Like this one. There's some upside there.

Pressures are nice, but sack-makers get paid and that won't happen unless he cranks up the effort and plays to his traits and potential. Garvin has Day 2 talent, but may not go until Day 3. However, there might be gold to mine if a coach can get it out of him.

Weighs 263? He’s got to be an edge, right? Way too small to be a 3-4 DE

Swing for the fences. Like it. Hopefully can coach him up to potential.

Overview
Traits-based edge defender capable of playing 4-3 end or 3-4 rush linebacker. Garvin's strong 2018 was followed up with inconsistent effort and an inability to stamp his presence on games with much consistency. He gains depth upfield quickly and is fairly natural at defeating the punch and flipping the corner. Pressures are nice, but sack-makers get paid and that won't happen unless he cranks up the effort and plays to his traits and potential. Garvin has Day 2 talent, but may not go until Day 3. However, there might be gold to mine if a coach can get it out of him.

Strengths
First three upfield steps gain space in race to the turn
Rushes with good forward lean
Works to half-man attack consistently
Intriguing instincts and hand usage to grease the edge and access the pocket
Closing burst to walk down scrambling quarterbacks
Looks lean but can pop and stop a pulling guard
Uses length to separate and find tackle opportunities
Clicks physicality switch when he needs to
Long strides are rangy in pursuit
Has grown into long frame, but still has room for more

Weaknesses
Smooth frame lacks definition and weight room receipts
Urgency and consistent explosiveness are missing from his rush
Not enough secondary effort when early rush attempt stalls
Inside counter is missing from his rush plan
Seemed to be coasting and getting by at times in 2019
Additional play strength is needed
Will give ground at the point of attack
Gets jostled and knocked off-balance

Seems like someone worth drafting, so that's an improvement.

Perfect 7th round pick, high upside. I like it.

It was 28 this morning. Froze my butt walking out Turkey hunting. Came back at 1 and it was 60.

Hard to dress for 30 degree temp swings but not complaining

Oh and an EDGE with upside in the 7th. Perfect pick.

I would agree, Special Teams with depth at Edge.

I saw some highlights when he was standing up at the line b4 the snap.

I should’ve added that the reason I brought it up is because the packers list him as DL, not LB like they do with all the other edge guys.

Interesting prospect. Definitely feels more like a DE then an edge rusher, wonder if they are going to ask him to bulk up maybe?

Perfect kind of guy to take a flyer on in the 7th, I like it.
