4. Taco Charlton

Taco Charlton is one of my favorite prospects in this draft because of his potential. Charlton is a 6’6″ 273 pound freak of nature. He has every physical characteristic that you look for in an outside linebacker or a 4-3 defensive end. He has great length and he explodes off the line of scrimmage.

The problem is that Charlton was with the Michigan Wolverines for four seasons and the lights didn’t come on until his senior season. Charlton’s 10.5 sacks in 2016 mark his one productive season in College Football. The fact of the mater is Charlton is raw. He is just becoming the NFL caliber player he can be.

If it works out, you’re going to see a ton of Charlton jerseys for years to come. If it works out he is going to be one of the NFL’s most exciting players. He has a ton of talent, but you want to see more production.
