PROJECTED ROUND: 1st/2nd HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6-5/277 LBS
CAREER NUMBERS: 82 total tackles; 26.5 tackles for a loss; 12.5 sacks; 1 forced fumble
Like Nassib, there’s a case to be made that Dodd is a one-hit wonder: All 12.5 of his career sacks, and 24 of his 26.5 tackles for loss, came during his final season.
Still, he looked awfully good in that final season, especially during Clemson’s run to the National Championship. He’s quick, strong, agile and flexible; he has just about everything you’d want from your top edge rusher.
Really, aside from the questions about his one season of production, Dodd’s largest issue is simply that he’s raw; he’s succeeding on natural ability for the most part. Again, like with Nassib, if he can get into a meeting room surrounded by Miller, Ware, Wolfe and more, there’s a good chance he’ll develop quickly.
