So in a thread yesterday I said I think Willis was going to be picked in the third round...I'll gladly be eating crow come draft weekend.
Jordan Willis, DE, Kansas State
I've been a big fan of Willis for a while, and he didn't disappoint over the weekend. His 4.53 40-yard dash and 39-inch vertical were second among a really good class of defensive linemen. Teams wanted to see that he was as athletic as some of the other top-end pass-rushers, and Willis showed his worth. He could play on his feet or with his hand in the dirt in the NFL. Willis had 21 sacks for the Wildcats the past two seasons and was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2016. He also holds up well against the run, which is going to be important at the next level. He's my No. 8 defensive end right now and solidly in the second-round mix. He's a top-50 talent.
