What's happening, everyone.

Welcome into another episode of DeCecho Daily.

It's Andrew DeCecho, Eagles Beat Report of Friendside the Birds.com.

And today we're going to do something a little different on the podcast.

I'm going to name four players, the first two of which I believe are going to go a little

bit higher than expected and could even fight their way into the first round.

The other two players who are projected widely to be day two players, who I'm expecting to go a little bit higher

than what the consensus currently has them slotted at.

So we'll start with the first player and that's UCF edge rusher Malachi Lawrence.

Really long arms.

He has an 81 and 5.8 inch wingspan, 6 6-4-3-8s, 253 pounds.

Had 11 tackles for loss, seven sacks, and two-force fumbles last season.

Was a two-year starter for the nights.

He turns 23 years old in July.

But, man, when you watch his tape, the long arms and length he uses to his

advantage. He's a finisher. He plays with good urgency and tenacity. And I believe that his frame

and his quickness and power all are going to blend together and give some team a high impact edge rusher.

And in a class that doesn't have a ton of definitive options beyond the top of the draft class,

then you have your Keldrick Fox and you have your Akeem Messadors, T.J. Parker, Cassius Howell.

Well, I think Malachi Lawrence has a chance to sneak his way into the back end of the first round

due to the short supply of early impact edge rushers or some that have qualities that lend itself to having a favorable start or an impactful type of career.

And so I look at Malachi Lawrence and he was a player that I had a second round grade on, mid-second round grade to start the process.
