| Matt Miller quote on Tarell Basham |

"揖eep an eye on Ohio defensive end Tarell Basham. One scout I spoke to this week said he saw the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans "all over" the edge-rusher."
This quote was included in Matt Miller's draft story today in the Bleacher Report, which is a great e-mail publication. Tarell has created enough of a buzz that any team that really likes him had better write his name on their card in the second round. I'd love to see my NY Jets take him, as they desperately need an edge rusher. There's no way to know how he'd fare standing up as an outside linebacker in their 3-4 scheme. But I'm confident that whoever takes Tarell will get a guy, an Ohio U. guy, who will find his way to the passer!

The Saints are on him as well. This article compares Basham to Myles Garrett and seems to say that Basham is better. http://whodatdish.com/2017/04/16/saints-draft-focus-ohio-... /

Myles Garrett had zero tackles in his bowl game, he basically ate cupcakes, while Basham was constantly held and dominant against a common opponent.

This probably did, too:

This is the scouting report on Tarell on the NFL's website:
COMBINE RESULTS
GRADE
5.67
40--4.70 SEC
15 REPS
31.5 INCH
119.0 INCH
7.27 SEC
4.35 SEC
6'4"
HEIGHT
34 1/4"
ARM LENGTH
269LBS.
WEIGHT
10 1/4"
HANDS
OVERVIEW
Basham's become quite a football player during his career at Ohio, but his parents are probably most proud of his perfect high school attendance and the fact he's the first member of the family to attend college. He played one fall at Hargrave Military Academy, which prepared him to make an impression in his freshman year, earning Freshman All-American notice (9.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks). He played well in 2014 (six TFL, five sacks) and 2015 (led team with 11 TFL, 5.5 sacks), as well, but really broke out in 2016 as the Mid-American Conference's Defensive Player of the Year (16 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks � tied for 11th in the FBS).
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Possesses an NFL-ready build including long arms and big, strong hands. Shows flashes of explosive twitch in his attack upfield. Able to dislodge a tackle's anchor with his speed-to-power move. Has upper body power and traits to become better at softening the edge as a rusher. Plays with good short area burst to close out running backs and scrambling quarterbacks. Maintains functional motor to keep looking for tackles outside of his general area. Asked to drop into space at times and showed enough athletic ability to handle it. Roughneck who likes to take it to tackles and tight ends as edge-setter. Gives physical redirect of tight ends getting into routes.
WEAKNESSES Plays with tightness in his hips which restricts his bend and pad level. Straight-line attacker who will roll past his target if he doesn't gather his weight early. His pass rush attack is still basic. Leaves his hands at home rather than turning them into weapons of victory. Tries to bull his way around the edge with strong lower body rather than softening edge with his hands. Needs to develop a better plan with reliable counters to beat pro tackles. Lacks smoothness in his turn around the corner. Can still get more out of his long arms.
SOURCES TELL US "He is similar to Carl Lawson but I think you can get him probably a couple of rounds later or maybe more. I think he can still get a lot better as a pass rusher." -- NFC area scout
BOTTOM LINE Basham has the strength and length to play as a 4-3 base end or as a 3-4 rush linebacker, but his pass rush approach will need to be sharpened as he lacks the flexibility to bend the edge and attack the pocket with athleticism alone. Basham may never produce a high sack total, but his alpha playing style will appeal to teams looking to groom a solid backup with starter's potential.

Mel Kiper's latest mock draft has Bashamn going in the third round, #85 overall, to the Lions, saying, "Basham is a premium pass-rusher who's a great fit at end in a 4-3."

He has probably had personal workouts with 20 of the 32 teams. 49ers are the latest.
