EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Earl Mitchell is a high-motor type defensive tackle and should hopefully bring that energy to a defense that is sorely lacking. Mitchell rose up the draft ranks after an excellent combine and, with the failure of Amobi Okoye to make a significant impact, Mitchell was to tempting for the Texans to pass on.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Made himself a mint at the Com- bine when he clocked faster than any other defensive tackle in the 40-yard dash and posted superb 10-yard time (1.56 seconds) for a near- 300-pounder. Easily could warrant looks in the top 100 picks as an up-the-field penetrator.
NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report: A strong performance during the week of practice at the East-West Shrine Game helped Mitchell develop some momentum before the draft. NFL scouts love Mitchell’s athleticism and work ethic, but may struggle to find a spot for him at his size. Some even feel his future position could be on the offensive side of the ball as a fullback.
