Draft Projection & Valuation
NFL Scheme & Roster Fit
Derrick Harmon projects as an impactful DT at the NFL level with immediate starter upside. Organizations drafting in the first round that run modern, scheme-versatile setups will covet his combination of film execution and athletic traits.
The pro comparison to Chris Jones underscores his ceiling: high football IQ, reliable technical consistency, and game-changing playmaking when the contest is on the line.
