Pewter Report analyzes the top players in the 2025 NFL Draft with its position previews. Scott Reynolds continues the previews at the defensive tackle position, offering a comprehensive look at what the Bucs have and what they need on the interior of the defensive line.

Bailey Adams then analyzes a detailed list of this year’s top defensive tackle prospects while Reynolds provides the annual Pewter Report Bucs Best Bets – the most likely tackles for Tampa Bay to select in Rounds 1-3, and in Rounds 4-7.

What The Bucs Have At Defensive Tackle

The Bucs have a veteran-laden defensive tackle room led by two-time Pro Bowler Vita Vea, who just turned 30 and is coming off his best season since being drafted by the team with their first pick in 2018. Vea had a career-best seven sacks and managed to stay healthy for 17 games, including the playoffs, thanks to losing some weight and playing closer to 347 pounds this year.

Calijah Kancey edged Vea for the team’s sack lead with a career-best 7.5 sacks in his second season with the team. Unfortunately Kancey began his second year in Tampa Bay with another calf injury that caused him to miss the first five games of the season. The Bucs can’t wait to see what Kancey could do with a full 17-game season as his speed and agility cause fits for opposing offensive lines.

Logan Hall, the team’s first pick in 2022, had a breakout season with 5.5 sacks after living on the verge of being a bust. Hall had his best game of the year with a career-high seven tackles versus Washington in the playoff loss and is entering a contract year. He’s playing for a big payday in Tampa Bay or elsewhere in 2026.

Veteran Greg Gaines, 28, is back for another season in red and pewter after re-signing for one yet yet again. Gaines is the team’s primary backup at nose tackle and is a decent run stuffer. After Gaines there are question marks surrounding the final two roster spots on the D-line.

C.J. Brewer, a former practice squad player, had a pair of sacks in the Falcons game at Tampa Bay, but didn’t contribute much else in other games. He returns in 2025 to see if he can build upon last season. Eric Banks spent last year on injured reserve and will vie for a spot on the roster or the practice squad. Mike Greene, another practice squared, is back to do the same. Tampa Bay signed 32-year old Adam Gotsis, a 10-year veteran, this offseason to see if he has anything left in the tank. And the jury is still out whether or not 33-year old veteran Will Gholston will return for 13th season at 34 or if he’ll retire.

What The Bucs Need At Defensive Tackle

The Bucs don’t necessarily need to draft a defensive tackle this year with the top four on the depth chart – Vita Vea, Calijah Kancey, Logan Hall and Greg Gaines – all under contract in 2025. But Tampa Bay would be wise to take advantage of a very deep and talented draft class at the position this year.

Vea just turned 30, Kancey is entering the third year of his contract, Hall will be playing in his contract year, and Gaines will be 29 next year and is slated for free agency. What is a team strength right now could quickly turn into a position with a big question mark next year if the Bucs don’t continue to stockpile young talent at defensive tackle.

The Bucs did have formal interviews with four defensive tackles at the NFL Scouting Combine in Toledo’s Darius Alexander, Utah’s Junior Tafuna, Clemson’s Payton Page and South Carolina’s Tonka Hemingway. Tampa Bay also had Alexander in for an official 30 visit along with Texas A&M defensive tackle Shemar Turner and Tennessee’s Omarr Norman-Lott. The team doesn’t need to necessarily draft one before Day 3 given other positional needs elsewhere, but at least adding another defensive tackle seems like a wise move.

Top Defensive Tackles In 2025 NFL Draft

*Important Note: These players are NOT listed in the order of Pewter Report’s ranking for them. Rather, the numbers are provided to show you the rough order in which we expect them to come off the board during the draft.

1. Michigan DT Mason Graham – Junior – 6-3 1/2, 306 – N/A

The consensus top defensive tackle and a potential Top 5pick, Graham has an exceptional pedigree. A freshman All-American in 2022, he went on to earn second-team All-American honors in 2023 before being a consensus All-American in 2024. His production over three years (two as a starter) doesn’t jump off the page, as he totaled nine sacks and 17 tackles for loss over 39 games (27 starts). But his impact was absolutely felt for a Michigan defense that led the way to a national title in 2023. Then, he arguably had an even better year in 2024 after a lot of talent left for the NFL.

