NFL Draft Prospect: Da'Quan Bowers

Prospect: Da'Quan Bowers
Position: Defensive End
School: Clemson
Class: Junior
Height: 6-4
Weight: 280

Strengths: Bowers is another prospect that has number one overall pick potential. He is a naturally athletic kid with good size and speed for a defensive end. He is a great pass rusher and has very quick moves to go through and around offensive linemen. He has incredible burst off the line. He also, unlike some of the other prospects I have outlined, has no character issues. He is a hard worker and a great leader. He has a great work ethic and drive to preform.

Weaknesses: Bowers is a freak athlete but he has been plagued by injuries during his time at Clemson. He also has only had one really dominating season at Clemson so some people have questioned his consistency.

Overall Analysis: Da'Quan Bowers is a top 5 prospect on anyone's big board and can be justified at any pick in the top 5. He is my second ranked defensive linemen on the board and will be taken off the board at no later than the fifth pick. This draft doesn't feature any clear number one but it does have about six or seven guys that can easily go number one, and Bowers is definitely one of those.

Possible Destinations: Carolina Panthers/ Denver Broncos/ Buffalo Bills/ Cincinnati Bengals/ Arizona Cardinals

Probable Pick: Top 5 pick
