Darius Stills comes from a football family and has a productive college career backing him, but he is too small to play nose tackle, his college position, at the next level. He is something of a finesse defensive tackle who did not play in an NFL-style defense, which hurts his evaluation before his frame even comes into question.
He has some athletic traits that are uncoachable, but the question becomes: Can he grow enough to play 3-technique at a rotational level in the NFL? At sub-280 pounds, Stills will probably not be NFL ready in Week 1 of the season, starting the year as a healthy scratch or on a practice squad. He should be viewed as a developmental prospect with some upside, but one who has to earn a roster spot with his play in the preseason and in camp.

As the Warriors try to figure out their identity after ugly losses to the Knicks and Jazz, their fans might want to do some thorough research on the Timberwolves.
The struggles of Minnesota, which plays Golden State at Chase Center on Monday and Wednesday, could go a long way in bolstering the Warriors’ odds of returning to contention. If the Timberwolves owners of the league’s second-worst record through Saturday at 4-11 finish anywhere outside the top three in the 2021 lottery, Golden State will have the privilege of picking a high-level prospect in the most loaded draft in recent memory.
