, he is more potential over production. Though he did flash top-flight skills in some games this season, he didn't have the overall consistency as some others at the position. This is clearly a player whom the Broncos see has speed and size that they believe they can mold into a more consistent performer.

Round 3, No. 83 overall: Lloyd Cushenberry III, C, LSU My take: The Broncos' patience was rewarded as many considered Cushenberry to have second-round value. He started the last 28 games of his career for the Tigers and scouts certainly got to see him in a pro- style offense as LSU played a difficult schedule and did nothing but pile up points and yards as quarterback had a historical year. Scouts had plenty of game video with five-man protections against extra rushers. He plays with great awareness, and with an arm span of more than 84 inches, he had the biggest reach of any interior offensive lineman at the scouting combine. A smart and tough lineman who can make quality pre- reads, Cushenberry should compete to be the starter immediately.

Round 3, No. 95 overall: McTelvin Agim, DT, Arkansas My take: This is a player who has made the most of the last four months to move up draft boards. He started games at both and defensive tackle for the Razorbacks and the game video consistently showed him making plays up the field despite opposing offensive linemen consistently moving protections toward him. Agim showed his explosiveness at the combine when he ran a 4.98 40- yard dash. He fits Vic Fangio's scheme and should see time at defensive end in the 3-4 scheme. He also is physical enough to move into a defensive tackle look in some of their rush packages in the nickel and dime. He is exactly the kind of player Broncos defensive line coach Bill Kollar can turn into a highly productive addition.

What’s next: The Broncos are scheduled to have five picks on Day 3 -- one in the fourth (No. 118), one in the fifth (No. 178), one in the sixth (No. 181) and two at the end of the seventh (Nos. 252 and 254). They still need to look at cornerback, as well as a developmental tackle. Finding a quarterback wouldn't be a bad addition either. Also, the deepest class of wide receivers in years will provide the potential best player on the board at any of those picks.

Denver Broncos build around Drew Lock in the NFL draft By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press April 24, 2020

John Elway pledged to give Drew Lock more weapons and better protection in an NFL draft teeming with wide receivers and offensive linemen.

He delivered.

The Denver Broncos general manager provided Lock with with two terrific targets and added an athletic center through the first two nights of the NFL draft..

Elway selected Penn State speedster KJ Hamler with the 46th pick in the second round of the NFL draft Friday night, 24 hours after using the 15th overall pick on Alabama standout Jerry Jeudy, the highest wide receiver ever selected by Denver in the common draft era.

In the third round, Elway added protection for his second-year QB by drafting LSU center Lloyd Cushenberry, who was named first-team All-SEC in 2019.

Elway didn't neglect his , either, selecting Iowa cornerback Michael Ojemudia and Arkansas D- tackle McTelvin Agim in the third round.

Elway has five more picks Saturday.

Ojemudia will help fill the void left by the departure of Chris Harris Jr. to the Chargers this offseason, and Agim solidifies a refurbished defensive line that includes trade acquisition Jurrell Casey.

The jewel of Day 2 for Denver, though, was Hamler, who provides a jolt to the Broncos' offense and special teams.

“I think I bring to the table speed, quickness, playmaking ability,” Hamler said. “I’m versatile, I can play outside and I can play in the slot. I can return kicks and punts. I’m a playmaker.”

Hamler, who is generously listed at 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, is elusive with an uncommon burst of speed and has modeled his game after DeSean Jackson and Steve Smith.

The Broncos see him as a Tyreek Hill-type playmaker who can also serve as Denver’s kick returner and help the Broncos chase down Hill and the Super Bowl champion Chiefs in the AFC West.

Hamler wasn’t sure if Elway told him he’d also return kicks.

“I really couldn’t hear him just because my family was yelling and we were all crying,” Hamler said. “So it was kind of hard to hear him, but I hope he has that in mind. I would love to return kicks and punts.”

The Broncos’ once-formidable offense has been stuck in neutral for five years and last season Denver averaged a meager 17.6 points a game, 28th in the NFL, as their playoff drought reached four seasons.

A tweaked hamstring before the NFL scouting combine prevented Hamler from challenging John Ross’s record of 4.22 seconds set at the 2017 combine.

“I won’t say I think I was going to break the record, but I was going to be in the equation,” Hamler said. “I was going to be in the conversation -- 4.2 was the only thing on my mind."

He said his hamstring is fine now: "I’m fully healthy. I’m fully recovered. I’ve been running real good.”

Even though he’s undersized, Hamler stood out even in a class of wide receivers like none other.

