INTERIOR DEFENSIVE LINE
Rashard Lawrence | LSU
Similar to Jalen Hurts, it’s strange to think of Lawrence as underrated after the career he had in Baton Rouge. The defensive anchor in the trenches for one of college football’s powerhouse programs, Lawrence was an unquestioned leader for a often dominant defense.
While some may point to his lack of elite athleticism, Lawrence more than makes up for it with his physical playing style, his ability to line up anywhere on the defensive line, and his intangible value as a vocal leader on the field and in the locker room. If he’s still on the board after the second round, he’ll be a huge steal.
