Owamagbe Odighizuwa, DE, UCLA

While Odighizuwa never put up huge numbers in college, the 22-year-old defensive end has a ton of natural talent. He had 11.5 tackles for loss and six sacks in 2014, and at 6-foot-3 and 270 pounds he could easily fit into both a 4-3 or a 3-4 front.

Odighizuwa has had multiple surgeries in his career, so his medical exam will be important, but he will almost surely have an excellent workout. He is fantastic against the run thanks to his quickness off the snap, that will help him in agility drills. He should also run in the 4.6-range, which is impressive given his position and size.

If Odighizuwa passes his medical exam with no red flags and puts together the kind of workout he’s capable of, he will vault into first-round consideration.
