Tyler Forness’ Top 5 - Edge

Climbing The Pocket - A Minnesota Vikings Podcast

In this episode Tyler breaks down the top 5 edge prospects for the draft and the likelihood that the Vikings would take one is high. Edge There are numerous ways to classify pass rushers. You can group them as 4-3 DE or 3-4 OLB, but I group them under one category: EDGE. This group is really unique in that there isn’t a true alpha like Nick Bosa or Myles Garrett. What this group does have is depth. There are 11 players on my board with a grade above day 3 which is excellent depth. When I grade edge rushers, I mainly focus on how they win. Do they win with speed? Power? Technique? Once they get beaten, how do they evolve their pass rush plan? Are they versatile, meaning can they work inside and out? What positions do they work best from? I have a preference for long athletes who can win with power and speed.