Graham has a wrestling background, which is evident in the way he understands and knows how to win with leverage. He has an impressive combination of strength, quickness and drive, and he plays both the pass and the run exceptionally well. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler mentioned in his “The Beast” draft preview that NFL scouts say Graham has some “sloppy weight” on his frame, but that’s nothing that he can’t fix. He’s disruptive on the interior and projects as a starter from day one.

2. Michigan DT Kenneth Grant – Junior – 6-3, 330 – 5.13

Grant was another two-year starter at Michigan, totaling 6.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss over 27 games in 2023 and 2024. He was a force against the run, playing a key role in a defense that was sixth-best in the country at defending the run in 2023 and fifth-best in 2024. He was at one time included on Bruce Feldman’s annual “Freaks List,” and it’s easy to see why when you watch the blend of size, strength and quickness on his tape.

Grant also proved to be versatile on the interior of the defensive line for the Wolverines, as he spent time at both three-technique and nose tackle. He moves well laterally, and his motor keeps going. Just see the highlight below from a 2023 game against Penn State for proof of that. His 10 pass breakups over the last two seasons also indicate a good feel for getting his arms up to knock passes down at the line, and while he is more of a run defender at this point, he has the potential to develop into more of a pass rushing presence in the future.

3. Oregon DT Derrick Harmon – RS Junior – 6-4, 313 – 4.95

There wasn’t a whole lot to write home about from Harmon’s first three collegiate seasons, which all came at Michigan State. Over 28 games (15 starts), he totaled 71 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 6.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble. But after transferring to Oregon in 2024, he broke out with his best year yet. In 14 games (all starts) for the Ducks, he posted 45 tackles, five sacks, 10.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and three passes defensed – all career highs.

Harmon can win in different ways and has great size, length and quickness. His athleticism is impressive, and he does have a good variety to the way he goes about shedding blocks (though he could work on a more defined plan with better sequencing). The odd thing about the Spartan-turned-Duck, though, is that while he led interior linemen at the FBS level in pressures, he had his troubles finishing – so much so, in fact, that he led the position with 12 missed tackles as well. If he cleans that up, there’s double-digit sack potential there.

4. Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen – Junior – 6-3, 300 – N/A

The name of the game for Nolen is developing some consistency. He flashes plenty of potential and can create disruption, but it doesn’t always show up from snap to snap or even game to game. He can get caught out of position by reacting before reading, which is something he’ll have to correct at the next level. Still, Nolen is explosive and gets off the ball well, plus he uses his length to his advantage.

Nolen was another player whose game evolved when he got to his second stop in college. He began his career at Texas A&M, where he played two years and totaled just five sacks and 11 tackles for loss over 22 games (14 starts). In 2024, he transferred to Ole Miss and joined Patrick Willis as the only consensus All-Americans from the front seven in program history. Over 13 starts with the Rebels, Nolen finished with 48 tackles, 6.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss, with three passes defensed to boot. All of those marks were career highs, which makes it seem like the arrow is pointing up for the former five-star recruit.

5. Ohio State DT Tyleik Williams – Junior – 6-2 1/2, 329 – N/A

Primarily the 3-technique at Ohio State, Williams’ production shows up more on tape than it does on the stat sheet. He plays the run exceptionally well, using his initial jump off the snap to his advantage while fitting his gaps perfectly. His sack production for the Buckeyes was weird. He went from a career-high five sacks as a freshman in 2021 to one in 2022, three in 2023 and 2.5 in 2024. But he did post 18 tackles for loss over his final two seasons in Columbus, plus he posted 100 tackles over those two campaigns.

Williams has a good grip on how blockers are trying to attack him and because of that, has a feel for splitting up double-teams. He’s also extremely disciplined both in terms of his play (gap integrity and an overall lack of penalties) and his work ethic (he has worked hard on his body, cutting down to 329 pounds after coming into college over 360 pounds). He doesn’t have the ideal length you’d want and his pass rushing ability has room for improvement, but there’s a good base to work with here.

