DT Daniel McCullers, Tennessee -- This is where my love of burly nose tackles comes in, because I am hopelessly endeared towards Daniel McCullers. An impossibly large nose (6'7", 360 lbs), McCullers has weaknesses that are in plain vision: he will need to drop around 30 lbs, he will need work on his leverage, he's purely a two-down nose tackle as he provides zero passrush. But if you need a lane clogged, McCullers will clog it. Even against the elite Alabama OL, he was nearly immovable at the LOS. He was only moved when he lost leverage -- something that's somewhat easy for a 6'7" monstrosity to do. McCullers is going to need work at the next level, but my god. If he develops well, his upside is Terrance Cody.
