David Edwards Getting Grades for Day Two of the 2019 NFL Draft

Updated Nov. 1, 2018

Entering the 2018 season, there were multiple draft experts who were projecting Wisconsin right tackle David Edwards to be a top-20 pick. They said they were hearing that high projection from NFL team sources and that Edwards was in the running to be the top tackle prospect. With only a third of the college football season remaining, WalterFootball.com reached out to team sources to hear if they were high on Edwards. That was not the case; multiple team sources said they had graded Edwards after the first round. Edwards play this fall has not lived up to the media preseason hype.

One general manager told me they had given Edwards a second-round grade. Another national scout said they were going to have Edwards lower, commenting: "He's playing like s--t this year. Looked much better last year."

This season, Edwards has had rough or underwhelming performances in games against BYU, Michigan, and Northwestern. Some players that won't play in the NFL have gotten the better of Edwards in the pass rush. Edwards is a big tackle who is reliable as a run blocker, but he clearly needs development for the passing-driven NFL. With Edwards having a year of eligibility remaining, it would be wise of him to return to school to improve rather than entering the 2019 NFL Draft, based on the comments from team sources.
