Overview
- Media evaluations published Wednesday place Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles in the top 10 of the first round, with some scenarios sliding him to No. 14 for Baltimore.
- USA TODAY’s new mock sends Arvell Reese to the Jets at No. 2, Carnell Tate to the Giants at No. 5, Styles to Washington at No. 7, and Caleb Downs to the Bengals at No. 10.
- A USA TODAY fit preview tabs the Titans, Commanders, Cowboys, Giants, and Saints as strong schematic homes for Styles based on linebacker roles and front-seven builds.
- A Ravens Reacts fan survey on Yahoo Sports presents Styles as a best-player option at Baltimore’s No. 14, with writers expecting him to open as an off-ball partner for Roquan Smith.
- Outlier combine numbers have fueled Styles’ rise, with a 4.47-second 40, a 43.5-inch vertical, and an 11-foot-2 broad at 6-foot-5 and 244 pounds, while Downs remains a top safety with top-10 upside.
