1. Wyatt Ray, EDGE, Boston College

Wyatt Ray took the step from ‘solid’ player in 2016-17 to one of Boston College’s best defensive players in 2018.

Although he is not a spectacular athlete off the edge, Ray is a productive player who notched 44 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and nine sacks this past season for the Eagles.

He’s got solid length and strength off the edge and showed that with a very solid 25 bench press reps at the 2019 Scouting Combine.

The Browns will likely use Ray as a base end in their 4-3 defense and wisely so. He’s not really the type of athlete you want to put out in space a lot so even though he was considered a bit of a hybrid type of guy coming out, he’s going to play with his hand in the dirt for this team.

He can work with strength off the edge or stunt inside and use his power to his advantage, coming with a full head of steam at interior linemen to put inside pressure on quarterbacks.
