Isaiah Land is an edge rusher who probably won’t look at that position at the next level unless he adds some significant weight to his frame. Land entered the transfer portal at the end of April for about 6 days before declaring he’d be back at Florida A&M despite fielding SEC and other big school offers. His upside is there, he has a lot of the tools you want in an edge rusher but looks capable at linebacker too. He should be considered a high value developmental guy who could sneak in at the end of the third round after testing.

Isaiah Land scouting notes

Pros:

• Very quick and fluid athlete. 
• Body control is decent. 
• Posted ridiculous numbers in 2021 as a pass rusher, registering 19 sacks and 30 hurries. Doesn’t show a lot of hand technique. Has good bend to work under blocks, balance could be better. 
• Does show the ability to enter a pass rush rep with a plan.
• Need to see how he measures up against stronger competition.

Cons:

• Poor tackler, struggles to get hands on and properly wrap up. Destroyed smaller players when he had opportunities but struggled with bigger bodies. 
• Doesn’t show a lot of ability containing an edge. 
• Struggles to recognize the play, wondering if he can be a better run defender. 
• Concerned with his motor and how he gives up on a play so often. Has to play with better discipline.
