Chase Young*, DE, Ohio State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 264. Arm: 33.75. Hand: 10.
Projected 40 Time: 4.69.
Projected Round (2020): Top-5.
4/22/20: Young is the best player in the 2020 NFL Draft, and how high he goes only depends on how the quarterback-needy teams impact Round 1. It looks like a lock that Young will be the first non-quarterback selected. He is a fast edge rusher with functional strength, a repertoire of moves, and the ability do take over games. He looks like a perennial double-digit sack producer for the NFL. From a skill-set perspective, Young is on a par with the Bosa brothers and Bradley Chubb entering the next level.
Young dominated in 2019, notching huge games against Nebraska, Miami of Ohio, Indiana, Cincinnati and Wisconsin. In 2019, Young had 16.5 sacks with 46 tackles, six forced fumbles, three passes batted and a blocked kick. In the first meeting versus Wisconsin, Young put together a record-setting game for Ohio State with four sacks, two forced fumbles and six tackles. He absolutely dominated the Badgers’ edge blockers and beat double teams to lead the Buckeyes’ defense shutting down the Badgers’ offense.
Young was suspended two games due to from taking a loan from a family member, but the NCAA wanted him active in their money-making games to end the season and the suspension won’t impact his draft sock.
6/29/19: With Nick Bosa injured for most of 2018, Young took advantage of the opportunity to have a breakout season. Young has some size to him to go along with speed and athleticism off the edge. In 2018, he recorded 34 tackles with 15.5 tackles for a loss, 10.5 sacks, five passes broken up and two forced fumbles. As a freshman, he totaled 19 tackles with 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble. -
K’Lavon Chaisson*, DE/OLB, LSU
Height: 6-4. Weight: 254. Arm: 32.25. Hand: 9.88.
Projected 40 Time: 4.69.
Projected Round (2020): 1.
4/22/20: Chaisson has a lot of upside to fill out his frame and develop into a dangerous edge rusher. He is fast, long, and athletic on the edge. In 2019, he had 60 tackles with 6.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and two passes broken up while dealing with an ankle injury. Chaisson missed almost all of his 2018 season with a knee injury. In 2017, he had 27 tackles with two sacks and two passes batted. For today’s NFL, Chaisson is a valuable commodity because he is a lightning-fast edge rusher and a twitchy athlete. Chaisson is quick off the ball with a fast first-step. He has a burst to run around the corner and a second gear to close on the quarterback. On top of being a pure speed rusher, Chaisson has an impressive arsenal of pass-rushing moves.
One of the impressive aspects of Chaisson’s game is his ability to play in coverage. LSU lined him up at a variety of places in 2019, allowing Chaisson to display his rare speed and athleticism to run with receivers in the flat and tight ends off the edge. Chaisson is a fluid athlete in the open field with serious foot speed to stay with offensive players. While he could use some refinement, Chaisson has more pass-coverage skills than the typical edge defender.
As a run defender, Chaisson is good in pursuit and he makes some big plays by working upfield to cause disruption in the backfield. However being below 260 pounds with a chiseled lean frame, Chaisson can struggle with downhill runs coming straight at him. Offensive tackles can tie him up with their upper body strength and push him back. He needs to get stronger for shedding blocks in the NFL and holding his ground.

Yetur Gross-Matos*, DE, Penn State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 265.
Projected 40 Time: 4.73.
Projected Round (2020): 1-2.
4/22/20: Team sources say Gross-Matos did not impress them with his combine workout. In 2019, Gross-Matos recorded 40 tackles with 9.5 sacks. He was a good run defender and demonstrated improvement as a pass-rusher over his career, but Penn State hurt Gross-Matos’ sack production in 2019 by playing him out of position at nose tackle, at five-technique, and in containment. Gross-Matos was named in a hazing lawsuit against Penn State by a former teammate, but most NFL evaluators don’t think it will hurt him significantly. However, that will vary by team.
6/29/19: Gross-Matos enjoyed a breakout sophomore season in 2018, recording 54 tackles for a loss, 20 for a loss, eight sacks and two forced fumbles. Gross-Matos has a lot of upside to improve as he gains more experience. -
Marlon Davidson, DE/DT, Auburn
Height: 6-3. Weight: 303. Arm: 32.88. Hand: 9.5.
