No. 184: Baylor DT Bravvion Roy
Derrick Brown was never going to be able to fill the void at defensive tackle by himself. Not after the team lost Gerald McCoy, Dontari Poe and Vernon Butler to free agency. Kyle Love also remains unsigned.
Roy should make for a good fit given the team’s interior needs and his previous experience playing for Matt Rhule. He has the look of a classic space-eater and run stuffer in the same mold as Poe at 6-foot-1 and 333 pounds. However, he also showed some potential as a pass rusher in college. Last season, he posted 5.5 sacks.
Most sixth-round picks don’t see a lot of playing time as rookies, but Roy could be an exception to the rule. Given the lack of depth inside, he could see significant snaps rotating in behind Brown and Kawann Short.
Grade: B
