Kiper's Dec. 5 big board heavy at DT

[Whatever]

14. Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon*
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 310 | Prev. rank: 16

2024 stats through 12 games: 44 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 30 pressures, 10 run stops, 2 forced fumbles

Harmon transferred from Michigan State after a solid 2023 season there, and his game has taken the next step in Eugene. What jumps out to me most is his consistent disruptiveness on a game-to-game basis. He combines quickness with power to cause chaos for opponents. And his scheme-versatility only adds to his value; Harmon can dominate at either defensive tackle or end.

I can see us drafting in top 15, I know we have major needs on defense, but is a dominant DT of great need over a CB or DE?

A couple of dudes I've been looking at are Michigan's Kenneth Grant and Kentucky 's Drone Walker.  Both have 2-Gap NT size with pass rushing 3 tech athletic ability.
