QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | OG | OC | DT | DE | OLB | ILB | CB | FS | SS | All Rankings

1. Peria Jerry | 6'3, 295 pounds | Mississippi

Perry is the model of a three-technique tackle. He's lightning quick off the line and can shoot the gaps really well. He can make an impact up front.

Scouting Report

2. B.J. Raji | 6'1, 325 pounds | Boston College

Raji is a sometimes impossible to move player who can fill running lanes and collapse the pocket. He was impressive as a senior, but has had some inconsistency issues.

Scouting Report

3. Fili Moala | 6'5, 298 pounds | USC

Moala is an undersized defensive tackle who does a good job of consistently getting into the backfield. He's a perfect fit for a cover-2 defense.

Scouting Report

4. Ron Brace | 6'3, 326 pounds | Boston College

Somewhat overlooked playing alongside Raji, Brace is a quick, penetrating tackle. He's big and physical and will be a real find for some team.
