One of the hardest commodities to find for NFL teams is defensive tackles that have the ability to put together good sack totals. Interior rushers that also have the size and strength to defend the run go early in the NFL Draft as they are few and far between for entering the NFL. While he is not seasoned in football, Florida Gators defensive tackle Emmanuel Oyebadejo has shown interior pass rush ability with an excellent skill set of height, weight, speed, and athleticism. As a result, multiple team sources think Oyebadejo could be a first-round pick next April.
“I think there is a chance he goes in the first,” said an AFC director of player personnel. “6-6, 300 pounds, shredded and explosive, still raw but limited exposure to the game and at a premium position. He already has 4.5 sacks.”
Thus far in 2026, Oyebadejo has 17 tackles and 4.5 sacks in his debut in big-time college football. In 2025, Oyebadejo had 41 tackles with 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and five passes batted with Jacksonville State. “Round two for sure,” said an AFC director of college scouting. “Big, strong, powerful guy that is a little stiff. HE’s still figuring out how to play at the next level up. And will need another transition period when he gets to us.
“Traits teams will like him,” said an AFC national scout. “He’s going to crush the workouts.”
“He’s going in the first round,” texted an NFC director of player personnel.
