Vic Beasley: Defensive End, Clemson
Vic Beasley is projected to go as the 18th pick, after coming off of an off-year this season collecting only 28 tackles and 11 sacks. However, in 2013, Beasley had an incredible season. Beasley was named to the Consensus All-American Team after posting 64 tackles with 31 of them being for losses.
Beasley also, made 21 sacks, created 20 QB pressure situations, deflected eight passes and caused five fumbles. Beasley is a 6’2″, 235-pound senior who is NFL Draft-ready, whereas Ray and Gregory are Draft eligible but still have the option to return to their respective schools for their senior year.
It still very early to be considering draft picks with the NFL scouting combine and 2015 Senior Bowl still to come, but it never hurts to see who is out there.