40 Time: 5.04.
Projected Round (2020): 1-3.
4/22/20: Davidson had 49 tackles with 7.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 2019. Team sources say Davidson is a solid player who is smart and has good technique. He doesn’t have a great skill set, but he finds a way to contribute for his defense. At the Senior Bowl, Davidson had a good week of practice. He is as tough as nails and a real fighter at the point of attack. Davidson has gained a lot of weight and could be more of a fit as a three-technique defensive tackle in a 4-3 defense for the NFL.
6/29/19: In 2018, Davidson had 46 tackles with 4.5 for a loss, 3.5 sacks and three passes broken up. He was a big presence on special teams, notching a number of blocked kicks in 2018. He was wise to return for his senior year because he could stand to improve his pass-rushing skills.
Davidson is a sturdy defender at the point of attack who is a solid performer against the run. He totaled 43 tackles with 6.5 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumblein 2017. As a freshman, he had 38 tackles with six for a loss, 2.5 sacks, four passes batted and one forced fumble. -
A.J. Epenesa*, DE, Iowa
Height: 6-6. Weight: 275. Arm: 34.5. Hand: 10.13.
40 Time: 5.04.
Projected Round (2020): 1-3.
4/22/20: Epenesa did not impress teams at the combine, and they were mildly disappointed in his workout. He could go in the back half of the first round, but slipping to the second round is possible. A number of teams have Epenesa graded on Day 2, and some have him in the third round.
In 2019, Epenesa had 49 tackles with 11.5 sacks, three passes batted and four forced fumbles. Some teams have him graded in the second round. Epenesa is a solid base end for a 4-3 defense and could be a five-technique end in a 3-4. Some scouts feel playing end in a 3-4 would be his best fit.
Epenesa went on a tear in the final month of the 2019 regular season, and finished it off with an impressive multi-sack performance against USC left tackle Austin Jackson in the bowl game. Epenesa was phenomenal against Nebraska with massive performance. Epenesa had 14 tackles – nine solo – and two sacks against the Cornhuskers, helping the Hawkeyes to a three-point win. Taking on Illinois, Epenesa had five tackles with a forced fumble. Epenesa put together a huge game versus Minnesota, notching 2.5 sacks and four tackles. Against Wisconsin, Epenesa had a strip-sack to get Iowa some points. He had seven tackles and a sack against Penn State.
6/29/19: Epenesa is a thick, physical and athletic defensive end who flashed pass-rush ability during an impressive freshman season for the Hawkeyes. For the year, Epenesa totaled 4.5 sacks, 5.5 tackles for a loss, 15 tackles and one forced fumble. He looked like he was just scratching the surface of his potential. Epensa then was excellent for Iowa in 2018, recording 10.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, four passes batted, 16.5 tackles for a loss and 37 tackles. -
Jon Greenard, DE, Florida
Height: 6-3. Weight: 263. Arm: 34.5. Hand: 9.
40 Time: 4.87.
Projected Round (2020): 1-3.
4/22/20: Some team sources believe Greenard could go late in the first round even though his talent is more fitting for Day 2. That second-day athletic skill set was illustrated at the combine. But Greenard had a solid Senior Bowl, plus the 2020 NFL Draft lacks for edge rushers while plenty of teams need pass-rushing help, so he has a shot at sneaking into the first round.
Greenard is a quick and twitchy edge rusher who is very smart with how he sets up offensive tackles. He has a nice repertoire of moves and some natural pass-rush ability. In 2019, Greenard totaled 9.5 sacks with 50 tackles, three forced fumbles, one interception and four passes batted. He put consistent pressure on the quarterback for the most part, with the exception being the Georgia game when Andrew Thomas and the Bulldogs’ offensive line held Greenard in check. Greenard also missed some time with injuries, and his medical evaluation could hurt his draft grade.
Greenard is a transfer from Louisville who missed the 2018 season with an injury. In 2017, he had seven sacks with 48 tackles and a pass broken up. -
Terrell Lewis, DE, Alabama
Height: 6-5. Weight: 262.
