Derrick Harmon’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
There’s something to be said about a DT who’s reliable in both phases of the game. Whether you need a pass-rushing catalyst or a stout run defender with two-gapping ability, Oregon’s Derrick Harmon has what you need.
That’s why he’s a popular Round 1 target. At around 6’4 1/2″ and a playing weight of 320 pounds, with over 34″ arms, Harmon outmatches many blockers off size alone. In the run game, his anchor strength and shedding ability can be overwhelming, and his violent hands erode blocks on the rush.
Harmon’s pad level can drift high at times, and he has moderate hip stiffness, which can limit his versatility as a stunting lineman. That said, as a two-gapping Goliath with a ruthless power element and motor in the passing game, Harmon has impact starter upside.

Derrick Harmon’s Latest NFL Draft Projection
PFSN’s Ian Cummings projected Harmon to be drafted 11th in his most recent 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
Cummings said, “A lot of teams in the late teens and early 20s would be fawning over the chance to add Derrick Harmon. I don’t know if he makes it that far. Prospects who simultaneously have such a high floor and such a high ceiling don’t often last long. The 49ers need him badly.
“San Francisco has next to no proven utility on the defensive interior, and Harmon can be their new anchor to orbit around. At 6’4 1/2″ and 313 pounds, with over 34″ arms, he has the strength to hold strong in the run game, and he’s a violent, high-motor pass-rusher.”
