There will be 257 players selected across the seven rounds, with many more getting phone calls immediately afterward.
TJ Sanders Scouting Report
Strengths
The size and skills of TJ Sanders make him a true three-technique on the defensive line, which is extremely coveted. He is an explosive player who gets off the snap in a hurry. Sanders will often initiate the contact, and his long arms mean he can keep linemen off his body as well. He also has the strength to take on blockers and play both gaps.
Weaknesses
Sanders needs to be stronger fighting against down blocks. On top of that, he has the tendency to pick a game instead of playing both and reading the play. Sanders must finish plays better, failing to make the play he has put himself in a position for. And while quick north and south, Sanders does not change direction well.
