EDGE A.J. EPENESA, IOWA
Edge is one of the easiest positions to predict from college to pro. The guys that win the most one-on-one interactions tend to do the same in the NFL. Combine a high win-rate with immense physical tools like Epenesa has, and it’s easy to see why he’s a lock. Standing 6-foot-6, 280 pounds yet moving like a man 30 pounds lighter, Epenesa has a 91.2 pass-rushing grade and 21.1 pass-rushing win rate for his career. Those would be excellent single-season figures, but Epenesa has been balling since he stepped foot on Iowa’s campus.
 
Where's Wirfs? I'd be shocked if he isn't a first rounder.
Maybe, since the league drafts as much on potencial. Unfortunately some of the offensive stink from this season will rub off on him and Jackson. Hell, maybe thats the silver lining. If he and Jackson returned, along with a year of seasoning for Linderbaum, get Britt and Ince ready, and the line could be much improved in 2020. YES!

Jackson may be better served coming back next year if he does not project in the top 2 rounds.
 
The new angle agents are pitching is to go early, even if you go late, as you are one year closer to getting the “big” contract(after rookie contract).
