Chris Long- DE- Virginia- DE- #91- 6030- 272- 4.75
Positives- Relentless motor. Amazing use of his hands and great technique. Great bull rush. Explosive first step when rushing the passer. Great use of leverage. Has a lot of moves when rushing the passer. Dominant against the run. Extremely strong. Gets in passing lanes and bats down a lot of passes. Versatile.

Negatives- Can be overpowered by bigger lineman in the run game. Frame is maxed out. How much potential does he have?

Overall- Safest pick in the draft but also has one of the higher ceilings. Versatile and can play DE in a 4-3 or OLB in a 3-4. Can also slide inside in both defenses. Played nearly every spot in Virginia's 3-4 defense last season and was dominant in every aspect of the game. Might not lead the league in sacks every season but should be a solid 8-10 sack guy with potential to get more. Best suited in a defense where he can move around and play multiple positions.
