Faulk has a long, developing frame, good movement skills and the potential for odd or even fronts once he gains more muscle mass. Heās a culture player with high character who earns a grade bump based on his age (turns 21 in September), traits and advanced foundation. A fluid athlete with good movement skills, he works around blocks with finesse but needs more assertive initial strikes to set firmer edges in gap control. His toughness and mentality suggest heāll play through blocks more consistently in an NFL environment. Faulkās rush is diverse. However, with average upfield burst, he might require a move inside on passing downs, where his long levers, quickness and agility can overmatch guards. Faulk needs polish but offers a high ceiling that should reveal itself within a couple of years. The feeling here is that Faulk checks a lot of boxes; his profile is one worth betting on. The Eagles seem to be interested in acquiring a more proven commodity at edge rusher but itās looking like that might be a costly option between contract and draft pick compensation ramifications. Faulk represents good value at No. 23 and the Eagles do appear to be interested in him; Faulk recently told the Inquirerās Devin Jackson that Philly hosted him on a pre-draft visit. Besides, Faulk was the most popular option in the BGN poll I conducted to help make this pick: So, what do you think of my selection?