Hamler said he was surprised when Elway picked him after spending his first pick on Jeudy, but he said he was eager to team up with Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and former college teammate DaeSean Hamilton in Denver, where he expects to quickly make his mark.

“I’ve been an underdog my whole life. I’ve always had something to prove just because of my size,” Hamler said. “I had to develop in other areas to help out. So, my dog mentality, I do that on and off the field. I don’t take nothing from nobody. I don’t back down from nobody. It’s like a David and Goliath story. I’m the smallest guy with the smallest frame, but I’ll give you everything I’ve got.”

Ojemudia said facing the likes of Jeudy, Hamler, Sutton and tight end Noah Fant in his first training camp will microwave his NFL education.

“I mean, that's going to be big,” Ojemudia said. “It's going to be harder than the games sometimes."

Defense a rare bright spot for Arkansas By Andrew Epperson Associated Press September 26, 2018

If there is a bright spot in the early going for Arkansas it is on defense.

The Razorbacks (1-3) are coming off a 34-3 loss at Auburn, but the final score is a bit deceiving when it comes to the effort.

The Hogs held Auburn to only 91 yards rushing on 36 carries. The front seven led by junior McTelvin Agim and senior Randy Ramsey had a better game against the rush than Auburn, which allowed 149 yard on 38 carries.

“We’re gonna continue to push the envelope until we get to where we want to be,” defensive coordinator John Chavis said. “I’m proud of the effort, but we’re still not at our standard, and we’ve gotta keep rolling.”

Chavis will be facing his former team Saturday for the first time when Arkansas plays Texas A&M in Arlington, Texas. The Razorbacks have lost six straight to their former Southwest Conference rival and they are counting on Chavis’ knowledge to prepare.

“Talking with the defensive staff, they recruited a lot of those guys,” Arkansas offensive coordinator Joe Craddock said. “I think he can give us a little bit more take this week on their personnel.”

Arkansas’ run defense is ranked No. 7 nationally and tops in the Southeastern Conference, but it will be tested by Aggies quarterback Kellen Mond, who gashed Alabama’s defense for 98 rushing yards and a score.

“I think they’ve done a great job, with the change in system, giving him some things to do,” Chavis said. “He’s a great runner. He’s on track to be a 3,000-yard passer, and he’s got good people around him. It’s a very talented team.”

Freshman linebacker Bumper Pool was solid in replacing the injured in the season opener, though the senior remains invaluable.

“Even on the bench, in between possessions, that’s where it’s really, really important,” Chavis said of Greenlaw. “His input on the sideline and his input on keeping people up, there’s not a price you can put on that. That was tremendous, and he did a great job of it all night long.”

Chavis downplayed his knowledge of specifics about Texas A&M, which has a new head coach in Jimbo Fisher.

“It’s a big game, and it’s important because it’s our next game,” Chavis said. “I don’t have firsthand knowledge of what they want to do. You’ve got film, and you work around that, certainly.”

The Aggies are averaging 246.3 rushing yards. While Arkansas’ defense is receiving praise for its tenacity against Auburn, another test looms.

“It’s about numbers in the box,” Chavis said. “It’s about showing them a five-man box and ending up playing a six-or-seven-man box. Teams that are spread teams — they don’t want to run in a seven-man box. That’s kind of hard territory.”

Revamped Arkansas defense ready for tough test against LSU By Kurt Voigt Associated Press November 10, 2016

The season appeared as though it was falling apart for Arkansas following a 56-3 loss to Auburn three weeks ago, particularly for a defense that had just allowed 543 yards rushing to the Tigers. Fueled by a well-timed bye week and some personnel changes, the Razorbacks (6-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) turned around both their defense — and season — with a 31-10 win against Florida last week .

It was a performance Arkansas hopes to carry forward on Saturday when they host No. 19 LSU (5-3, 3-2).

“Winning does a lot of things for the soul,” Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said.

To get back to winning following the humiliating Auburn loss, Bielema had a part in the defensive changes — most notably increasing playing time for talented freshman defensive tackle McTelvin Agim and moving senior Jeremiah Ledbetter to defensive end.

The result was the most dominant defensive performance of the season, with the Razorbacks holding the Gators to a season-low 12 yards rushing on 14 carries.

It was a improvement of 531 yards from one game to the next by a defense that had to wait two weeks to play Florida after being humbled by Auburn.

“It was tough, going into a bye week after a loss like that,” defensive end Deatrich Wise said. “You hear two weeks of that constant reminder of what you did. We just had to get our mind right ... It was hard, but we just changed the demeanor of how we do things, made things simpler.”

While the Florida win showed what Arkansas’ new-look defense is capable of, it will face an even more difficult test this week against an LSU team that leads the SEC with an average of 6.2 yards per carry.

