DevinBush

Linebacker

Michigan, junior

  • TKLS79
  • TFL9
  • SACKS5
HEIGHT/WEIGHT5'11, 234
AGE20
MAIN SELLING POINTCoverage chops

Super-athletic off-ball linebacker with a hard-nosed demeanor and sought-after playmaking instincts in coverage.

SHADES OF: Jayon Brown, Lavonte David
SCOUTING REPORT

Bush has a dense, rocked-up frame with powerful legs and a thick upper half. He’s an explosive blitzer with nitrous oxide boosters in his feet, racking up 10 sacks in the past two seasons. The team captain and AP second-team All-American is comfortable dropping back into space, can easily carry running backs into the flat, and has the speed and physicality to cover tight ends up the seams. He has the tendency to grab ahold of pass catchers at the top of their stem, so he’ll need to learn to be more subtle. In the run game, Bush embodies his alma mater’s Wolverine mascot, flying downhill to deliver ferocious hits and separate the ball from the carrier. He sifts through the trash to meet the runner in the hole. He’s capable of flying from sideline to sideline to chase down runners. Bush needs to clean up his pursuit angles and can get engulfed by offensive linemen moving downfield. He false-steps at times and can get lured away from the action by misdirection.

WHY HE COULD RISE

Bush has all the tools—elite athleticism, instincts, range, and quick-twitch reaction speed—to emerge as an impact defender in coverage early in his career, and as a tone-setter in the run game.

WHY HE COULD FALL

He lacks length and can get bullied by offensive linemen moving downfield. May fit best as a run-and-chase weakside linebacker.

Tackle

Washington, redshirt senior

  • GMS14
  • STRTS14
  • SK ALL2
HEIGHT/WEIGHT6'7'', 317
AGE24
MAIN SELLING POINTToughness and physicality

Reliable right tackle who brings tenacity to the ground game and athleticism to pass protection.

SHADES OF: Ricky Wagner
SCOUTING REPORT

McGary is a tall, physical right tackle with a well-proportioned, muscular frame. In pass protection, he lacks top-end foot quickness but showed an ability to stick with rushers and run them past the pocket. He displays the strength to stymie bull rush attempts and anchor on the edge. There are times he gets outside too quickly on his pass-set, allowing pressure back inside. He plays with an enforcer’s mentality, and his competitiveness stood out at the Senior Bowl. In the ground game, the former Husky moves well and packs plenty of lower-half explosion out of his stance (as evidenced by his 33.5-inch vertical jump at the combine). He can generate push at the point of attack, and does a great job of running his feet to get defenders on their heels. He’s a bulldozer on down blocks. McGary was lackadaisical at times on the backside of runs, allowing his opponent to tackle the running back on a cutback, and got caught leaning and lunging on a few reps. Overall, though, he is a physical finisher who helped set the tone for the entire Washington line.

WHY HE COULD RISE

McGary is a throwback run blocker who brings intensity and grit on every play; he has the size and temperament to play on the inside as well.

WHY HE COULD FALL

With average foot quickness and a lack of arm length (just 32 and 7/8 inches), some teams could see him as a guard only.

I would love this scenario, Bush and McGary would be instant upgrades and contributors to this team.

I like Tytus Howard in round 2 a lot

According to Joe Goodberry he doesn’t meet the Bengals historical cut offs for some traits. I don’t remember which one(s) exactly. That said, I’d be good with him too.

Probably the small school thing too. We tend to draft from the bigger schools early on.
