Now, with all of that in thoughts we are going to use Pro Football Focus (PFF) mock draft simulator for this train.

Micah Parsons 2.0? From their bodily make-up, athleticism, LB/DE versatility, all the way down to the No. 11 jersey they each wore at Penn State, Abdul Carter and Micah Parsons are very related gamers. Carter (6’3″, 260) continues to be somewhat uncooked after making the transition from LB to DE, however he’s a High 10 prospect within the 2025 NFL Draft and one Dallas should not move on if he’s obtainable.

Most spectacular factor I got here away from #Oregon DT Derrick Harmon’s efficiency vs. Ohio State: how efficient he was within the run sport in opposition to double groups. A pair instances he anchored in opposition to doubles and made run stops.

At 6’1″, 216-pounds he has the prototypical measurement of a RB1 and the ability set to be an improve over what they at the moment have on the place. He’d be the third consecutive Kansas State participant drafted by Dallas (Deuce Vaughn, Cooper Beebe).
