Pass Rush Skills-3-Adequate first step quickness and snap anticipation for his size, but he's not going to win many battles with pure speed. Has average length (33 ¼') and flashes heavy hands. Doesn't have great torso flexibility, but he shows the ability to dip his pads and work through contact at the top of his rush. He's very effective converting speed to power when coming off with proper leverage. Flashes explosive upper body power to jar blockers and push the pocket. Still needs develop his counter punching; he can become more of finisher in this area. Average-to-slightly above average closing burst. Does a nice job of utilizing height and length to get hands up in throwing lanes.

Versus the run-1-Area of strength. Very good skills at the point of attack. Thick and long frame with excellent core strength. Massive and heavy hands (11 ¾') that have some shock to them. He utilizes his length well to stack blockers, create separation and find the ball. Active hand fighter in a phone booth and does a nice job of shedding, redirecting and finishing. Will play high at times and can get into trouble with down blocks. Redirects well and shows adequate lateral agility and range.

Versatility-1-Has the ability to line up in multiple positions along the defensive line. Ideal fit is as a 5-technique for a base 34 scheme. But he also possesses enough quickness and agility to line up as a LDE in 43 defense. Has experience reducing inside as a 3-technique, particularly in heavy pass rushing situations.

Instincts/Motor-2-Has a tone-setter mentality to his game. Displays a physical and aggressive demeanor on tape. Shows good fight at the point of attack and is willing to mix it up. Will chase in pursuit. Made a handful of second effort plays on tape. But he will tire if left on the field for a long string of consecutive plays.

Does Dials extension mean Buckner pick is less likely?

I dont think so, becuase Dial is more of a base down DE. Armstead and Buckner could get a breather on 1st and 2nd down with Dial.
