Average Backup Or Special-Teamer
Analysis
By Nolan Nawrocki NFL Analyst
Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5
Overview
Short, scrappy, instinctive, highly productive defensive lineman who does not look the part, but inspires confidence he can be an exception to the rule. Is the type you root for and has the quickness, athleticism and motor to earn a spot as a rotational three-technique in a fast-flowing 4-3 scheme.
Strengths
Quick off the snap
Natural leverage
Gets under pads and into gaps
Good foot athlete -- redirects well and can work the edges and loop and stunt
Flexible enough to zone drop in short area
Plays with awareness and consistently locates the ball
Closes hard and fast
Keeps working to the ball
Disruptive penetrating ability
Outstanding career production -- 63 TFL and 27.5 sacks the last three seasons
Tough and competitive
Team captain with terrific personal and football character
Weaknesses
Marginal height and frame is nearly maxed out
Hands are more active than strong -- could play with more pop and power
Overpowered in the run game and ground up by double teams
Gets snared and controlled by bigger, longer blockers
Not a two-gap player
Has some tweener traits -- lacks ideal length and bend to play outside
I wish Nolan Nawrocki was our GM
I think the prospects name is ....................................

Round 6
Overview
Durant might be undersized, but he plays with tremendous confidence and competitiveness. He will have issues against bigger slot targets from time to time but proved his ability against receivers of all sizes against Clemson. He plays with good foot quickness and above-average ball skills to attack the throw. He'll be targeted in run support so he will need to be used judiciously. Durant profiles as a late Day 3 selection due to his size, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him outperform his draft slotting.
