Pros

  • Powerful and heavy frame that could add more weight depending on defensive role.

  • Good arm length and upper body strength to handle offensive lineman in the trenches.
 
  • Powerful punch out of stance can uproot lineman for a potential bull rush.
 
  • Heavy handed swim move opens up great opportunities in the interior as a pass rusher. 
 
  • Bull rush can make quick work of offensive lineman, especially against guards that he can outreach.
 
  • One of the best hand fighters in the draft with violent clubs, swipes, punches to keep lineman out of chest pads and maintain separation.
​
  • Good awareness of the quarterback in the pocket when rushing from the interior, allowing him to pinball his way at times into sacks and TFL's.
 
  • Great uptick in forced fumbles tells me he become consistent about attacking the football.
 
  • Utilizes an inside spin move on slower offensive lineman to quickly penetrate the backfield.
​
  • Ridiculous power in his lower half creates tremendous anchor and leg drive.
 
  • Immovable object on the edge when he plants his feet, bouncing many runs outside and allowing fellow defenders to play cleanup.
​
  • Gets his hands in the air when rush fails and can swat passes down at the line.
 
  • Nasty style play helps him force separation from blockers in run defense.
 
  • When he gets his pads low, he be a menace to move in short yardage which is evident on tape.
 
  • Snakes his way through cracks in the trenches to make short yardage stops.
 
  • Strong hands help him one-arm tackle ball carriers.
 
  • A constant and capable leader for a defense that had three different coaches during his time at Auburn.
 
  • Exceptional work ethic on and off the field to better his game as well as willingness to do the grunt work on defense.
 
  • High football IQ is evident in his versatility on the field showing capabilities as a three down defensive lineman in the NFL. 

Cons

  • Mostly power based pass rusher.

  • Lacks the flexibility needed to bend the edge.
 
  • Strictly a hand in the dirt edge presence.
 
  • Average explosiveness off the line limits ability to finesse his way around offensive tackles.
 
  • Pad level needs improvement.
 
  • Quicker than fast on tape which evident when pursuing ball careers.
 
  • Versatility may have hurt his ability to play a true position.
 
  •   Most of his production in college came from the interior and may need to switch to defensive tackle full-time in the NFL.
 
  • Double teams have been the death of him in the run game.
 
  • Not fast enough as a twister.

Overview

Colby Wooden was the forgotten man at times on a formidable Auburn defense as his willingness to take on blockers and open up blitzing lanes for linebackers helped create some moderate consistency. Wooden power-based style of play helped give Auburn one of the better short yardage defenses in the country with his nastiness in the interior as well as brute strength on the edge. He's very limited on the edge as a pass rusher but has potential on pass downs to be a reliable 3-tech defensive tackle while also being capable of being moved outside in run defense. His work is tremendous and his ability to do the little thing very well is what teams are looking for a defensive end like him. For team in need of versatile defender that says yes to every job given to him with a smile on his face should have him high on their board and the team that drafts him could have the keystone presence up front that allows the good players around him to become great.
