#32 Malcolm roach vs Oklahoma st (2019)

#32 MALCOLM ROACH HIGHTLIGHTS (2019)

Strengths: He has a great reaction time that stems from a significant first step. His first step is so quick that he can get below the interior offensive lineman and deflate the pocket. Against the run game, he does a tremendous job in one-on-one battles and able to make the tackle. He will fit in any defensive scheme, whether it is 3-4 or 4-3 schemes.

Weaknesses: He is a tweener, not sure to list as a defensive tackle or an edge rusher. He does struggle in space, and more than likely be better inside as an interior down lineman. His arms are shorter than expected and places at a disadvantage at the EDGE. He will need to add weight to his frame to persevere himself as an every-down interior lineman. He has no refinement to his pass-rushing moves. He does tend to give up on plays on the backside, where he lacks good lateral movement.​

Draft Grade: 5.60

Draft Projection: 5th round
