This is my final of 12 positional breakdowns leading up to Thursday’s first round of the NFL Draft. Here are my top 10 defensive tackles.
Vernon Butler, Louisiana Tech senior (6-foot-4, 323 pounds)
His combination of power and quickness is rare. His skillset as a pass rusher from the interior excites most NFL evaluators. He is talented enough to play on both odd and even fronts.
Andrew Billings, Baylor junior (6-1, 311)
Billings is a playmaking nose tackle with the ability to dominate at the point of attack with elite power and unusual closing speed for a man his size.
