STRENGTHS
Logan is an inside defensive lineman who has good athleticism and size to play more than one position, depending on down and distance. He is a strong pass rusher using good techniques and pad level to get into the backfield quickly. Logan is tall with long arms and legs and is quick off the line and this allows him on passing downs to have an advantage off the snap to be disruptive. Logan can be used inside in a 4/3 defense or on the outside in a 3/4 defense. On passing downs, he can be used over the center and this will give the team that selects him a lot of options. Logan’s pass-rushing skills and techniques might be the most mature out of this group of inside defensive linemen in this draft class.
CONCERNS
Logan’s pass-rushing skills will get him drafted but his lack of attention to stuffing the run will make him expendable in the future. His lack of attention to detail, anticipating where the double team is coming from, and overall inconsistency in shedding blocks and making tackles at the line of scrimmage are frustrating to me. He has the talent and size to be a complete Defensive lineman but he has to “want” to do the grunt work. For the purpose of this draft, I consider Logan as a system defensive lineman and if I’m correct this will affect his draft status.
BOTTOM LINE: 2.64
I like Logan’s talent but I’d like him more if he was as concerned about shutting down a team’s running game as he is rushing the passer. There is no doubt that if Logan plays in what I call a “one gap attack” type of defense that he can be very effective. There is no doubt in my mind that on passing downs he can be very disruptive. That being said, you must know by now, that I don’t give high marks to players who are not trying to be complete players. Since I do not interview players or interact with them I can only go by what I see on film. What I see with Logan is a very good pass rusher from the inside who will need to be in the right system to maximize his talents. I’m sure many others will think differently.
