Draft Projection
Gervon Dexter has the potential to excel as a 3-tech defensive tackle in a 4-man front. However, his impressive frame and athleticism also allows him to take some reps on the DL in special fronts, such as the Okie or Tite Front, where he could play as a 1-Tech or nose tackle.
Dexter carries his weight well and showcases impressive foot quickness, which allows him to work effectively against the run game. While he has the tools to become a great pass rusher, he needs to work on improving his technique and production in that area.
Overall, Dexter’s combination of size, athleticism, and versatility make him a valuable asset on the defensive line. With some refinement and development, he has the potential to become a force to be reckoned with in the NFL. He is projected to be a day two pick.
