    It’s not exactly earth shattering news that he’s not a Nose Tackle. He’s 290.

    After opting out of the 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Onwuzurike had arguably the most riding on his Senior Bowl performance of any defensive lineman in attendance. While it's difficult to blame him too much for looking rusty -- and his stock won't necessarily "fall" -- Onwuzurike also did nothing to raise it.

    He looked completely unable to hold up against double-teams at nose tackle when asked to play there, meaning he's likely to be a 3-technique only in the NFL. He went on to show little in the way of pass-rushing moves in the one-on-ones as well, as he still relied on his first-step quickness to get home. While Onwuzurike has been seen in multiple first-round mocks before this, that is likely not going to be the case anymore.

    Levi had 2 good days at senior bowl practice and then undisclosed injury.

    I would guess that he tweaked something and doesn't want to take chances of getting hurt during a live game before the draft so he opted out.

    Still ... Projected by some to be 1st round material.

    16th here on cbs

    I've also seen joe tryon as a late 1st rounder in places although that's definitely contingent on a great pro day and an organization that falls in love with his potential and measurables in the underwear olympics.
