02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Eddie Vanderdoes is a classic 4-3 one-gap penetrating tackle, with the ability to penetrate from the 3-tech or 2-gapping from another spot along the line.

Best role

As a rookie, Eddie Vanderdoes can contribute as a rotational 3-technique or 1-technique in a 4-3 defense, with the potential to develop into a full-time starter due to his explosive first step.

Wrong fit

He would be a poor fit for a two-gapping 3-4 front that relies on larger, more stationary linemen.

Vanderdoes's explosive first step and powerful frame make him an excellent fit for a penetrating 4-3 defensive line, though questions about his motor persist.

04The evaluation

Selected #88 overall in Round 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Oakland Raiders out of UCLA.