With junior running back Leonard Fournette leading the way, the Tigers average 214 yards rushing per game — 236.3 yards on the ground in the four games since interim coach took over following the firing of Les Miles . And that despite only gaining 33 yards rushing in last week’s 10-0 loss to No. 1 Alabama.

Orgeron knows the Razorbacks aren’t likely to present the same physical challenge up front defensively, but he’s also aware Arkansas’ success a week ago could easily carry over to this week.

He also knows how well the Razorbacks have played in defeats of LSU in each of the last two seasons, games in which Arkansas has held the Tigers to a combined 95 yards rushing on 62 carries.

“They got bigger on the front and it worked for them,” Orgeron said. “The open date obviously was very beneficial to them ... Overall they played better. It seemed like they played as a team.” Arkansas’ Agim using past struggles to educate, help youth By Kurt Voigt Associated Press August 27, 2017

McTelvin Agim can still hear the sound of his cell closing for the first time, six years after the fact.

Clink. Clink.

The Arkansas defensive lineman was an eighth-grader in Texarkana, Texas, and had just started a weekend sentence in a juvenile detention center, the result of an arrest for running from the police.

His punishment — and the outcome — could have been so much worse, considering Agim had been trying to steal a car. Fate had other plans for the 14-year-old Agim, one of the top high school football recruits in the country two years ago and now a rising star as a sophomore. It’s a rise that began in that jail cell.

A kid struggling to cope with the loss of his caretaker grandmother found a way to turn his weekend in juvy into a life-changing event.

“I really believe it’s one of the best things to ever happened to me,” Agim said. “I thank God that it happened to me then when I could change my life instead of later when it was too late.”

By all accounts, Agim was a good kid. Good grades, committed to his grandmother, Charlie B. McGraw, and two sisters, everything that could be expected while growing up in an area where the Crips are listed as having documented gang activity by the state of Texas .

It’s not like he had a choice.

Despite having lost her eyesight and legs because of complications from diabetes, McGraw ran a disciplined household while Agim’s mother, Deanna Giddens, was at work much of the time. Between a childhood that started in Dallas and saw several moves back and forth to the Texas side of Texarkana, Agim always considered grandma’s house his home.

That guidance vanished for a seventh-grade Agim when she died in 2011.

What filled the void for Agim, along with grief, was more unsupervised time than he had ever had.

He didn’t start stealing from the Dollar General store for fun or to impress friends. He says he did so to eat in the evenings after his school lunch couldn’t quell the hunger anymore.

“I feel bad about it, but it was either steal or starve,” Agim said.

Agim was home alone in his grandmother’s house much of the time while his mother worked across the state line in Hope, Arkansas. The electricity came and went and he heated water on the stove, though a repossession agent once showed up to try to take that.

Agim started hanging out more with his friends. They weren’t part of any organized gang, more of a clique really, but the trouble was real — eventually resulting in Agim’s weekend in the juvenile detention center.

He thought about his grandmother that weekend, thought about where he was and where he wanted to go.

Football wasn’t part of Agim’s thoughts that weekend, but a move out of Texarkana was. He moved back to the Dallas area briefly as a ninth-grader before finally moving with his mother to Arkansas over the Thanksgiving break and attending a small high school outside Hope for the rest of the semester.

It was during that month, while Agim was playing basketball at Blevins High School, that Hope football coach Jay Turley first heard of this freakishly athletic freshman who was 6-foot-2, 220 pounds at the time.

At the semester break, Giddens moved down the road to Hope where she worked — and where Turley was excited and waiting for the chance to try to mold her son into a football player.

The results were nearly immediate, as were the accolades.

He had 16 sacks as a sophomore and 22 as a junior. By the team his senior season rolled around, Turley said teams wouldn’t even run toward Agim’s side of the field. He still had 24 sacks that year, though — along with spending time at running back, quarterback and kick returner in addition to his duties on the defensive line.

“I probably won’t ever coach the No. 9 player in the country again, but that’s not what I’m proud of,” Turley said. “I’m proud of the way he overcame adversity in his life. To me, that’s what football and life is all about.”

Nearly every college in the country wanted Agim. He took visits to schools such as Stanford, Alabama, Auburn and Texas A&M, among others.

Arkansas wasn’t on Agim’s mind when he began the recruiting process, having grown up on the Texas side of the Texarkana border and fought his share of battles with his neighbors to the east. However, his outgoing personality matched that of coach Bret Bielema — to the point where Agim felt comfortable sharing the story of his eighth-grade arrest, and pride in what he had overcome, before committing to the Razorbacks. During one visit, Agim took Bielema to the empty home of his grandmother, 30 minutes away.

