I loved his movement skills coming out of Oklahoma, I also loved his power. Those 2 usually don't belong in the same sentence for OTs. So he already has a skill set that is rare. He does a very nice job of keeping his feet underneath of himself, which allows him to be more agile and maintain his power. He also does a very nice job of keeping his arms inside his body. At least thats how I describe it. He never over-extends his arms and reaches for a defender, which keeps him from lunging and making him vulnerable to puch/pull moves or spin moves, dip and rips as well since the arms are already extended. The defender just knocks those arms down and dips under the armpit.
What he needs to do better is drop his hips and sink more into that pass pro setup. He is getting by on power and footwork, but Clowney without the core muscle injury he is dealing with right now would have gave Evans a run for his money bigtime IMO. If he sinks his hips a bit more, it lowers his center of gravity and gives him more leverage and less of a chance of being over powered or bull rushed. Nick Bosa is making a living bullrushing because he is so fast off the ball, he converts that speed to power and just gets into a OTs chest and pushes. he did it to Whit a few times in their first meeting. Evans can be a plus starter for years to come, he just has to fine tune some technique.
As far as Edwards, my biggest knock was technique and it still is, because he hasn't been a OL since HS. It was in college he made the switch so he is behind. He is smart and can catch up. I'm not worried.
