My Top 10 List Of NT's & DT's in 2025 Draft

I reshuffled the bottom of my top 10 ten around. The more I saw of Capehart and Hunter they were not as polished as I first thought. So I moved Alexander to #8 and Norman-Lott to #9, they have a lot more to offer and won't need that much development to get up to speed. Norman-Lott has been predicted to go somewhere in the 5th round.

#9- Omarr Norman-Lott- (NT/DT) Tennessee (6'3"/315#)
In rush defense, Norman-Lott has exceptional first step quickness off the snap which allows him to penetrate gaps and disrupt blocking schemes before they develop. He shows impressive lateral agility and pursuit speed for his size, consistently making plays outside of his gap and down the line of scrimmage. Norman-Lott maintains leverage at the point of attack with strong hand placement and natural pad level, anchoring effectively against double teams.
In pass defense, Norman-Lott demonstrates an advanced pass rush repertoire with effective swim and rip moves and converting speed to power when needed. He exhibits a strong football IQ with the ability to diagnose screen plays and misdirection plays. His initial burst allows him to shoot gaps when aligned in passing situations.
Norman-Lott needs to improve his consistency in finishing plays, occasionally he loses contact with ball carriers in the backfield after initial penetration. Sometimes he plays too high in his stance, particularly when he's fatigued, leading to decreased leverage and power at the point of attack and he also needs a little more consistency maintaining gap integrity.
Norman-Lott's lateral agility and motor are NFL caliber traits that will serve him well in a role early in his career. His ability to convert speed to power while maintaining gap integrity suggests immediate value on early downs, with upside as an interior rusher on passing downs. The combination of first step explosiveness, natural leverage and flexibility points to a future as a contributing interior defender who can adapt to multiple fronts at the next level.
