Overview
Odom is a twitchy, flexible edge who wins with get-off and bend, then finishes with active hands. He turns speed into power and already flashes a counter when the tackle oversets. The production matches the traits.
He can get washed against the run when he doesn't set a hard edge, and the frame could use more sand in the pants, but the pass-rush upside is top-of-the-draft.

Pros
- First-step + bend. Explosive get-off and the ankle flexion to flatten the corner.
- Pass-rush plan. Active, precise hands and a real counter, not just an athlete.
Development Areas
- Run defense. Can get displaced when he doesn't set a firm edge.
- Play strength. Needs to add mass to hold up on early downs.
