Round 7

Conor McDermott, OT, UCLA – Checks all of the boxes that he tested in. He did not complete the bench press, and he was a team captain.

Jessamen Dunker, OT, Tennessee State – Failed the height threshold by only one inch. He did not complete the 3-cone or 20-yard shuttle.

Sam Tevi, OT, Utah – Came up four reps short on the bench press.

Corey Levin, OG, UT Chattanooga – 25 pounds light on the weight threshold.

Josh Carraway, DE, TCU – Nine pounds light on the weight threshold.

Avery Moss, DE, Youngtown State – Checks 100% of the boxes, with the exception of he was not a team captain.

Isaac Rochell, DE, Notre Dame – His arm length measured at 32 3/4″ and the McKenzie threshold for defensive end arm length is 33 1/4″.

Matt Milano, OLB, Boston College – Missed the weight threshold by six pounds. He did not complete the 3-cone or 20-yard shuttle.

Round 7 could be where Reggie grabs someone off the “honorable mentions” page, which comes next. A player who didn’t test at the combine, or perhaps a running back, wide receiver or tight end.

If he hasn’t drafted a tackle yet, McDermott stands out as checking all the boxes. Marquel Lee is someone I’m a fan of on film.

UDFA

Nate Theaker, OT, Wayne State – Failed the 40-yard dash threshold by 0.11 seconds. He was a team captain.

Ben Braden, OG, Michigan – Missed the weight threshold by three pounds. He was a team captain.

Tashawn Bower, DE, LSU – Only missed the weight threshold by one pound.

Ken Ekanem, DE, Virginia Tech – His arm length measured at 32″ and the McKenzie threshold for defensive end arm length is 33 1/4″.

Al-Quadin Muhammad, DE, Miami – Reaches 100% of the thresholds, with the exception of not being a senior. He only played two years at Miami.

Hardy Nickerson, LB, Illinois – Missed the height threshold by one inch, and did not complete the 3-cone. He was a team captain.

Ashton Lampkin, CB, Oklahoma State – Missed the 40-yard dash threshold by 0.03 seconds, and did not complete the 3-cone or 20-yard shuttle.
