Quincy Rhodes Jr. — 2027 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Long-armed, big and strong, Rhodes would be another tool to tinker with Mike Macdonald's high octane defensive engine.

Rhodes offers a rare physical profile, combining massive size with the athleticism to serve as a versatile chess piece across the defensive front. He is immovable at the point of attack and generates significant power as a pass rusher.

Rhodes is a big-bodied base defensive end at 6-foot-6, 275 pounds. Many evaluators thought he would declare for this past draft, as he received Day 2 grades from multiple scouts. He primarily plays 5-technique but is a classic tweener who is capable of two-gapping in a three-down defensive front. While he had eight sacks last season, Rhodes needs to be less prone to volatile highs and lows. The Chiefs took R Mason Thomas in the second round last week, and Rhodes could be a complement to Thomas' speed as Kansas City addresses its future defensive line.
