Ourlads' Profile:

2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about JAVON KINLAW: South Carolina, 6051 324 4.90. Three-year starter, Charleston, SC. Spent his freshman year at Jones County JC. After a childhood filled with adversity, Kinlaw molded himself from an overweight junior college hopeful to a probable first round pick. The tool set is among the best in the class at the position and there is enough tape to confirm he is much more than a blank slate with potential. Has shown the ability to take over games from the middle with his ability to create a new line of scrimmage and close in on the action with violence, power, and speed. There are several technique-based parts to his game that need work and consistency, but he is very coachable and will make a difference early even while he tries to learn the game. The physical freak of physical freaks. Cut from stone with elite length and straight line burst. Has the kind of power that creates a new line of scrimmage every time he gets his hands in the right position. Can stiff arm the strongest of blockers while maintaining low hips and forward lean. Fast and twitchy. Pursues the action well and seals the deal with violence. Swallows ball carriers with a rare wingspan and good flexibility. Has a developing arsenal of rush moves. Disappears for stretches. Has too much all-or-nothing in his game. Inconsistencies stem from techniques and over-reliance on tools. Needs to be more disciplined. Will get high and expose his chest to blockers. Tires quickly and his effort from play to play can be questioned. Doesn’t show awareness of what is transpiring next to him. Gets washed out by down blocks. Doesn’t fight through the double team as well as he should. 2019 stats: 35 T, 6 TFL, 6 sacks, 2 PBU, 4 QBH, 1 BK. No Combine workout-his choice. First round. (A- 34 7/8, H-10 1/4, BP-DNP, 10-DNP).
