A torn ACL cost Alabama linebacker Dylan Moses his junior season but as long as he enters the NFL Draft, he’s going to be a day one pick. As a sophomore in 2018, Moses was all over the field for the Crimson Tide.
He racked up 86 tackles, 10 for a loss, and 3.5 sacks. He’s not only great at finding the ball carrier, but Moses is also a good defender in zone coverage. There are very few holes in his game and there are no doubts he’s going to be a star in this league.
The New England Patriots luck out here as A.J. Epenesa falls to the lower half of this 2020 NFL Mock Draft. A strong defensive end at 6-foot-6 and 280-pounds, Epenesa is capable of moving all over the defensive line, which is something the Pats covet.
Part of the reason he sticks around here is the way this draft fell, as many teams with greater needs were ahead of them. Another part is the dip in production from Epenesa this season.
After recording 10.5 sacks as a sophomore in 2018, Epenesa has just 4.5 in the first nine games of this season. He still has plenty of talent but there’s a slight concern there.
