2025 NFL Free Agency and Draft: DT

I can’t get over how much Landon Jackson looks like the dude from Barry pic.twitter.com/OV730aEpxW

NoHo Landon?

Don't know what Barry is but it's hard to believe that's not the same guy.

So Texas A&M EDGE Shemar Stewart is telling people at the NFL Combine he will run in the high 4.4s or low 4.5s tomorrow.

I don’t know what you’re doing with your life.

If we can get a 2nd rounder for Darnold, that's the pick I'd trade down to rebuild our draft. I might keep 24 for Stewart or to be in range of the Tampa's pick 19 if Jeanty falls there. Probably won't get past the Cowboys, but he certainly won't get past the Broncos at 20.

Stewart is definitely generating buzz. If he continues momentum and has an excellent combine, I think he cements himself in the top 15

According to Wolfson, DT Milton Williams is "absolutely" on the Vikings free agent radar

The DTs with 35” arm length measurements this morning: Josh Farmer (FSU), Vernon Broughton (Texas) and Yahya Black (Iowa). Other notable DTs with arm length of 34” or longer:
-Derrick Harmon, ORE (34 3/8)
-Darius Alexander, Toledo (34)
-Alfred Collins, Texas (34 5/8)

Ty Williams and CJ West moved really well in the other drills.

10’11” broad jump from Shemar Stewart…

99th percentile of Combine history.

Better than Combine legends like Myles Garrett and Montez Sweat 🤯 pic.twitter.com/ODidGzhzV6

Boys, I think we got something here.

From what I've read, he played the season at 290 and weighed in at the Senior Bowl at 281. If he can stay in the 4.6's at the 290 weight, he'll destroy people. That's Aaron Donald shit. But I think that rocket has launched. He's going to go very very early to a 4-3 team.

At that lower weight, a lot of his pressures will turn into hits and sacks.

He moved very well in all the drills.

Derrick Harmon, iDL, #Oregon

One prospect that was impressive yesterday. In a loaded defensive line class, he solidified himself as a first round pick.

Love his fit with the Bengals, Packers or Vikings pic.twitter.com/6Cxz2YAFAM

I like Harmon a lot more than Nolen. Sucks to have the Packers picking right before us with similar needs.

Don’t worry, they’ll pick the wrong guy. Poor track record of getting 1s to a second contract.

How about another quick game of Who Would You Do?! Which defensive line option are you picking for the Vikings next season!? #SKOL pic.twitter.com/PtBAwpavDd

More boxes checked. 34” arms and you pump out that many reps? Strong.

Agree....among those options. But I'd like to offer a 4th option: Milton Williams - Harrison Phillips - Derrick Harmon. Everyone keeps pushing Phillips outside in favor of the fatty inside. Phillips often swings between inside and outside, but I don't think he offers much in the way of a pass rush outside. Prefer to keep him inside, with better pass rushers outside. But who knows what Flores has in mind.

Obviously there is a lot of context to this, but I found it interesting that when CJ West left Kent State after 4 years to go to Indiana.

Indiana went 82nd to 2nd in the FBS in rushing yards allowed per game, and 68th to 3rd in average yards per carry allowed too