Projected 40 Time: 4.71.
Projected Round (2020): 2-4.
4/22/20: Lewis totaled 31 tackles, six sacks and two passes batted in 2019. He was a dynamic edge rusher, showing speed, power, length, and some moves. At the Senior Bowl, Lewis had a hot start and had his share of wins in the one-on-ones. If it weren’t his medical history and concerns about future injury, Lewis would probably be a secure first-rounder. Some team sources feel Lewis is still dragging one of his legs and isn’t all the way back from his injuries. That causes some to project him to the second day of the 2020 NFL Draft.
6/29/19: Lewis missed the 2018 season after suffering a torn ACL during the summer before fall camp. Lewis was playing well in the 2017 season opener before sustaining an injury that cost him most of the season. He totaled just 16 tackles with a sack for the year, but scouts who watched 2018 spring football were raving about him. Sources believe Lewis has a ton of potential.
The edge defender, formerly known as Terrell Hall, Lewis developed behind the scenes for Alabama in 2016. Scouts have told me that in practice Lewis was very impressive as he is big and quick, plus possesses surprising change-of-direction skills. They said that Lewis has a great build and is dripping with upside. He has really impressed them watching him in practice during the past few seasons. -
Jason Strowbridge, DE, North Carolina
Height: 6-4. Weight: 267. Arm: 32.88. Hand: 9.88.
40 Time: 4.89.
Projected Round (2020): 3-4.
4/22/20: Strowbridge had 45 tackles with three sacks, a forced fumble and a pass broken up in 2019. He accepted an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl and had a good week of practice, displaying toughness at the point of attack. He also showed more speed and athleticism in the pass-rushing one-on-ones than his 2019 sack total would have suggested. A number of teams have Strowbridge in play for their third-round pick.
6/29/19: In 2018, Strowbridge totaled 36 tackles with 5.5 sacks, 7.5 tackles for a loss and one pass batted. He had 34 tackles with one sack for 2017. NFL teams have Strowbridge on their preseason watch list. If his pass-rush skills improve, he could be a riser during the 2019 season. -
Curtis Weaver*, DE, Boise State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 265. Arm: 32.38. Hand: 9.5.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
4/22/20: Weaver was very good for Boise State in 2019, recording 52 tackles, 13.5 sacks, three passes defended and forced fumble. Team sources say Weaver was a good college player as a try-hard guy, but he has physical limitations for the NFL. In speaking with sources at a handful of teams, Weaver had mid-round grades, with many giving him a late third-round/early fourth-round grade.
6/29/19: In 2018, Weaver had 43 tackles with 15 tackles for a loss, 9.5 sacks and one forced fumble. He broke out in 2017 as a redshirt freshman and recorded 11 sacks, 33 tackles, two passes broken up and a forced fumble on the year. With Weaver’s size and body type, he might fit best as a 3-4 outside linebacker. -
Bradley Anae, DE, Utah
Height: 6-3. Weight: 257. Arm: 31.88. Hand: 9.5.
40 Time: 4.93.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
4/22/20: Anae came alive and finished the 2019 regular season simply terrorizing the quarterback while totaling 13 sacks with 41 tackles, one forced fumble and one pass batted for the year. Anae had a good week of practice at the Senior Bowl to help himself, but had a rough combine with a very slow 40 that hurt him.
Against Washington left tackle Trey Adams, Anae had an interesting game as he was dominated in the first half and then used his speed to burn Adams for a lot of pressures and a sack in the second half. Anae was a productive player for the Utes, but team sources say he has some skill-set limitations. Anae is undersized, and he does not have dynamic speed off the edge. Some team evaluators feel Anae is more of a mid-round pick because of his skill-set limitations.
6/29/19: Over the past two seasons, Anae has been a solid contributor for Utah. After two sacks over six games as a freshman, Anae broke out in 2017 with seven sacks, 10 tackles for a loss, 39 tackles, and three forced fumbles. As a junior, he improved to 51 tackles, eight sacks, 15.5 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles and three passes defended. Some NFL teams have given Anae a projection of having the potential to go in the top half of the 2020 NFL Draft. -
Kenny Willekes, DE, Michigan State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 264. Arm: 31.25 Hand: 9.75.
