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

Here's my #10 pick on my list, Payton Page. Analysts have tagged to go in 7th round to an undrafted rookie free agent. I put him in because I believe this a guy that could be developed into a quality starter or a solid rotational piece. He will need some development, but in a couple of years could be a starter on defense.

#10- Payton Page- (DT) Clemson (6'4"/310#)
In run defense, Page flashes exciting burst off the snap to penetrate and disrupt plays in the backfield. He is a technician with a high motor. Page shows some power to hold to hold at the point of attack as a run defender. He has the speed to chase ball carriers down from behind.
In pass defense, Page is a high motor pass rusher with good quickness. He can slip through gaps with his get-off and is an intimidating force for QB's to avoid. He can provide some secondary interior pass rush, getting the most penetration when playing the 3-Tech position.
Page is a bit underpowered, often playing too high and struggling to hold the point of attack against double teams. He possesses excellent weight-room strength, although it doesn't always translate to his play on the field. Doesn't play fundamentally sound and lacks technique in his repertoire. Page often gets caught in the hand fighting at the line of scrimmage rather than quickly disengaging.
Page will need some developing with his technique and some strengthening, but with good coaching he can develop into a quality starter on a defensive line.
