This is one of the shallowest Interior DL classes we’ve seen in a long time. It doesn’t seem like there’s much outside of @Chris_Bmore4u, at least in the 1st round. This thread contains some charts about the unknown names that could be bargains when taken later in the draft 1/8

15 big names from the Power-5 conferences and their stats. The weight jumps out as a big factor - compared to the NFL average, we have a lot of undersized guys. Opt outs another issue - 4 significant names 2/8

We have to split up DTs and NTs, since we might expect DTs to have a higher Sk/G and we should adjust for this. @PFF notes 4 NTs in this draft. 3/8

Before we look at the stats of each DL, we have to adjust for the teams they faced. This chart shows the @PFF PBLK and RBLK average grades of each DL opponents. 4/8

Pressures, Sacks and their adjusted values to a PBLK grade of 50. This makes the stats comparable. @Chris_Bmore4u, @JaylenTwyman and Odighizuwa dominate. 5/8

Defensive Stops, Tackles and their adjusted values to a (PBLK+RBLK)/2 grade of 50. @Chris_Bmore4u, @DaviyonNixon, Odighizuwa and @LeviOnw dominate. 6/8

@Chris_Bmore4u is by far the most rounded player in the draft, according to the numbers. Odighizuwa could be a strong sleeper, but will his lack of weight be an issue? @LeviOnw and @JaylenTwyman both strong, but this is their 2019 season study as they both opted out. 7/8
