DT Prospect Rankings
The Steelers figure to dip into the defensive line talent pool, and that could very well end up being in the first round. Football insights made a fun graphic of the last several draft classes of first-round DTs and how the current class stacks up to the others coming out of college.
Derrick Harmon would have the highest missed tackle percentage of any DT in the first round tracked on this chart, which probably contributed to his poor run-stop percentage. He stacks up favorably in pass rush metrics. Kenneth grant rarely misses tackles, but wasn’t very impressive otherwise relative to the rest of the first rounders.
