Rotoworld:
Lowry (6'6/296) was a three-year starter for the Wildcats, amassing 31.5 career tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks before earning second-team All-Big Ten as a senior. Lowry helped himself in Indy, running 4.87 with a 32 1/2-inch vertical and 30 reps on the bench. A high-energy down lineman, Lowry lacks edge burst and needs to improve his pad level, but he offers five-technique potential with a power game and efficient tackling, also making plays in pursuit. Lowry could eventually become a Jared Crick type. Apr 30 - 2:03 PM
Rotoworld's Josh Norris ranks Northwestern DL Dean Lowry as the No. 62 overall prospect in the NFL Draft.
"An outstanding athlete who can with off the snap with explosion," he wrote. "Likely a base defensive end who then moves inside in some situations. Would also fit odd man fronts. Needs to improve on counter moves outside of his motor i.e. restarting his momentum." We are higher on the 6-foot-6, 282-pounder than most. Apr 5 - 7:26 PM
I like how long this guy is. Should get bigger and more powerful. Disturbing to hear about pad level, but the Packers place special emphasis on that. :)
