Reggie Gilbert
School: Arizona
Position: DE
Positive: Three-year starter that's lined up at both defensive tackle and defensive end. All-Conference selection as a senior after 41 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Somewhat underrated defensive line prospect with decent upside. Plays with balance, rarely off his feet and moves well laterally chasing the action. Uses his hands to protect himself, plays low to the ground and keeps his feet moving on contact. Holds his ground against blocks or plays off them altogether to get to the action.
Negative: Lacks bulk, easily knocked from the action by a single opponent or removed from the point. Possesses a poor closing burst.
Analysis: Gilbert was out of position at and in Arizona's three-man line last season but is a prospect who should only get better as he physically matures and adds strength to his frame
