Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma
At 6-foot-2, 304 pounds, Gallimore continued to open eyes with his play in 2019 and beyond. He impressed during the Senior Bowl week putting his name in the conversation to be drafted at the bottom of the first round. Gallimore has the size and motor to be disruptive versus the pass but also play on early run downs. He finished his 2019 campaign with 30 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, and two forced fumbles.
What the experts say:
Draft Network: Gallimore isn’t necessarily a huge finisher and hasn’t rolled up huge production in the backfield but make no mistake, his initial quickness, power, hand counters and motor will provide plenty of disruption up front for even front teams looking to collapse the pocket and get opposing quarterbacks on their heels. Gallimore has viable three down ability thanks to his short area agility. An NFL starter.
Fansided: In the right scheme, he can be an immediately impactful and disruptive pass rusher lining up at the 1-technique. It may take a bit of adjustment and development of his skills to become an every-down run defender, but Gallimore certainly has the tools to become one of the best interior defensive linemen from the 2020 class.
NFL: Flash talent whose tape has moments but fails to fully deliver. Gallimore goes hard from snap to whistle with secondary effort that brings decent production, but his NFL potential may be limited by a lack of leverage and contact balance. Oklahoma had him playing in the gaps but he might be more effective improving his hands and learning to two-gap. Unless he turns the flashes into a finished product, his future may be as a rotation tackle in an even front.
