Executive Summary

David Gusta projects as an undrafted free agent priority with potential to develop as a rotational interior defensive lineman in a 3-4 front or gap-control scheme. He possesses adequate size and functional strength to anchor against the run, but lacks the athletic explosiveness or pass-rush moves to project as an early-round contributor. Teams seeking depth at DL with patience for developmental trajectory should monitor his pro day metrics and training camp performance.

⚠ Risk Factors

The composite grade of 57/99 reflects significant athletic limitations that may prevent him from carving a consistent role in the NFL, particularly if schematic fit is poor. Competition level at Kentucky and lack of standout tape against premium offensive linemen raise questions about whether his tape will translate to Power Five conference caliber in the pros.
