STRENGTHS

OVERALL

Edoga is a good enough athlete at such a premium position that teams will roll the dice on being able to fix what USC couldn't in his game and attitude. He's a little shorter than teams like, but his arm length (34 ¾") is enough to make up for that fact.

GRADE: 6.00 (ROUND 3—FUTURE STARTER)

PRO COMPARISON: Kelvin Beachum
