DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
Height: 6-7. Weight: 290.
Projected 40 Time: 4.82.
Projected Round (2015): 1.
12/19/15: In 2015, Buckner has 76 tackles with 16 for a loss, 9.5 sacks and five passes batted. He has played really well for the Ducks as a run defender and has shown his pass-rush potential this year, which hasn’t been easy to display for many Oregon products. The Ducks’ scheme has suppressed the pass-rush potential of other edge rushers like Arik Armstead and Dion Jordan. Buckner has a great skill set with size and speed.
8/22/15: Buckner has a similar skill set to former teammate Arik Armstead. Buckner recorded 81 tackles with 13 tackles for a loss, four sacks and four passes broken up in 2014. He looks capable of a big senior year, but Oregon’s scheme doesn’t lend itself to big sack totals as evidenced by Armstead and Dion Jordan

Carl Nassib, DE, Penn State
Height: 6-7. Weight: 272.
Projected 40 Time: 5.00.
Projected Round (2016): 1-3.
12/19/15: At the end of the regular season, Nassib led the nation with 15.5 sacks and was on fire in 2015 before an injury cost him virtually the final two games. He has a nice combination of strength and closing speed. The senior also has 46 tackles with 19.5 tackles for a loss and six forced fumbles on the year. Even though his production is a 1-year wonder, former head coach Bill O’Brien and current head coach James Franklin have been profuse in their praise for Nassib’s work ethic and practice effort.
This season’s production has come out of nowhere as Nassib had only only seven tackles with one sack, one forced fumble and a pass breakup in 2014. He is a former walk-on at Penn State and the younger brother of New York Giants quarterback Ryan Nassib. Carl Nassib was reportedly 50-60 pounds lighter when he arrived at Penn State and has worked extremely hard to get bigger.

Shawn Oakman, DE, Baylor
Height: 6-9. Weight: 275.
Projected 40 Time: 4.84.
Projected Round (2016): 3-5.
12/19/15: Oakman has 43 tackles, 14.5 for a loss, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles this year. He was suspended for the season opener because of a team-rules violation. NFL teams already had off-the-field concerns with Oakman that the suspension will only add to. His play has been somewhat disappointing considering the number of pass-rushing opportunities he saw against weak opponents.
8/22/15: Oakman notched 48 tackles with 18.5 tackles for a loss, 10 sacks, three passes batted and three forced fumbles in 2014. In the early going of the season, he was one of the more impressive players in college football. Oakman cooled down as the season progressed. He lacks instincts and technique, so he needs development. In some ways, Oakman is similar athlete and prospect to Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Margus Hunt, a second-round pick in 2013.
Oakman is strong and quick, but doesn’t play consistently up to his skill set. He looks like a great fit as a five-technique defensive end in a 3-4 defense. Oakman also could be a base end in a 4-3 defense. Baylor also lines him up at defensive tackle and as a standup rush linebacker. Oakman just has to get more consistent and play up to his physical skills. In 2013, he totaled 33 tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles. Oakman spent 2011 with a redshirt at Penn State. He then sat out the 2012 season after transferring.

I like these 3 guys cause they are big, 6-6 and 270+. They could be our best options at some point in the draft. imo
I haven’t look much at DEs and other teams will be more prone to draft them in this draft. imo
