— 5. Michael Hall Jr. (So., Ohio State, 6-3, 290)

Hall is considered undersized for the interior, but the former four-star recruit has proven capable of handling the responsibility due to his elite strength and athletic ability. The Buckeyes utilized him at every position on the D-line. Hall has the movement skills to be a productive pass-rusher in the pros, but he'll need to develop a better plan with his hands. He's still just 20 years old. Projected: Rounds 2-3

— 6. Braden Fiske (Sr., Florida State, 6-4, 292)

The Western Michigan transfer wins with strength and athleticism. Fiske is explosive off the ball considering his size and is developing a solid pass-rush repertoire. His hand usage is a work-in-progress, which is a bit concerning considering he's a sixth-year senior (he's 24 years old), but an impressive performance during Senior Bowl practices and in Indianapolis at the combine has significantly boosted his draft stock. Projected: Rounds 2-3

— 7. Ruke Orhorhoro (Sr., Clemson, 6-4, 294)

Originally from Nigeria, Orhorhoro moved to the United States at the age of 9. He excelled at basketball before switching to football in his junior year of high school. Orhorhoro possesses the power to move the pocket and can shed blockers consistently to get to the ball carrier as a run defender. He'll need to develop a pass rush move other than the bull rush in the NFL, where he can't just overpower most linemen. The right defensive-line coach will be crucial in helping Orhorhoro reach his immense potential. Projected: Rounds 2-3

— 8. Darius Robinson (Sr., Missouri, 6-5, 285)

Robinson has the ability to play inside or outside thanks to his strength and length. His bull rush is a dominant weapon regardless of where he lines up, he's an asset against the run and teams won't be able to single-block him with a tight end. He plays stiff at times, and doesn't feature elite athleticism, but he showed growth as a pass-rusher at the Senior Bowl. Projected: Rounds 2-3

— 9. Brandon Dorlus (Sr., Oregon, 6-3, 283)

Dorlus is a plug-and-play pass rusher from the interior, with an array of pass-rush moves, but he's kind of a tweener. He primarily played off the edge for the Ducks, but his athleticism won't translate there in the pros. Still, he's a high-floor, high-character player who can contribute right away. Projected: Rounds 3-4