40 Time: 4.87.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
4/22/20: In 2019, Willekes recorded 78 tackles, 10.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and a fumble returned for a touchdown. He is a solid edge rusher with a good motor, but he did not impress at the Senior Bowl or combine.
6/29/19: Willekes went under the radar prior to a breakout 2018 season in which he totaled 78 tackles with 20.5 for a loss, 8.5 sacks, one pass batted and one forced fumble. As a sophomore, Willekes recorded 73 tackles with seven sacks.
Willekes looks like more of a 3-4 outside linebacker candidate for the NFL. He is listed at 6-foot-4, 260 pounds, but looks smaller than that. Coming off the edge, Willekes has some quickness with active hands and the ability to use his hands and feet at the same time. It would help him to get stronger for the NFL. -
Khalid Kareem, DE, Notre Dame
Height: 6-4. Weight: 265. Arm: 34.38. Hand: 10.88.
Projected 40 Time: 4.75.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
4/22/20: Kareem had 46 tackles with 5.5 sacks and three forced fumbles in 2019. He was a solid defender for the Fighting Irish but did not overwhelm in his final season. Team sources like his potential but a plethora of missed tackles hurt Kareem’s grade.
6/29/19: Kareem was one of the tough defensive linemen who led the Fighting Irish in 2018. He totaled 42 tackles with 10.5 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, five passes broken up and a forced fumble on the year. Kareem possesses a lot of upside to get better in 2019. -
Darrell Taylor, DE, Tennessee
Height: 6-3. Weight: 259. Arm: 33. Hand: 10.
Projected 40 Time: 4.74.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
4/22/20: In 2019, Taylor totaled 8.5 sacks, a forced fumble, four passes batted and 46 tackles. He had a slow start to the season before getting hot. Taylor played well enough in 2019 to earn an invitation to the Senior Bowl, and he was solid, but not impressive, in Mobile.
6/29/19: Taylor went under the radar in 2018, but he had a breakout year for the Volunteers, logging 36 tackles with eight sacks and three forced fumbles. Taylor has the upside to rise, although he could stand to improve as a run defender while duplicating his pass-rush production. -
Jabari Zuniga, DE, Florida
Height: 6-3. Weight: 253. Arm: 33.13. Hand: 10.
40 Time: 4.64.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
4/22/20: In 2019, Zuniga had 14 tackles with three sacks. He missed a lot of games with a high ankle sprain, including the contests against Tennessee, Auburn, Missouri, Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Florida State. The Gators played him out of position for the NFL, lining him up inside in the sub package at times, but Zuniga showed versatility with how he can get after the quarterback. He then looked good at the combine and blazed a fast 40. If his medical evaluation went well, then Zuniga really helped himself.
6/29/19: Zuniga totaled 45 tackles with 11 for a loss and 6.5 sacks in 2018. He needs to get stronger for the NFL. In a 4-3, Zuniga would be limited to being a designated pass-rusher, and he would definitely fit better as a 3-4 outside linebacker. Zuniga (6-3, 245) benefited in 2018 from Jabari Polite having an excellent season.
It was wise for Zuniga to return for his senior year and get stronger before going to the NFL. He has upside as a pass-rusher to rise with a strong 2019, as he has shown some natural pass-rushing skills throughout his collegiate career. In 2017, Zuniga totaled 34 tackles with eight tackles for a loss and four sacks. In 2016, he flashed as a rotational player and situational pass-rusher with five sacks, 8.5 tackles for a loss and 25 tackles. -
James Lynch*, DE/DT, Baylor
Height: 6-4. Weight: 289. Arm: 31/88. Hand: 9.88.
40 Time: 5.01.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
4/22/20: Lynch had a strong 2019 season for the Bears, totaling 13.5 sacks with 41 tackles and three forced fumbles. While the junior was a good player for Baylor, he has some skill set limitations for the next level and is a tweener end/tackle. Lynch recorded 5.5 sacks and 40 tackles as a sophomore. -
Nick Coe*, DE, Auburn
Height: 6-5. Weight: 280. Arm: 33.75. Hand: 10.25.
