​#42 christian wilkins vs. Boston college (2018)

Strengths: Versatile player who could play anywhere on a defensive line in either a 4-3 or 3-4 alignment. Excellent athleticism, especially for a man his size. Intelligent player who got his degree in only two and a half years. Good lateral movement and surprising agility. Able to drop into coverage in zone-blitz schemes. Can knock down passes, having batted down 15 passes in his time at Clemson. He gets good leverage in battles with an offensive lineman. As a team leader, has a reputation as a good citizen and a positive locker-room presence Has played well in big games in college, including the national championship game

Weaknesses
: Had trouble when facing double teams in college. Does not have what some would consider ideal length. Despite Wilkins size, some question his lower body strength. As with all players who are surrounded by elite-level talent (as he was at Clemson), there are questions about whether he will be as dominant when the players around him are not far superior to opposing teams.

Draft Grade: 6.12

Draft Projection
:  First round

Does He Fit?: Yes, but whether he will be available when the Rams pick at 31 in the first round is very questionable.
