Dynasty Rookie Draft Profile: Siaki Ika
Siaki Ika Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook
Ika is enormous and tends to line up over the center and at his size 1 (6’3″, 350) he can absolutely eat up defenders and make the center’s day a nightmare. Unfortunately, he isn’t going to put up great numbers as a fantasy contributor unless he gets coached up or drafted by a 4-3 style team because right now he seems like a space-eating 3-4 type of NT that will free up space for players behind him or on the edge.

Siaki Ika 2023 NFL Draft Outlook
Ika has pretty much the game you’d expect from a player with his size; combines overwhelming power with an impressive level of activity. Ika regularly turns single opponents into blocking sleds with his bull rush and is able to hold the point of attack in the run game, whether against one or two opponents. He is actually a little bit more effective on passing downs than is typical for a massive nose tackle, which could let him stay on the field on some passing downs at the pro level. He has first-round talent but it wouldn’t come as a surprise if he slipped into the second round.

Projection: Round 1-2