40 Time: 4.80.
Projected Round (2020): 4-6.
4/22/20: Coe recorded just 15 tackles and zero sacks over a disappointing 2019 season, but did play well in the Iron Bowl against Alabama. Team sources say Coe has a good skill set with a lot of ability, but is raw, lacks consistency, and doesn’t play up to his physical talent. He definitely should have returned for his senior year to improve before entering the NFL, but Coe decided to skip his final season at Auburn.
6/29/19: Coe broke out for Auburn in 2018 and showed the ability to be a dangerous edge rusher. The sophomore totaled seven sacks, two forced fumbles, 27 tackles and 13.5 tackles for a loss on the year. In 2017, he notched 29 tackles and two sacks. With Derrick Brown coming back to Auburn, Coe could form a dynamic tandem with the fantastic interior defender. -
D.J. Wonnum, DE, South Carolina
Height: 6-4. Weight: 254. Arm: 34. Hand: 10.38.
40 Time: 4.73.
Projected Round (2020): 4-6.
4/22/20: Wonnum played better than his stats illustrated as a senior. He totaled 4.5 sacks with an interception and forced fumble to go along with 37 tackles in 2019. Earlier in the season, Wonnum played well against Georgia to help the Gamecocks pull off that massive upset. Wonnum has speed and athleticism on the edge. He was respectable at the Senior Bowl, but did not have a huge week that would be a catalyst to rise in the leadup to the 2020 NFL Draft. -
Chauncey Rivers, DE, Mississippi State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 262. Arm: 32.88. Hand: 9.75.
40 Time: 4.97.
Projected Round (2020): 4-6.
4/22/20: In 2019, Rivers recorded 43 tackles with five sacks and a forced fumble. He had a slow start for Mississippi State, but played better in the back half of the season.
6/29/19: Rivers started out his collegiate career at Georgia before leaving the Bulldogs for the junior college ranks. After excelling there, he landed at Mississippi State and had a solid debut for the Bulldogs in 2018, totaling 24 tackles with seven for a loss, and 2.5 sacks. Rivers has a lot of upside, and some teams projected him as having the ability to go in the top half of the 2020 NFL Draft. -
Trevis Gipson, DE, Tulsa
Height: 6-3. Weight: 259. Arm: 34.13. Hand: 9.25.
Projected 40 Time: 4.94.
Projected Round (2020): 4-6.
4/22/20: Gipson had a solid 2019 season rushing the passer, collecting eight sacks, two forced fumbles and 49 tackles. As a junior, he had 46 tackles, five forced fumbles and a pass batted. Gipson earned an invitation to the Senior Bowl, but was not a star in Mobile. -
Alton Robinson, DE, Syracuse
Height: 6-3. Weight: 259. Arm: 32.13. Hand: 9.13.
40 Time: 4.69.
Projected Round (2020): 4-6.
4/22/20: In 2019, Robinson totaled 46 tackles with 4.5 sacks, three passes batted and a forced fumble. He first saw playing time as a sophomore in 2017, totaling 30 tackles, five sacks and a forced fumble. Robinson really improved in 2018, racking up 10 sacks, 17 tackles for a loss, 39 tackles, three forced fumbles and two passes defended. Robinson was okay, but not impressive, at the Senior Bowl. -
Oluwole Betiku Jr.*, DE, Illinois
Height: 6-3. Weight: 250.
Projected 40 Time: 4.80.
Projected Round (2020): 4-6.
4/22/20: Betiku decided to skip his senior year after having a strong season for the Illini, recording nine sacks and 36 tackles for 2019. He transferred to Illinois from USC and is a 1-year wonder who has size issues for the next level. -
McTelvin Agim, DE/DT, Arkansas
Height: 6-3. Weight: 307. Arm: 33.63. Hand: 10
40 Time: 4.98.
Projected Round (2020): 5-7.
4/22/20: In 2019, Agim totaled 39 tackles with five sacks and a forced fumble. Sources say he is a tweener tackle/end who has some tightness athletically but has some suddenness. He had a solid week at the Senior Bowl.
