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.
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.

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
