Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Rashad Weaver
Summary

Wesley Bailey was a three-year starter at Rutgers before transferring to Louisville last fall, where he took a step forward as a pass rusher with a career-high 44 pressures. He has the frame you look for on the edge along with the ability to bend and flatten to the quarterback. To carve out a role at the next level, he’ll need to continue developing his pass-rush plan and add more functional power.

About
  • 2025: Set career highs in tackles (39), TFL (7.0) and sacks (6.0)
  • Career: Spent first four seasons at Rutgers before transferring to Louisville
Strengths
  • Dips around the edge of blocks with ease.
  • Active hands, consistently working to free himself.
  • Versatility to kick inside as a pass rusher.
Weaknesses
  • Power rushes tend to stall before reaching the quarterback.
  • Has not consistently made an impact against the run.
