There was significant speculation Will Levis could end up in Tennessee in the first round. It couldn’t have worked out more perfectly for the Titans. ScottDochterman gave the Titans an A grade after selecting the QB. NFLDraft
and watching injuries sink the offense last year, Tampa Bay opted for a tough, nasty, versatile offensive lineman in Mauch.
If anyone wonders why North Dakota State dominates the FCS ranks, it’s because of players like Mauch., Mauch initially walked on for the Bison as a tight end, switched to defensive end, gained 40 pounds and moved to offensive line. Then Mauch earned a scholarship and started 37 games at left tackle. A good athlete with quickness, no offensive linemen touched Mauch’s 3-cone time, which is probably more relevant to that position group than the 40. It will take time for Mauch to adjust to NFL size and speed, and he likely slides inside to guard as a rookie. But don’t doubt his intensity or willingness to success.The Steelers are in the running for the best draft, and they might have found the best fit for their 3-4 defensive line in Benton.
In Wisconsin’s 3-4 defense, Benton lined up almost exclusively on the interior but split between the B gap and A gap , according to Pro Football Focus. That will allow him to compete anywhere from a zero tech to a 4-technique in the NFL. Benton finished his career with nine sacks, 10 tackles for loss and 80 tackles. With a wide frame, Benton is capable of battling double teams on every snap, which is what he did as a Badger. For his size, Benton ran an impressive 40 in 5.08 seconds and put up 25 reps of 225 pounds on the bench. It would be interesting to see Benton play for a defense where he can do more than just tie up blockers to allow linebackers to make plays.
