LT Overton’s NFL Draft Potential
LT Overton is having a career-best campaign for the Crimson Tide, and it’s coming at an opportune time for his 2026 NFL Draft stock. The former five-star recruit has 3 sacks and 5 tackles for loss in seven games — both career-highs — and recently against Missouri, he was a consistent pressure generator and play disruptor from multiple alignments.
Overton’s versatility, in particular, is a strong point of his game. At 6’2″ and over 270 pounds, with near-34″ arms, he has a rare mix of natural leverage, compact mass, and proportional length.
Those tools, combined with his explosiveness and motor on the chase, enable him to generate power and muddy offensive looks from wide alignments, head-up over the tackle, or slanting inside. Creative defensive minds who employ hybrid fronts will be first in line to add Overton to their rotation.

Overton currently holds the No. 20 overall rank among prospects, placing him among the first-round caliber prospects. His most recent Average Draft Position (ADP) of 19.6 as of October 13 reflects that he is typically being selected in the first round.
This small gap between rank and ADP suggests he’s consistently valued among evaluators, even amid fluctuations in player evaluations at this stage of the draft cycle.
Users controlling the Chicago Bears have been the team that selected Overton the most frequently over the past week, accounting for 3.2% of their picks across all seven rounds. Notably, 4.3% of the Chicago Bears’ first-round selections over that same period were used on Overton, underscoring users’ strong preference for him as a potential immediate-impact EDGE defender.
