STRENGTHS

• He is your classic read & react player…who excels best in space where he can utilize his athleticism…and run down plays along the field
• He reminds me of current NFL/ LB “Vic Beasley” 2.0…he is the prospect I would have liked Beasley to be more like caming out of Clemson in 2015…Edmunds possesses more natural instincts for the game than Beasley did…though Beasley displayed a bit more pass rush upside
• He displays a good instinct for locating and maintaining ball location whenever on the field of play
• He displays the type of speed & athleticism to frequently defeat angles and make his way to ball as a sideline to sideline performer…along with utilizing his speed to shortens plays wide to his side…and then effectively funneling plays inside
• He provides a sudden & aggressive attacking style of play to the field…which becomes infectious to others around him on that side of the ball
• His FUNCTIONAL agility & athleticism for a player of his size ON THE FIELD is outstanding
• He possesses outstanding active/ quick foot agility…excellent closing speed…along with excellent short & long area explosion allowing him quick change of direction making plays on ball carriers
• He displays a healthy amount of hand violence fighting blockers at POA on his path to the ball
• Once he squares up on ball carriers he drives through them on tackles…frequently stopping their momentum forward on initial contact
• He displays excellent skill and instinct as a pass defender…his combination of athleticism…footwork…reactionary skills…and quick instinctive break on the ball make him a handful when throwing his direction

WEAKNESSES

• Lacks natural edge rusher skill when lined up on the edge…not projected as high volume sack total performer at next level
• Not consistent enough taking on blockers & DEFEATING them at POA… needs improved hand technique shedding blockers more effectively
• Could use improved pursuit angles in pursuit of ball
• Needs improvement making way through traffic…and tackling in space on ball carriers

PROJECTED ROUND

1st Round (Top 10)

MY VALUE BOARD

1st Round (15 & Down)

SUMMARY

• Though I feel Edmunds possesses skills that can impact any game…his lack as a legit edge rusher when lined up on the edge drops his draft value in my eyes.
• However…Edmunds is a legit (Top 15) overall talent period!
