Better qualified DL qualification
Derrick Harmon, Oregon: A
Thursday was an opportunity for Harmon to assign himself as one of the main defenders of the interior in this kind of draft considering that multiple pairs chose not to participate.

Darius Alexander, Toledo: B+
Alexander is following a path similar to that Karl Brooks did outside Bowling Green a few years ago. Brooks played on the edge for the Falcons, but was the size of moving within the next level. Alexander has continued to show well through the process prior to the draft.
