He fits best as a stand-up 3-4 OLB or weak-side EDGE in a multiple-front defense that lets him attack from space, rush from wider alignments, and play fast in sub-packages. The concern is whether his 2026 season at Notre Dame shows more play strength, hand timing, rush-plan consistency, and durability after the 2024 ACL injury. His starting pathway is clear, but the next step is turning high-end flashes into a steadier three-down profile. PLAYER COMPARISON: Josh Uche Traore fits the Josh Uche archetype as a stand-up rush linebacker with the first-step burst, length, and closing speed to stress tackles from space. Like Uche, his best NFL role is built around attacking from wider alignments, winning with speed before power, and expanding into a fuller role if the hand usage and run-game strength continue to develop.

← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Daylen Everette Georgia HT: 6010 WT: 190 YR: SR POS: CB OVR RK 79 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL KEY STRENGTHS Prototype Size and Length Outstanding vertical speed Disruptive at Catch Point KEY CONCERNS Zone awareness Off-cov. eye discipline Double Move Susceptibility PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Everette is a prototypical boundary corner with outstanding straight-line speed, very good length, and strong press-man tools. He thrives when aligned in tight coverage, where his patient jam technique, mirroring ability, and hip fluidity allow him to stay in phase vertically and disrupt timing. His closing speed shows up at the catch point and as a blitzer, and he relishes top-receiver matchups. However, his zone processing and off-coverage eye discipline remain inconsistent, and his run-game urgency and tackling angles fluctuate. Everette projects best in press-heavy, man-match schemes that allow him to challenge receivers at the line and limit extended off-zone responsibilities. PLAYER COMPARISON: CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS High-End Starter Potential (65-69) A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position. Primary scout: Brandon Lundberg Football Scout 365 NFL Draft Grade Scale Football Scout 365 grades reflect a prospect’s projected long-term NFL value and role. Draft ranges are general value projections, not predictions of an exact selection. Positional value, team needs, scheme fit, medical information and athletic testing can influence where a player is ultimately selected. How Football Scout 365 Grades NFL Draft Prospects Elite (75+): A rare, high-impact prospect with elite physical tools, advanced football intelligence and the ability to make an immediate NFL impact. Elite prospects carry franchise-altering potential and typically project as top 5–10 selections in the first round. Near Elite (70–74): A high-caliber prospect with outstanding physical tools, strong football intelligence and only minor developmental limitations. Near Elite prospects project as significant early-career contributors with Pro Bowl upside and first-round draft value. High-End Starter Potential (65–69): A starting-caliber prospect with strong physical tools, quality technical skills and a defined NFL role. These players may require development before reaching their ceiling but generally carry second- or third-round draft value. Mid-Level Starter Potential (60–64): A solid prospect with NFL-level tools and a pathway to becoming a dependable starter if key limitations are addressed. These players generally carry third- to fifth-round draft value. Low-Level Starter Potential (55–59): A developmental prospect who could become a low-end starter, high-end backup or valuable specialist in the right role. These players generally carry fifth- to seventh-round draft value. Backup Level (50–54): A depth or rotational prospect with enough functional ability to compete for an NFL roster spot but limited long-term starting potential. These players generally project as late Day 3 selections or priority undrafted free agents. Not NFL Level (Below 50): A developmental or camp prospect who does not currently demonstrate enough consistency, technical refinement or functional NFL traits to project as a regular contributor. These players generally project as undrafted free agents, practice-squad candidates or camp invitations. Draft position can vary based on positional value, team needs, scheme fit, medical evaluation and athletic testing.

← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Josh Simmons Ohio State HT: 6050 WT: 310 YR: SR POS: OT OVR RK 25 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 4 KEY STRENGTHS Excellent Foot Quickness Refined Pass Pro Positional Versatility KEY CONCERNS Upper-Body Strength Struggles Against Twists & Stunts Penalties & Inconsistency PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Josh Simmons is an athletic, fluid-moving tackle with good foot quickness, balance, and hand activity. He offers positional versatility, having started games at both left and right tackle, but will need refinement to handle NFL edge rushers consistently. His pass protection ability stands out, as he operates with a natural feel for pocket depth and excellent lateral mobility to protect the edge. While Simmons can mirror speed rushers effectively, he still struggles against power, often catching defenders instead of delivering a firm punch. His season-ending knee injury raises concerns regarding durability, and his inconsistent recognition of twists and stunts needs improvement. He projects best as a zone-scheme left tackle or a right tackle in a movement-based offense, but he may require a redshirt rookie year to fully recover and refine his play strength.
