DRAFT TRACKER 2016

Slightly built short strider with effervescent personality and an endless supply of confidence, Higgins has been highly targeted and extremely productive in each of his three seasons with the Rams. Higgins showed off improved hands to go with his winning ball skills when the ball is in the air. His lack of strength and average release quickness is a concern against NFL press coverage, but the overall package is good enough to find snaps as a pro.

James moved to middle linebacker this season, but that isn't where he will be cast by NFL teams. James posted 15.5 sacks combined in 2013 and 2014 and has the flexibility and quickness that makes him an interesting edge rushing candidate. James isn't consistent enough to warrant time on an NFL field yet, but his athleticism and potential to get after the passer gives him a puncher's chance.

Tall cornerback who played with a much greater technique and understanding of his responsibilities in coverage in this year over last. While his height will get him attention, his lack of recovery speed might concern teams.

Cartwright missed his entire 2014 season due to injury issues, but came back and was relatively productive for Colorado State. His lack of mass and aggressiveness as a blocker are big strikes against him, while his stiffness when asked to venture outside of a straight line will limit his effectiveness getting open underneath.
