    OG O'Cyrus Torrence
    Follow 6'5"330 lbs Florida 2 POS RK 42 OVR RK
    84 GRADE
    Pre-Draft Analysis
    Torrence, one of the most dominant interior offensive linemen in the country last season, has excellent size and consistently gets movement in the run game. He latches on with his big hands and controls defensive linemen while moving laterally as zone blocker. He doesn't change directions well, but he has good length and a powerful punch. Torrence rarely gives ground as a pass protector. -- Steve Muench

    ILB

    Ventrell Miller Follow 6'0"232 lbs Florida
    14 POS RK 200 OVR RK 48 GRADE
    Pre-Draft Analysis
    Miller uses his long arms to keep blockers off his body and flies around the field. He's not a thumper, but he wraps up. He's more effective dropping into zone than he is matching up in man, and he doesn't have much upside as a pass-rusher. He has the potential to develop into a core special teams player. -- Steve Muench

    Rashad Torrence II Follow 6'0"193 lbs Florida

    21 POS RK 265 OVR RK 39 GRADE


    Pre-Draft Analysis
    Torrence is an undersized box safety who has longer arms and is at his best playing close to the line of scrimmage. He's a tough run-defender who led Florida with 84 tackles in 2022. He's quicker than fast but has marginal top-end speed. -- Steve Muench

    Brenton Cox Jr. Follow 6'4"250 lbs Florida
    21 POS RK 291 OVR RK 37 GRADE
    Pre-Draft Analysis
    Cox is big and strong enough to set a hard edge. The way he uses his hands and gets off blocks defending the run is his greatest asset. Cox is a power-based pass-rusher with heavy hands who works mostly out of a two-point stance. -- Steve Muench

    S Trey Dean III Follow 6'2"200 lbs Florida
    24 POS RK 298 OVR RK 36 GRADE
    Pre-Draft Analysis
    Dean is an aggressive, physical run defender with good length and excellent upper body strength. He has the tools to compete with tight ends in man coverage but doesn't have the range to provide help over the top. Dean also needs to win with physicality to hold up in coverage. -- Steve Muench

    Amari Burney Follow 6'2"230 lbs Florida
    17 POS RK 243 OVR RK 42 GRADE
    Pre-Draft Analysis
    Burney is a linebacker/safety who runs well, takes sound angles, chases with good effort and wraps up. To be effective between the tackles, he has to win with instincts and quickness. He shows good range, reads the quarterback and flashes the ability to play the ball in underneath zone. -- Steve Muench
