4th Round Pick- Jalyn Holmes- DE/DT, Ohio St.

Post by Pondering Her Percy »

Vikings selected Ohio State DE Jalyn Holmes with the No. 102 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft.
Holmes (6’5/283) was a rotational lineman for the Buckeyes’ defense all four years, tallying 14 career tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks, and earning honorable mention All-Big Ten as a junior and senior. Holmes ran well (4.82) for his size at the Combine and did 25 reps on the bench. Tall and long armed (34"), Holmes primarily manned three-technique tackle on passing downs in Columbus and won with power over quickness. He projects as a low-ceiling but still-useful situational lineman in the pros.
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent and the choices you make will shape your life forever.

Has the upside to start imo but will take a lot of coaching.
