Domonique Orange emerged as one of Iowa State's most disruptive interior forces during his three-year tenure in Ames, developing from a raw but athletic recruit into a polished pass rusher with legitimate NFL upside. The 6-foot-3, 295-pound defensive tackle combines exceptional first-step quickness with powerful hands and a diverse rush arsenal that allowed him to accumulate 23.5 sacks over his final two seasons. Orange's draft stock has steadily climbed throughout the pre-draft process as teams have been impressed by his motor, football IQ, and scheme versatility. While questions remain about his run defense consistency and whether his college production will translate against NFL-caliber interior linemen, Orange projects as a quality starter with three-down potential in the right system.