“I think he probably had to be mature in the adult world way before it’s normal,” Bielema said. “He had to experience and see some things in the world that matured him in the way that you see him today.”

Bielema requires his players to do a minimum of two hours of community service per semester.

For Agim, it was an easy decision where to spend his time last year. He went back to Texarkana and shared his story with a group of approximately 20 teenagers in a detention center.

“Somebody in the juvenile center right now is locked up and probably thinking, ‘I’ve got no way out,’” Agim said. “If by talking I can help somebody else who is feeling the same pain I was, I’ll do it every time.”

Agim started the final five games for the Razorbacks last season as a true freshman. Now 6-3 and 286 pounds, many expect him to use his quickness and power to approach an all-SEC level this season.

“It’s on him to be as good as he wants to be,” defensive line coach John Scott Jr. said. “I think people will be surprised when they see some of the things he’s able to do.”

Agim has his grandmother’s name and face tattooed on his right forearm, and rarely a day goes by when he doesn’t either think or talk about the impact she had on his life. He misses her, but he’s found a way to channel that sorrow.

After enrolling at Arkansas during the spring of his senior year in high school, Agim is on track to graduate by the fall of his junior year — just in time to be finished with school in case he does decide to leave for the NFL.

His grades are good.

His life is great.

All according to the five-year plan he came up with following that weekend behind bars.

Exactly how his grandmother would have told him to live life.

“How she raised me when she was here, I feel like she made me the person I am today,” Agim said. “I think she’d be proud, most definitely, about who I am as a person.”

Broncos select DL McTelvin Agim with the 95th-overall pick By Aric DiLalla DenverBroncos.com April 24, 2020

With their final pick of the third round, the Broncos added Arkansas defensive lineman McTelvin Agim.

Agim was the 95th-overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft and one of the last choices in the third round.

Agim appeared in 42 career games and tallied 140 total tackles, 31 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks and six forced fumbles.

He recorded 18.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks over his final two seasons.

The Broncos used all four of their Day 2 picks on Friday, as they added wide receiver KJ Hamler, cornerback Michael Ojemudia and center Lloyd Cushenberry III. They previously drafted wide receiver Jerry Jeudy on Thursday with the 15th-overall pick.

Denver Broncos draft picks 2020: Round-by-round selections By Staff USA Today April 24, 2020

NFL Draft 2020: Examining , Derrick Brown and the rest of the defensive line class by type By Chris Trapasso CBS Sports April 24, 2020

Not every defensive lineman is created the same. Some are long, dynamic athletes with raw pass-rush move arsenals. Some are technicians who don't have the requisite athleticism to threaten through a gap with explosiveness.

To provide a unique view of the defensive line position through this perspective, I've divided the class as a whole by type. Below, we'll take a look at five different groupings, along with one sleeper (check out our look at the edge-rusher position here.)

Explosive disruptors with awesome size and stellar pass-rush moves Javon Kinlaw, South Carolina Neville Gallimore, Oklahoma

Kinlaw really is in a class by himself among defensive linemen in this class. At 6-foot-5 and 324 pounds with long arms, an incredible first step, stunning burst-to-power, and counters off his awesome bull rush, he checks all the boxes trait-wise.

Gallimore might not have a super high ceiling, and he surprisingly tested poorly despite being explosive and loose-hipped on the field. I love the variety of pass-rushing moves he deploys on a regular basis, especially his swim move off his bull rush.

Dynamic athletes who must add to arsenal of pass-rushing moves Ross Blacklock, TCU Bravvion Roy, Baylor James Lynch, Baylor Khalil Davis, Nebraska

Blacklock has the best get off of any defensive linemen in this class. His handwork isn't stagnant. It's just that too often I saw him leaning on his burst through a gap to win. Roy didn't even get a combine invite, which was a little surprising considering he had 6.5 sacks, 13.5 tackles for loss and a whopping 61 tackles from the nose tackle position in Baylor's mostly three-man rush in 2019. He plays high despite his squatty frame, yet is twitchy off the snap and has active hands.

Lynch was an end at Baylor, but at 6-4 and nearly 290 pounds with high-level athletic traits for the interior defensive line position, he's a no-brainer for this group, as his handwork needs a good deal of improvement.

Davis is the most raw prospect of this group, and that's fine. But he'll likely land on the third day of the draft because of his acceleration off the line and how he can sustain it through the play. At 6-1 and 308 pounds at the combine, Davis ran a blistering 4.75, and it shows on film.