6. Toledo DT Darius Alexander – Sixth-Year Senior – 6-3 1/2, 305 – 4.95

Alexander had a long career at Toledo, as he first arrived in 2019. He redshirted that year, then played (but didn’t start) six games during the COVID-shortened 2020 season. His production began to pick up a little more in 2021 and 2022, which saw him play a combined 26 games (four starts), with 42 tackles, 1.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss and five passes defensed. From there, he went on to be a two-year starter, starting 23 of 26 games over the 2023 and 2024 seasons and posting 76 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss and eight passes defensed.

Alexander has an NFL frame and overall length, and he uses his long 33-inch arms to his advantage as evidenced by his 13 passes defensed over the last four years. Even with his size, he is a good mover laterally and can sniff out and shut down screens. With six years in college, he’s obviously an older prospect (he’ll be 25 as a rookie), and his production largely didn’t match his profile considering he had nine sacks over 59 career games. But there’s reason to believe Alexander’s ceiling is higher and that he’ll hit a next level in the NFL.

7. South Carolina DT T.J. Sanders – RS Junior – 6-3 1/2, 305 – 4.95

Sanders is tall with an athletic frame that he uses well. He’s a fluid mover, and he works well off stunts and loops while also getting side to side well enough to stop the run. There is a surprising amount of power from him at the point of attack when you consider his size and overall profile, but he doesn’t have the mass and power you’d expect out of a guy you want to dominate the trenches in the NFL. He is dinged for a lack of awareness and plays with too much aggression at times, which can leave him out of sorts if he doesn’t win with his initial jump.

Sanders’ production for the Gamecocks was pretty modest, too, as he totaled 9.5 sacks over 39 career games (16 starts), with zero forced fumbles to his name. His best year came in 2023, when he posted 4.5 sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss – both career highs. Those numbers came down to four sacks and seven tackles for loss in his senior season, though he saw more rotation as part of an elite defensive front.

8. Texas DT Alfred Collins – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-5 1/2, 332 – N/A

Collins was only a one-year starter at Texas, but his durability over five seasons stands out. He played in 64 of 65 games for the Longhorns over those five seasons. The massive nose tackle was most disruptive against the run, and finished his college career by stepping into a starting role in 2024 after playing behind T’Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy III in 2023. Over 16 starts in 2024, he totaled a sack and 5.5 tackles for loss, with an eye-catching seven passes defensed going along with one forced fumble. His 55 tackles to two missed tackles will also catch the attention of NFL evaluators.

Collins has great size for the nose tackle position in the NFL, and while he’s a big man, he’s also plenty coordinated. He obviously has natural power, but he moves his feet well, too. His leverage off the ball is inconsistent at times, which can get him into trouble, but he has an impressive motor. He’ll be a good depth add as a rookie, with plenty of potential to improve and wind up as a starter once he gets more experience.

9. Texas A&M DT Shemar Turner – Senior – 6-3, 290 – N/A

Turner is all over the place in terms of projections and big boards. He may very well be selected ahead of some of the defensive tackles who came before him on this list, but there are questions he will have had to answer during the pre-draft process. Some come from off the field, where he was arrested and charged for reckless driving during the 2023 season. Other questions will have been about his seven personal foul penalties over the last two seasons (including five in 2024), as well as his ejection from the Ole Miss game in 2023.

On the field, Turner is certainly intriguing. With an explosive lower half and quickness that he managed to maintain despite adding 30 pounds to his frame before the 2024 season, he can be quick to beat blockers. But he also plays with an air of violence, which can be seen with his swim and club-rip moves. Plus, despite those aforementioned questions about his character, he has been described as a great teammate and has owned up to his mistakes. A drop from six sacks in 2023 to two in 2024 hurts, but Turner has the right tools and could go early on Day 2.