6/29/19: Agim had 4.5 sacks with 45 tackles, 10 tackles for a loss, three forced fumbles and one pass batted for the Razorbacks in 2018. He notched 37 tackles and 27 tackles, respectively, over the previous two seasons while totaling five sacks in that time. -
Christian Rector, DE, USC
Height: 6-4. Weight: 275.
Projected 40 Time: 4.78.
Projected Round (2020): 6-FA.
4/22/20: Rector turned in a disappointing 2019 season, recording 19 tackles with a sack and an interception. He didn’t play up to his skill set.
6/29/19: In 2018, Rector totaled 48 tackles with nine for a loss, 4.5 sacks, two passes batted and one forced fumble. He was a solid defender for USC, but was wise to return to the Trojans to improve before going pro.
With Porter Gustin injured in 2017, Rector took advantage of the opportunity to have an impressive season for the Trojans. He totaled 7.5 sacks with 11 tackles for a loss, 35 tackles and two forced fumbles on the year. Rector was also held back by a hand injury that forced him to miss a couple of games after surgery. As Gustin’s replacement, Rector showed some flexibility to play defensive end and outside linebacker. -
Trevon Hill, DE, Miami
Height: 6-3. Weight: 233. Arm: 32.38. Hand: 9.13.
40 Time: 4.89.
Projected Round (2020): 6-FA.
4/22/20: Hills had 27 tackles with 4.5 sacks and a pass defended in 2019. He did not impress at the Senior Bowl.
6/29/19: Hill landed in Miami after being dismissed from Virginia Tech’s football team. He was a decent defender for the Hokies over the past three seasons, collecting 11.5 sacks during that time. He only played in three games in 2018 before getting kicked off the team, but he totaled 3.5 sacks, 4.5 tackles for a loss and 11 tackles in those three games. -
La’Darius Hamilton, DE, North Texas
Height: 6-3. Weight: 262. Arm: 32.13. Hand: 9.25.
40 Time: 4.89.
Projected Round (2020): 6-FA.
4/22/20: In 2019, Hamilton totaled 39 tackles and 8.5 sacks. Sources say Hamilton could be a late-rounder or undrafted free agent.
6/29/19: Hamilton didn’t do much as a freshman or sophomore but then broke out as a junior with 7.5 sacks, 11 tackles for a loss, 33 tackles and one pass batted. He was placed on NFL teams’ preseason watch list, with some projecting him to have potential to be a pick in the back half of the 2020 draft. -
Keisean Lucier-South, DE/OLB, UCLA
Height: 6-4. Weight: 235.
Projected 40 Time: 4.65.
Projected Round (2020): 6-FA.
4/22/20: Lucier-South was suspended from games and practice because of academic issues, but he returned to the field to total 17 tackles with 2.5 sacks, three passes batted and a forced fumble for his 2019.
6/29/19: Lucier-South totaled 46 tackles with 11.5 tackles for a loss, four sacks, six passes batted and two forced fumbles in 2018. As a sophomore, he recorded 53 tackles with 5.5 tackles for a loss, one sack, one forced fumble, and two passes broken up. -
Malcolm Roach, DE, Texas
Height: 6-3. Weight: 297. Arm: 31.88. Hand: 9.63.
40 Time: 4.84.
Projected Round (2020): 7-FA.
4/22/20: Roach had 40 tackles and three sacks and a pass batted in 2019.
6/29/19: Roach had 24 tackles and zero sacks in 2018. He made it onto NFL teams’ preseason watch list. In 2017, Roach totaled 37 tackles with four tackles for a loss, two sacks and one pass broken up. Some teams are projecting him to have potential for the back half of the 2020 NFL Draft or being an undrafted free agent. -
Houston Miller*, DE, Texas Tech
Height: 6-4. Weight: 275.
Projected 40 Time: 4.82.
Projected Round (2020): FA.
4/22/20: Miller had one tackle as a backup defensive lineman and special teams contributor in 2019, but for some reason, he decided to declare for the 2020 NFL Draft rather than trying to earn playing time at Texas Tech. It would be a shock if he were drafted.
