Jacksonville Jaguars select Dante Fowler with the third overall pick

The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Dante Fowler with the third overall pick. Here is his full scouting report, courtesy of Justin Capriotti (@JCapSports).

Dante Fowler isn’t quite there yet, but he has the potential to be molded into whatever an NFL team wants him to be. At over 260 pounds, Fowler can easily play as a                          4-3 defensive end but I feel his best fit is standing up in a 3-4 front which will unveil his vaunted versatility.

There were times during Florida games in 2014 where Fowler seemed like the only player trying in the defensive front. He has a knack for getting involved in every play and his violent style of play makes him a terror for ball carriers. Fowler also has the constant motor which can sometimes be rare for athletic edge rushing prospects. He explodes off the snap and has good fight with his hands.

Fowler’s versatility will make him a fine pro even if he only pans out to be a 6-8 sack player. He has the ability to drop back in coverage and rack up tackle numbers crashing the line.

What I love the most about Fowler is that he’s only twenty years old and has already learned how to play so many positions. Fowler doesn’t have the pass rushing refine yet, but I see no reason why I can’t learn the traits necessary to be a top ten sack getter in the NFL.