10. Florida State DT Joshua Farmer – RS Junior – 6-3, 305 – 5.11

Farmer is thickly built and has big hands and long arms, which he uses well to bounce off initial contact. There’s been a lot said about how hard he worked to get into the best shape of his life over the course of his time at Florida State and entered his final season ready to lead from the front after the departure of some key pieces from the Seminoles’ 2023 defense. He was a team captain and while the team sputtered, he managed to back up the production he posted in 2023.

That 2023 production came in the form of 32 tackles, seven tackles for loss, five sacks, a forced fumble and two passes defensed over 13 games (all starts). Then, with a host of Florida State defenders off to the NFL, he started all 12 of the Noles’ games in 2024, posting 32 tackles, eight tackles for loss and four sacks. He was a two-time All-ACC Academic team honoree in his time in Tallahassee, too, which is another testament to his work ethic.

11. Tennessee DT Omarr Norman-Lott – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-1 1/2, 303 – 5.15

Norman-Lott was a standout at the Senior Bowl after a five-year career that included stops at Arizona State and then Tennessee. He had just four sacks and seven tackles for loss over 21 games (two starts) for the Sun Devils before breaking out a little bit with the Volunteers. After posting 5.5 sacks and six tackles for loss over 10 games (two starts) in 2023, he had four sacks in 13 games (zero starts). He missed three games three times in his career, plus he was used in a rotation for the most part at Tennessee, which limited his production a bit as well.

Norman-Lott is compactly built at 6-foot-1 1/2 and 303 pounds. Because of that, he is able to attack blockers with great leverage and with some impressive explosiveness, which helps him win right off the snap. He’s an interesting case overall, though. The skill set is there and he has a high motor, but him being a part-time player (averaging only 17.3 defensive snaps per game last year) remains puzzling and may have hurt his stock. He was also highly penalized and was at one time suspended for a half in 2023 after being involved in a post-game altercation with Florida.

12. Nebraska DT Ty Robinson – Sixth-Year Senior – 6-5, 288 – 4.83

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler wisely likens Robinson to “an oak tree because he’s big, thick and strong. He’s aggressive and strong at the point of attack, and it’s that power bull rush that is the basis for his pass rush plan. The violence he plays with is always going to play, even if his ceiling isn’t the highest among this deep defensive tackle draft class. Robinson’s toughness and grit earned him a lot of praise at Nebraska, as he was rewarded with a single-digit number the last two seasons (given to the team’s toughest players) and drew some emotional praise from head coach Matt Rhule because of his team-first mentality.

It’s not surprising that Robinson endeared himself to his coaches, teammates and fans, as he was a five-year starter for the Cornhuskers. Those are hard to come by. He gradually built up his production from 2020-2023 before breaking out with a career year in his final campaign in Lincoln. Over 13 games (all starts) in 2024, he totaled 37 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks, a forced fumble and four passes defensed. He might never develop into a star, but Robinson seems like the type of depth piece who can carve out a long career for himself in the NFL.

The Best Of The Rest

13. Kentucky DT Deone Walker – Junior – 6-7, 328 – 5.35

Walker had a good mix of lining up at 3-technique, nose tackle and even on/outside the tackle, making him a versatile piece to have in a defensive line rotation. He’s a massive guy, but has plenty of athleticism and quickness to his profile as well. He was a three-year starter at Kentucky, totaling 132 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, a forced fumble and six passes defensed. Unfortunately, though, the two-time team captain was diagnosed with pars defect (a fracture between two vertebrae in the spine) last season, which was partially why his 7.5-sack total from 2023 dropped to just 1.5.

14. Indiana DT C.J. West – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-1, 316- 4.95

West doesn’t have the ideal height and length, and he’s mostly maxed out his frame. But he has a natural leverage to work with, which helps him generate push up the middle. A high-character guy with versatility to play at different spots along the defensive line, he began his career with four years at Kent State before becoming a huge part of Indiana’s top-ranked run defense in 2024. Compared by Dane Brugler to Poona Ford, West’s lack of sack production (nine over 52 games) likely won’t keep him from finding a home in a rotation somewhere given how well he plays the run and creates interior pressure.

