What the analysts are saying

• "Athletic defensive tackle with the speed and quickness to make impact plays, but the lack of core strength to give up big plays against the run. McIntosh has developmental potential to work with and should take a big step forward once he learns to work his hands as a pass rusher." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "There are some team sources that really like McIntosh and think he's one of the only pure three-techniques in the 2018 NFL Draft. Some teams see him as a second-rounder while others have him in the third or fourth round, so there is a lot of variety in the grades of McIntosh." - Charlie Campbell, Walter Football
