NFL Draft: Greg Gabriel breaks down the 2018 class on defense
As I wrote earlier in the week, grades on players are always fluid as the information gathering process continues. With the Combine still a few weeks away, we are missing a very important ingredient for finalizing a grade, and that is verified measurables. For many of the seniors, we have verified heights, weights and arm lengths from the various All-Star games, but with the underclassmen, we have nothing. In both cases we have no verified speed, which is very important, especially with the skill-position players.
That being said, the defensive side of the ball in this draft appears to be a fairly good, but not a great class.
