NFL DRAFT PREVIEW • APRIL 27-29 • PHILADELPHIA
Myles GarrettDL, 6-4, 272, Texas A&MNotable: All-American last season and one of the best pass rushers in the country despite some nagging injuries.Scouting report: Elite speed, quickness and strength adds up to a potentially dominant pass rusher with only the need to stay on the field more.Outlook: Odds on favorite to be No. 1 overall pick.
Solomon ThomasDL, 6-3, 273, StanfordNotable: Pac-12 defensive player of the year in 2016 and has been gaining steam in the postseason draft process.Scouting report: Gets rid of blockers with strength and quickness, though he might need to add some bulk and power to handle massive NFL linemen.Outlook: Top-five proba-ble. Top-10 seems like a lock.
Jamal AdamsS, 6-0, 214, LSUNotable: Son of former Kentucky running back George Adams, who played for the New York Giants.Scouting report: Adams gets high marks for leadership, on top of elite athletic ability, and makes it difficult to find flaws here.Outlook: Adams won't go first overall, but he can make the case.
Jonathan AllenDL, 6-3, 286, AlabamaNotable: Finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2016 and won two defensive player of the year awards (Bednar-ik and Nagurski).Scouting report: A funda-mentally sound and furious competitor, who can play inside and out, but not ideal length on the edge.Outlook: If Allen slips out of the top-10, it won't be very far.
Malik HookerS, 6-1, 206, Ohio StateNotable: Hooker was a Division I basketball prospect coming out of high school and started just one season at Ohio State.Scouting report: Side-line-to-sideline range and excellent instincts in the passing game, but needs improvement playing close to the line.Outlook: Safeties are not often selected in the top-10. Hooker and Adams are likely to buck that trend.
