He 'likely' will earn his own thread at some point so jumping the gun a bit early.
The other defensive rookie who will go in the top-ten is LB/S/? Isaiah Simmons who blew up the Combine.

Simmons a game-wrecker, this time should solidify him as a top-5 pick. Talk in Indy was #Giants are targeting him if they stay at No. 4: https://nj.com/giants/2020/02/dave-gettleman-on-a-mission-to-fix-linebackers-is-position-the-giants-top-priority.html

He has a chance to post huge IDP numbers.Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons wowed scouts Saturday night at the NFL Scouting Combine, running an official time of 4.39 in the 40-yard dash.
He declined to run a second time.
Simmons’ time was just off the combine record for a linebacker set by Shaquem Griffin two years ago with a 4.38 clocking.
Simmons weighed 238 pounds, had a 39-inch vertical and an 11-foot broad jump.
He played every position in the Clemson defense except nose tackle and the 3-technique. Simmons’ best fit in the NFL could be at weakside linebacker.
“I think it’s really beneficial for me [to have played so many positions],” Simmons said. “I know years ago it wasn’t good to be a position-less guy. But now it’s become a benefit for me just because of all the versatility I’ll be able to do — play linebacker, play safety, whatever it is, I feel like it just helps me out.
“When it comes down to it, I’m going to try with my best ability to do everything I can.”
