Related Topics: Defense (sports)

If the best prospect in this year’s draft class somehow winds up not being Myles Garrett, look no further than the defensive tackle spot for option No. 2. Alabama’s Jonathan Allen paces this position group, which also includes another likely Round 1 guy (Malik McDowell), plus a deep roster of proven playmakers.

Rank Player School Measurables
1 Jonathan Allen Alabama 6' 3", 294 lbs.
2 Malik McDowell Michigan State 6' 6", 276 lbs.
