← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Peter Woods Clemson HT: 6030 WT: 315 YR: JR POS: IDL OVR RK 26 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL KEY STRENGTHS Explosive first step Versatility to play anywhere Powerful hands KEY CONCERNS Pass-rush plan Pad level + anchor Balance/finish PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Woods is an explosive, twitch-heavy interior defender with rare first-step quickness and natural leverage that allows him to disrupt blocking schemes before they develop. At 6’3”, 310+ pounds with elite burst and lateral agility, he profiles as a penetrating 3-technique who can align across multiple fronts. His 2023–2024 tape shows dominant disruption traits, while his 2025 production dip appears more contextual than ability-based. He wins with speed-to-power, violent hands, and interior quickness, but must continue developing counters and finishing consistency as a pass rusher. Woods projects best in attacking, one-gap defensive systems that prioritize interior penetration and disruption rather than static two-gap anchoring.

- Trey'Dez Green
← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Trey'Dez Green LSU HT: 6070 WT: 240 YR: JR POS: TE OVR RK 29 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL TE2 High-End Starter Potential KEY STRENGTHS Rare receiving frame Red-zone dominance Alignment Versatility KEY CONCERNS Blocking Technique Route Detail Frame/Play Strength PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Trey’Dez Green is a move/F tight end with rare size, catch radius, and vertical receiving value for the 2027 NFL Draft. He wins as a supersized mismatch weapon who can flex into the slot, attack the seam, dominate red-zone targets, and finish through contact with basketball-style body control. His grade is built on receiving traits that can create early NFL matchup value in spread, play-action, and 12-personnel passing structures. The concern is whether his blocking strength, in-line technique, and route detail improve enough for him to become a complete TE1 rather than a high-end receiving specialist. PLAYER COMPARISON: Mike Gesicki / Darnell Washington Green has a Mike Gesicki-style receiving profile because of the basketball background, vertical catch radius, red-zone usage, and ability to function as a supersized slot or move tight end. The Darnell Washington piece shows up more in the rare frame and size-adjusted athleticism, though Green is a more natural receiving separator while Washington entered the league with a much stronger blocking identity. Green’s ceiling is higher if the blocking develops because the receiving traits already give him a defined NFL mismatch role.

← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Chris McClellan Missouri HT: 6040 WT: 323 YR: SR POS: IDL OVR RK 95 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL KEY STRENGTHS Explosive first step Strong play strength Disruptive pass-rush ability KEY CONCERNS Inconsistent pad level Upright at times Refined rush sequencing PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT McClellan is a disruptive, powerful interior defensive lineman with legitimate three-down upside. He combines size, length (34” arms), and explosive first-step quickness to win both as a penetrator and as a gap-control defender. When playing with proper leverage, he is extremely difficult to move and can control double teams or collapse the pocket with a heavy bull rush. His motor, snap anticipation, and competitive toughness elevate his impact. However, inconsistent pad level and leverage discipline limit his down-to-down reliability. McClellan projects as a rotational Year 1 contributor with the upside to develop into a high-impact interior starter in multiple fronts.
