Grades

Overall Draft Grade: 78.2

Traits/ Skills (see bottom of the page for scale)

All potential first-round prospects are graded and analyzed through the film of at least three games dedicated to each player. In addition, an array of various stats and analytics are also factored in. All the grades for each trait are relevant to the position. Each trait/attribute is graded 1-7. The overall grade is not limited to 100 as a player like Aaron Donald is so much better than the next best player behind him, but no prospects will be rated higher than 100 for potential.

Player Notes

LB Leo Chenal Bio

• Chenal is a traditional, big-bodied linebacker prototype with elite athleticism to go along with it
• Has elite movement skills considering how big he is; has potential to be a big impact in coverage
• Will immediately bring great value as a pass-rusher, and be a quality run-defender
• Has limited experience and lack of competition; he also didn’t show good awareness on the field
• Is a bit stiff which is expected, but will limit him to a mike-linebacker/ hybrid role; needs to be used correctly to succeed
