With the 98th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns have selected Siaki Ika! Here's the official TDN scouting report on the defensive tackle from Baylor. NFLDraft | RatedRookie | DawgPound
Baylor defensive tackle Siaki Ika projects as a versatile nose tackle at the NFL level. “Apu” Ika is predominantly an A-gap defender with delightful mobility for his stature, allowing him to flash as both a penetration player and as a space-eater in the heart of the defense. Ika’s ceiling is that of a starting nose tackle and his valuation will likely reflect that for better and for worse.
Originally a four-star recruit from East High School in Salt Lake City, Ika committed to the LSU Tigers program and spent two years with LSU before entering the transfer portal in 2020. Ika’s decision to transfer came after rotating in with the Tigers during their 2019 National Championship campaign and the first four games of the 2020 season. He ultimately settled on Baylor and earned Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year in 2021, his first season with the Bears.
This season was a less productive campaign for Ika, who spent time as a starter but also as a rotational presence on the interior for the Bears. Ika is infrequently manning the interior on obvious passing situations, often yielding to more athletic and dynamic defensive personnel groupings in obvious passing situations.
Ika can undoubtedly serve as an NFL starter, but he’s going to need to either find more dynamic athleticism in order to warrant staying on the field on third downs or find better consistency in true anchor situations at the point of attack in order to unlock his full potential.