Unspectacular athletes with good strength and refined pass-rush moves Justin Madubuike, Texas A&M Jordan Elliott, Missouri Marlon Davidson, Auburn

Madubuike is a brawler on the interior, and really, at 6-3 and 293 pounds with arms over 33 inches long, he can play anywhere up front. He quickly reacts to the hand placement and leverage of offensive linemen and counters with powerful hand work. While his burst is good, he has problems continuing that speed into the quarterback.

Elliott is a black-belt martial artist. Blockers can never be sure what he's going to do with his hands at the point of attack. He's pretty strong too. But Elliott, like Madubuike, is a little heavy-footed en route to the passer and doesn't possess much twitch when changing directions.

As for Davidson, he was an edge rusher at Auburn and packed on weight to make the transition inside in the NFL. Which, by the way, was the right move. Living on the outside in college with tremendous strength but severely lacking burst and bend, Davidson had to utilize his hands to his advantage and did so often. I'm assuming that'll continue at defensive tackle. The Senior Bowl was a nice preview.

Great run stuffers with average athleticism, lacking pass-rush moves Derrick Brown, Auburn Raekwon Davis, Alabama Raequan Williams, Michigan State Larrell Murchison, NC State John Penisini, Utah

I've written about my concerns regarding Brown's value a few times during this pre-draft process, and overall, I view him as a late first-round pick instead someone bound to land in the top half of Round 1. He simply isn't a stellar athlete for the defensive tackle spot and doesn't consistently win with anything beyond his overpowering bull rush. On a more positive note, he's far and away the finest run plugger in this class with a gigantic tackling radius and amazing reliability bringing running backs to the ground.

Davis never improved as a pass rusher after his breakout sophomore campaign in 2017, yet rocks as a two-gapping, block-tossing run stuffer on the inside, and he's 6-6 and 311 pounds.

Williams reminds me of 2018 third-round pick Harrison Phillips in that he's a rocked-up, technically sound run-game destroyer who has tiny flashes of pass-rush ability. Murchison is a jack-of-all-trades-master-of- none type of prospect. If I had to pick a specialty for him, it'd be his run-stopping prowess when battling across the .

Penisini is ready for a bar fight on every snap and will jolt interior offensive linemen. He's a sturdy two- gapper with just enough springiness to reset the offensive line with his pop and hands.

New-age nose tackles with some pass-rushing juice Leki Fotu, Utah Davon Hamilton, Ohio State Benito Jones, Ole Miss Josiah Coatney, Ole Miss Darrion Daniels, Nebraska

Fotu is a humongous presence at nose tackle with brute upper body strength and an impressive first step for someone 6-5 and 330 pounds. Hamilton doesn't give much of anything of value besides a deceptively quickly first step and low-center-of-gravity pop at 6-4 and 320. Jones is squatty with a jolting punch and a high motor. He tested poorly in Indianapolis though.

Much of the same is true for Coatney and Daniels. None of those nose tackles were fun to block during the week of practices at the Senior Bowl, but they don't utilize an array of pass-rushing moves.

Sleepers I simply cannot leave out McTelvin Agim, Arkansas Robert Landers, Ohio State

Agim is the polar opposite of most mid-to-late-round defensive linemen in that he's somewhat of a liability against the run but thrives as a pass rusher. At 6-3 and 309 pounds with arms over 33 inches, Agim has a sleek frame and plays with accurate, ultra-active hands through blockers en route to the quarterback. He quietly registered five sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss in 2019. He will give some team a valuable niche pass rusher later in the draft.

Landers wasn't invited to the combine, and I understand why. He was listed at 6-1 and 285 pounds with short arms and had just a half-sack in 2019, and never more than one quarterback takedown in a single season in the Big Ten. But his film shows a relentless, gap-shooting battler with a stellar first step and an array of pass-rushing moves that allowed him to repeatedly generate pressure during all four of his seasons as a part-time player in Columbus. Sure, he can get tossed around against the run. But Landers' attacking style -- and size -- actually fit perfectly to the modern-day defensive tackle position. He's a long shot to even get drafted, but if I was a GM, I'd find a way to get him on my team.

Broncos' McTelvin Agim: Denver adds in third round By Staff CBS Sports April 24, 2020

The Broncos selected Agim in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 95th overall.

Agim (6-foot-3, 309) was a four-year standout for Arkansas, though the team's defenses were often quite poor despite his presence. Perhaps he bears some responsibility for that, but it might have been beyond his control. He offers clear above-average athleticism on a stocky frame, with his 4.98-second 40-yard dash especially standing out. He's no Akiem Hicks, but Vic Fangio can still probably make a disruptive presence out of Agim.
