Christian Harris
Christian Harris could be much higher on draft boards, but his 2021 season had lowered his stock a bit.
He had a great season in 2019 during his freshman season while replacing Dylan Moses, and had 4.5 sacks in 2020.
However, he had a drop in production in the 2021 season with just two sacks, and only one un-assisted compared to four in 2020.
This has caused him to drop down the rankings a bit, but his talent still remains.
Harris is a speedy linebacker with a 4.44-second 40-yard dash time and has a bigger reach and build than Dean at 6’0 232.
He could also be a draft steal for the New York Giants if he is able to slide into the late second and early to mid-third rounds.
The Giants would not have to make extra moves to get him in all likelihood, and New York could still pick two offensive linemen with their first-round picks.
