Cardinals Hosting High Upside DL on NFL Draft Meeting

The Cardinals have had other Top 30 visits with defensive line prospects such as Missouri's Chris McClellan and various edge rushers, who could be used early in the draft.

Proctor, however, figures to be a Day 3 pick worth plenty of upside despite his shortcomings.

From The Athletic's Dane Brugler:

"Proctor lacks ideal girth and will need to prove himself versus NFL size, but his athletic traits, passionate motor and elite intangibles are qualities NFL teams should want in their organization. Similar in ways to Kobie Turner, he is worth a Day 3 gamble."

Proctor's strengths rest within his ability to create chaos in the interior as a fairly eye-opening athlete for the position. He's able to impact the run and pass at high levels while showing lateral ability to squeeze through gaps and make plays in the backfield.

Proctor, however, is considered undersized at 6-2, 290 lbs. His level of competition playing at Southeastern Louisiana also isn't on par with other prospects who played against NFL caliber talent on a weekly basis, making his evalaution tough.

He had nine sacks last season and was formerly a linebacker before making the transition to the trenches.
