Kai Parham
ILB, Virginia
War Room analysis
KAI PARHAM MEASURABLES
Height: 6-3 Weight: 256
40-yard dash: 4.96 10-yard dash: 1.65
20-yard shuttle: 4.33 60-yard shuttle: 12.19
Broad jump: 9-8 225-lb. bench: 30
3-cone drill: 7.35 Vertical jump: 35
Wonderlic: 26 20-yard dash: 2.86
Strengths: Is big and tall with a strong build. Plays with intensity and plenty of power. Shows great speed and initial quickness. Makes big hits. Moves well laterally and plays under control. Takes good angles and makes plays in pursuit. Stuffs the run. Blitzing instincts have improved. Is a solid open-field tackler. Has a great work ethic.
Weaknesses: Sometimes plays too upright and stiff; struggles to change direction. Must play with better leverage. Isn't fluid. Has trouble turning and running in coverage. Lacks a good feel for zone coverage. Struggle against quick running backs man-to-man.
Bottom line: Parham, an early-rising junior, led the Cavaliers in tackles and earned first team All-ACC honors in his final college season. He isn't an elite athlete, but he has steadily improved with his good combination of size, speed and strength. With his NFL starting potential, but not full potential, he projects to go early or in the middle of the fourth round.
Dan Pompei analysis
Is big with a thick build. Physical player works best in the box. Packs a punch. Early-entry junior is a dedicated athlete. Isn't neither very athletic nor fast. Can be exploited in coverage; probably won't contribute much on passing downs.
