Its always fun to dream about who we take in the early rounds, but I like to take a look at some of the later round talent and theres always a few gems to be found late.
I really like the depth at DT in this draft regardless of a few so called experts proclaiming that this draft is not that deep at DL, I think it is.
Here are a few of the DTs that should be going in rounds 4-6, maybe Hardison has the best chance to get into the 3rd by draft day.
Marcus Hardison, DT, Arizona State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 307.
Projected 40 Time: 5.28
Hardison is a bit of a defensive end in a defensive tackle's body, showing impressive quick-twitch athleticism for a man of his bulk. He was clocked in the high 4.8s to mid 4.9s on two attempts at the 40 yard dash and came in at 4.65 seconds in the short shuttle and 7.29 seconds in the 3 cone drill. Hardison's quickness makes him one of the more intriguing interior pass rushers among this year's defensive tackles.
Christian Covington*, DT, Rice
Height: 6-2. Weight: 289.
Projected 40 Time: 5.19
Joey Mbu, DT, Houston
Height: 6-2. Weight: 315.
40 Time: 5.54.
David Parry, DT, Stanford
Height: 6-1. Weight: 308.
40 Time: 5.18
Parry is a sleeper prospect who could be a nice value pick. After serving as a backup, he became a starter as a senior. Parry was a tough defender for Stanford in 2014 as he totaled 34 tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks. Parry is very strong at the point of attack and is reliable at controlling his gap. He had an impressive week at the East-West Shrine and was one of the best defensive linemen there.
