Strengths: Powerful throughout his legs. Very quick. Able to generate disruption on the inside. Has good hands technique.

Concerns: May be too light to play nose.

Comments: The consensus Number 2 DT in the draft, Ellis is an elite run-stopper and can generate pressure on the quarterback. He has amassed 4.5 sacks in each of his last two seasons before this year in which he finished with 8.5. His quickness and power are desired qualities in an NFL defensive tackle.

Strengths: Perfect combination of strength and speed and will beat blockers with either on any given play. Can play both three-technique and nose. Excellent run stopper and never gives up on a play.

Concerns: Leg inuries in the past two years are a slight concern but Dorsey has shown the guts to play through nagging injuries.

Comments: The odds on favorite for the number one overall pick, Dorsey has rare game-changing talent as an interior defennsive lineman. I don’t believe that concerns over two straight years of nagging leg inuries with scare away teams like Miami and Oakland who are looking to shore up bad run defenses.
