DWAN EDWARDS

Position: DT Class: Sr School: Oregon St. Conference: Pac-10 Ht., Wt.: 6'2½, 313 40 Time: 5.14 Grade: 3.87 Selected by Baltimore Ravens Round 2, pick 19 (51 overall)

BIO: Three-year starter that posted 51/8.5/3 as a senior after 50/9/3.5 the prior year. Started 10 of 11 games as a sophomore totaling 31/5/2. POSITIVES: Competitive, run-stuffing tackle constantly making plays on the ball carrier. Constantly double-teamed by opponents but stays low and rarely off his feet. Shoots through the gaps up the field and tough to handle and. Generally gets off the ball with a good first step and wraps up tackling. NEGATIVES: Not a knee-bender and stiff. Lacks the ability to make plays in anything other than a straight line. ANALYSIS: Edwards has been a steady producer that topped off a fine campaign in 2003 with an excellent performance at the Senior Bowl and Combine. May begin as a backup at the next level but has the skills to eventually move into a starting role. PROJECTION: Mid Second Round Photo: Stephen Dunn/Getty Images
