Position rank 12, big board 52, projected round 2-3, shades of Dietrich Weise
Enagbare is one of the most headscratching evaluations in the draft class. His
pass-rush win rate was one of the highest in
the country over the past two years. Despite
that, he rarely finishes plays and doesn't
always look pretty when he is winning. He's
also not the high-end athlete who usually
wins at the position, as he actually wins with
length and power. All that comes together
to form a unique prospect profile that
doesn't have much precedent.
PROS
Heavy, heavy hands. When he times his swipe
right, he knocks down punches with ease.
Ø Ideal length for the edge. Long arms can
match or exceed most tackles he'll face.
Ø Still very productive in the SEC. Two years of
elite pass-rushing grades.
CONS
v Limited juice and runs super hot and cold.
Some reps look like he's trying to get blocked.
v Liability in space. Struggles mightily to wrap up
ball carriers.
v Plays borderline out of control. No consistency
to his technique
Hands: That's quite easily his trump-card trait. Honestly, that's almost exclusively where he wins.
When he times them right, there wasn't a tackle who could hang with them.
HANDS
Enagbare is most comfortable from a wide-9 or 3-4 OLB alignment. He doesn't play with
consistent enough leverage to feel great about him over tackles or tight ends.
WIDE 9
Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Enagbare almost looks like a different position player
who's been asked to rush the passer sometimes.
It's encouraging Enagbare graded so well despite any sort of refinement
to his game, but will that refinement ever come is the question

all those guys are much lower than Enagbare, who is significantly above average at RAS.
