5. Ross Blacklock, TCU 6-4, 305 (Late 1st)
Why He’s Here On The List: Ultra-quick with just enough size to be moved around to a variety of spots on a line, he’s an interior pass rusher with the upside and body to add a bit more to his frame – he can play heavier if needed. He still has he best football ahead of him if he can stay healthy.
What The NFL Types Want To See: Supreme athleticism. He has to look and move like one of the most athletic big men on the field with the upside to become a dominant force. He has to look like he’s well past the torn Achilles that knocked him out for all of 2018.
Bottom Line: For being an occasionally unblockable force, he only came up with 3.5 sacks last season and nine tackles for loss. He’s got the size and the athleticism to be a terror, but he needs a great workout to be a first round lock. A dominant combine pushes him into the top 20.
