2017 NFL Draft Big Board: Here are your top-10 edge prospects

7. Takkarist McKinley, UCLA (6-2, 265) — Film Grade: 81.5

Quick Take: Very few people were talking about McKinley as a legitimate pro prospect entering the 2016 season.

However, the Bruins outside linebacker splashed on the scene his senior year, recording 10 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, and six pass breakups.

On tape, he shows excellent movement skills in space, even holding his own when dropping in coverage or turning to chase down a ball carrier outside the tackle box. He also has good speed off the edge and quick footwork to set up his man with counter moves.

Despite a lot of ability, McKinley’s game still has room to improve. He could serve to get stronger in order to hold a better edge against the run and develop an effective bull rush at the next level.

He’s an ideal fit at outside linebacker for a 3-4 team.