15. Virginia Tech DT Aeneas Peebles – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-0, 282 – 4.94

Peebles began his career at Duke, totaling just 3.5 sacks and five tackles for loss over his first 35 games (2020-2022) before breaking out in 2023 with five sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss over 13 games (one start). He then transferred to Virginia Tech in 2024 and finally got a chance to start (after totaling just three in 48 games at Duke). He posted modest production, with 31 tackles, three sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss. His 37 pressures did rank third among interior defensive linemen at the FBS level, though, and while his unconventional build may raise questions about his NFL ceiling, he plays with enough burst and technique to potentially carve out a role for himself.

16. Maryland DT Jordan Phillips – RS Sophomore – 6-1 1/2, 313 – N/A

An Ocoee, Florida, product, Phillips started for two years at Maryland after initially starting his college career at Tennessee. He has tools to work with, but his lack of production at the college level stands out. He had zero sacks and just 2.5 tackles for loss over 28 career games (23 starts). But he’s an alum of Bruce Feldman’s “Freaks List” given his ridiculous strength, and he’s a hard worker. Phillips has a background in wrestling, basketball, swimming and weightlifting, too. And he’s only 20, so he’s one of the younger prospects in this year’s draft class. In time and with the right coaching, he’s bound to unlock the potential that his physical traits give him.

17. Texas DT Vernon Broughton – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-5, 311 – N/A

Broughton is a big, big guy at 6-foot-5, 311 pounds. He uses that size to his advantage by converting it to power and violence. Like Alfred Collins, he also had to wait his turn behind T’Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy at Texas, but he got his shot in 2024 and finished fourth on the team in pressures while totaling four sacks and two forced fumbles over 16 games. There’s plenty of developing to do, but Broughton looks like he’ll be an intriguing pickup early on Day 3, if not later on Day 2 of the draft.

18. Oregon DT Jamaree Caldwell – Sixth-Year Senior – 6-2, 332 – 5.16

Caldwell stepped away from football at one point in 2020 before working his way back up through junior college. He ended up at Houston in 2022, where he would play 3-tech and eventually break out in 2023 with 8.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. He also blocked field goals in both of his seasons with the Cougars before ultimately transferring to Oregon in 2024. His sack total dropped to zero in his lone year as the Ducks’ nose tackle, but that’s not to say he wasn’t a consistent presence on the interior of the line. With experience at both 3-tech and nose tackle, Caldwell will draw some attention early on Day 3.

19. Ohio State DT Ty Hamilton – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-2 1/2, 299 – 4.95

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler has Hamilton all the way up at 11th in his defensive tackle rankings, but the consensus board has him at 171 overall – 22nd among tackles. He is still new to playing on the inside, having added 30 pounds to move there from defensive end before going on to play a big role in Ohio State’s title-winning 2024 season. He’s quick off the snap and uses his hands well, but with eight sacks over 58 games (29 starts) with the Buckeyes, he hasn’t quite gotten there as a pass rusher yet.

20. UCLA DT Jay Toia – Senior – 6-2, 341 – N/A

Another player with significant discrepancies as to where he ranks, Toia is Brugler’s 13th-ranked defensive tackle while being the 36th defensive tackle on the consensus board (321st overall). He played 0- and 1-technique at UCLA and did a lot of eating up blocks to create opportunities for his teammates. There’s value in that, and he’s very good against the run. But with just three sacks and nine tackles for loss over 50 games (36 starts) for the Bruins, his production won’t catch anyone’s eye.

21. Ole Miss DT J.J. Pegues – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-2, 309 – 5.15

Pegues is big and well-built, but his game is more quickness and finesse than power. The Oxford native started his career as a tight end at Auburn before transferring home to Ole Miss and totaling 10 sacks and 26.5 tackles for loss over three seasons with the Rebels. His athleticism was also on display with the Ole Miss offense, as he was used as a short-yardage back – with great success. He had 11 first downs, 10 broken tackles and seven touchdowns on 21 carries last year. A high-character guy who is still learning as a D-lineman, Pegues is an easy-to-love prospect. I mean, the guy did both defensive tackle and fullback/tight end drills at this year’s NFL Combine.

