This is another concern of mine. Baltimore re-signed Travis Jones DT who was probably the only decent looking DT FA after 2025. Bit of a drop-off after him. So looking at the draft - we really might need to consider this position early; Peter Woods (Clemson) 6-3 315 Jr. So far ranked typically in the top 5 overall. Christen Miller (Georgia) 6-4 305 RJr. Currently ranked mid-to late 1st round. Curious to hear what others think about Kayden McDonald (Ohio St.) Jr. 6-2 326 because some strictly consider him a nose tackle in a 3-4.
Posted in the other thread but I like both Oregon tackles - Washington & Bear Alexander. Big physical dudes that can anchor as nose tackles. Not huge pass rushing upside but that’s ok. Peter Wood’s tape doesn’t look great to me. He’s wildly talented. Big, fast, strong. Only 20 years old but he looks very tentative. He looks like he tries to hand fight way too early in engagements when he should be able to railroad guys given his speed/power combo. High floor given his age and ability, low ceiling though. I’d skip DT in the top ten this year.
If Mekai Lemon is off the board by pick 16 there’s a very good chance we’re drafting Peter Woods. Every mock I’ve run leaves either Woods or Sonny Styles as the options when the WR’s are gone.
