DE DeAngelo Malone, Western Kentucky: 6032 | 234 | 1018 | 3300 | 7948

Malone had some questions coming in on whether he would be better suited to play off ball full time as a situational blitzer. He’s shown promise all week at practice, but he used his hands very well coming off the edge on Day 3 and played low.

ILB Aaron Hansford, Texas A&M: 6021 | 239 | 1038 | 3228 | 7800

While he isn’t the most explosive player, Hansford showed some good bend around the edge against the tight ends and lower-body twitch. He could be a guy that could be sticky with his athleticism against running back and tight ends.

DE Amaré Barno, Virginia Tech: 6042 | 239 | 918 | 3368 | 8118

Barno needs to work on his snap timing and could afford to add to his pass-rush arsenal. He has top-tier explosiveness out of his first two steps. Relying on converting speed to power worked well for him in one-on-ones because of that explosiveness.

This is exactly what I wanted to see from Amare Barno on Day 3. Use that build-up speed and convert speed-to-power. Arms surge forward, gets inside Braxton Jones’ frame and drives him back.

I like that Jones eventually regains his balance, but he’s GOT to tighten up. pic.twitter.com/Bmr9rMmMYu

DE Kingsley Enagbare, South Carolina: 6036 | 261 | 1028 | 3500 | 8358

The athletic edge rusher, Enagbare, is still twitchy at his plus-260 pounds and used his hands impressively with swim moves and chopping hands with great timing. He’s an athletic player with length and average technique.

Kingsley Enagbare doesn’t quite get home here, but I like this rep.

Flashes his hand up and gets Salyer to think he’s going with a dip-and-rip. Not so fast.

Salyer extends and opens his torso, which allows Enagbare to violently stab inside with his length and drive him back. pic.twitter.com/8tQAgLRd4z
