David Bailey is coming off a true breakout 2025 season at Texas Tech and is now widely projected as a top-10 pick after proving he can be a weekly game-wrecker against high-level competition. At 6’3”, ~250, Bailey wins with first-step burst, bend, and a deep pass-rush bag, and the production matches the traits—he posted 14.5 sacks in 2025 and consistently finished pressures with real closing speed. His PFF profile reflects that impact as well, with Bailey grading out at the top of the college EDGE group as a pass rusher. The evaluation hinges on whether he can keep building play strength and run-game anchor, but in a 3-4 OLB / hybrid EDGE role, he projects as an immediate third-down difference-maker with legitimate Round 1 ceiling.
