PFF's take, for whatever it is worth

Derick Hall
ED
Auburn Tigers


THIRD ROUND
Hall's tape consistently left us wanting more. If he's paired with a good NFL defensive line coach who can light a fire under him, Hall could be an impact player.


REVIEW
Although Hall may be undersized on the edge, he’s a total gamer who plays with tenacity. He is lean, explosive and athletic enough to be a successful edge rusher. Hall is very versatile, too, having played some outside linebacker during his time at Auburn. He was incredibly consistent for the Tigers over the past two years, recording more than 40 pressures and eight sacks in each campaign, which resulted in two 80.0-plus pass-rushing grades.

SHADES OF Tyrone Holmes

PROS
Built like a Greek god. Long arms and low body fat.
Wound-up dude. Will get past tackles in a blink of an eye if they're late off the snap.
Speed-to-power can be deadly. Definitely his go-to.

CONS
No shake in him. Makes it difficult to set up his pass-rushing moves.
Tools to be a solid run defender, but his tenacity isn't quite there.
Been the same player for three years running. No next step was taken on tape.
