WEAKNESSES

—Ideally would weigh more than 300 lbs, but plays with good strength.

OVERALL

An eye-opening athlete with big-time potential as a gap-splitting defensive tackle, Madubuike shines when it comes to penetration and could be an early starter, especially on passing downs. He'll have to get stronger and slightly bigger to become an every-down asset, but the arrow is pointing up.
