The nose tackles who may still be available at the end of first and second rounds, according to NFL Draft Geek are as follows:

Malcom Brown, DT, Texas (6-2 3/8, 319 pounds, 5.05 40)

Selected first-team All-American as a junior in 2014, Brown in an explosive athlete with outstanding quickness; playmaker behind the line of scrimmage; prototypical size for an NFL defensive tackle; frame has room to be maxed out; able to turn speed and quickness into power [NFL Draft Geek].

Jordan Phillips, DT, Oklahoma (6-5 1/4, 329 pounds, 5.15 40)

Red-shirt Freshman.  Massive height, weight & length; remarkable athleticism for a man his size; shows quickness, agility and flexibility; behemoth who can occupy multiple gaps and clog up the middle; rare zero/one technique nose tackle potential; inexperienced; only one year of real starting experience [NFL Draft Geek].

Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State (6-foot-3 7/8, 336 pounds, 5.27 40)

Thick, powerful and very strong; imposing presence in the middle of the field; quick-twitch athlete; carries his pads very well, nimble, light on his feet; strong at the point of attack; gets a great job and explodes into blockers; uses hands to his advantage; heavy but also quick. flashes potential as pass rusher; underachiever; never played up to his potential [NFL Draft Geek].

Carl Davis, DT, Iowa (6-4 5/8, 320 pounds, 5.14 40)

Flashes of dominance; skill set is rare and ideal, potential and upside are tremendous; natural power and size makes him a force in the middle of the field; can occupy double teams and eat up space; bull rush can be unstoppable when he’s on; dominant Senior Bowl performance; voted Practice Player of the Week; frustratingly inconsistent; underachiever [NFL Draft Geek].