Ole Miss DT/FB J.J. Pegues Photo by: USA Today

22. Notre Dame DT Rylie Mills – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-5, 296 – N/A

Mills was a three-year starter at Notre Dame, and his production built year by year. He capped off his career in 2024 by leading the Fighting Irish with 7.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss despite missing the last three games with a knee injury. It’s that knee injury that drops his draft stock this low, as he is an energetic player who has good play strength that makes him a good fit at different spots along the line.

23. Florida DT Cam Jackson – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-6, 328 – 5.17

Jackson is obviously huge, at 6-foot-6, 328 pounds. He stands out right away because of that, but the nose tackle is also a good athlete considering that size. He’ll eat up blocks and plays the run well, but there’s little sack production to see here. He topped out at 1.5 sacks, which he did twice in his career (once in 2021 at Memphis and once in 2024 at Florida. He wasn’t penalized once in 2024, which is something he can certainly hang his hat on.

24. Boston College DT Cam Horsley – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-2 1/2, 312 – 5.04

Horsley was a four-year starter at Boston College, where he was strong against the run. His backfield production built up over the years in terms of tackles for loss, as he went from 1.5 in both 2020 and 2021 to 5.5 in 2022. After dipping down to three in 2023, he finished with a career-high seven as a fifth-year senior. However, his 3.5 sacks over 59 games (46 starts) indicate that he’s not a pass rushing force. Still, he’s played a lot of football over the last five years despite not picking up the sport until high school.

25. Iowa DT Yahya Black – Fifth-Year Senior – 6-5 1/2, 336 – 5.38

Black, whose first name is pronounced “WHY-yay” (sorry to Bucs fans who might’ve been hoping for double Yayas with Black and Yaya Diaby), is a massive presence. He’s limited as a pass rusher, but his long arms do allow him to create some push up the middle. He started 27 games over his last two seasons at Iowa, totaling 12 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks with two forced fumbles. If he can learn to play with better leverage more consistently, he may turn into a more disruptive player.

Bucs Best Bets By Scott Reynolds

Rounds 1-3: Toledo DT Darius Alexander

It’s pretty clear that the Bucs like Alexander considering the amount of homework the team has done on him with a formal interview at the NFL Scouting Combine and an official 30 visit to the team facility. And it’s easy to see why. At 6-foot-4, 305 pounds, Alexander has a great blend of size, strength, speed and agility. He had a great Combine, running a 4.95 in the 40-yard dash, which is a great time for a defensive tackle. Alexander is coming off a strong week at the Senior Bowl where he turned heads and was named the National team’s defensive lineman of the week.

That followed a sensational bowl game in a six-overtime win against Pittsburgh where he had six tackles, a sack and had a 58-yard pick-six. Alexander was a two-year starter for the Rockets and massed 7.5 sacks over his junior and senior seasons along with eight pass breakups. He wins at the line of scrimmage with strong, quick hands and a good feel for disrupting blocking schemes. Alexander is a very intense, stout run defender who is an emerging pass rusher. He would be an ideal eventual replacement for Logan Hall as a Day 2 selection.

Rounds 4-7: South Carolina DT Tonka Hemingway

Hemingway started 28 games in five seasons at South Carolina, and saw action in 61 games. He’s been battled-tested having played against SEC competition during his college career, and has totaled 112 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. Hemingway has a very good football I.Q. and can affect the passing game even without getting to the quarterback. He batted down seven passes in the 2023 season and has a total of 11 passes defensed in his Gamecocks career. His 33-inch arms and 80-inch wingspan sever Hemingway well in many ways.

Hemingway, who ran a 5.02 at the NFL Scouting Combine where he had a formal interview with the Bucs, also has a nose for the end zone – even as a defensive tackle. He scored a touchdown on a 36-yard fumble recovery last year and had a 2-yard rushing TD while getting a few snaps on offense in 2023. In 2022, Hemingway scored on a two-point conversion and had a 16-yard reception on a fake field goal, which speaks to his athleticism. At 6-foot-3, 284 pounds, Hemingway’s game is similar to that of Calijah Kancey, another undersized defensive tackle who wins with quickness and and agility.
