Prospect Watch: Sheldon Day




One of my favorite defensive lineman in this draft is Notre Dame's defensive tackle Sheldon Day, who is just a ball of energy. In a deep defensive tackle class, where we have mention Jonathan Bullard, Sheldon Rankins, Ronald Blair, Javon Hargrave all of whom would make the Bucs better, Day would provide impact as well.

Likely to be a day three pick due to his size, as he is only 6'1 293lbs but Day makes up for it with his quick step and constant effort bringing disruption and an non-stop motor. Day has very good hands which enables him to get into the backfield often causing havoc on a lot of plays. Day has very good lateral quickness and does really well in twisting stunts with the other d-lineman. Day wont put up great sack numbers, but he will be a guy that is always around the football which will lead to making a lot of plays in the end.

Day compares to a poor man's Clinton McDonald, and if he can perfect his technique he could be a very good starting defensive tackle in this league. He would compliment McCoy very well along with the rest of the Bucs DT's. Add Sheldon Day to the long list of really good defensive tackles in this draft in which the Bucs should be getting at least one of them.

    1. Yep agree, there are so many good defensive tackles that a guy like Day could be sitting in the 3rd or 4th round.
