DRAFT TRACKER 2015

Productive, steady performer in the middle with above-average size and length for the position but below-average agility. McKinney plays within the scheme and finds himself near the play frequently. He plays with strength and has an ability to take on offensive linemen and get downhill to finish his tackles. McKinney looks like an above-average NFL inside linebacker who could become part of a really good defense. He lacks star-making talent, though.

Smith has been a solid, rotational defensive end for Mississippi State, but nothing too special. When studying tape long enough, you see traits and potential. With his long arms, plus hands and ability to play the run, Smith could be an interesting prospect inside or in a hybrid 3-4 front. As a 4-3 defensive end, he lacks the twitch to be an impact player.

Has the athletic ability and motor to be effective against the run and was good enough to start for four years in the challenging SEC West. Eulls needs a great deal of improvement as a pass rusher and some of that improvement can come with better hand usage. Has the look of a competent NFL backup.

Phone-booth fighter with scheme limitations. Has strength to handle himself in a power-based scheme and is technically sound in pass protection. Ability to play center and guard gives him a decent shot of making an NFL roster.

Compact running back with squatty lower body and a short-striding style that allows him to get to his top speed quickly in the open field. Robinson appears to be lacking an NFL burst and the shiftiness needed to create more yardage for himself on the second level. He has good short-area footwork and is effective as a pass-catcher but is lacking a differentiating talent from the rest of the backs in this draft.

It isn't easy to maintain a starting position for four years in the SEC unless a player is competitive and tough. Day's competitive nature, toughness and football intelligence give him a shot, but his lack of athleticism could make it difficult for him to finish assignments consistently as a pro.

Cox used his speed to dominate at the JUCO level, but he wasn't able to post the same level of production while at Mississippi State. Cox doesn't show much anticipation in the run or passing games and doesn't have the frame or functional level of physicality teams look for from their safeties. While he is expected to post some big numbers at the combine, the tape isn't as kind to him.
