DRAFT TRACKER 2016

Amidst turbulent offensive times at South Carolina, Cooper has been a rock with consistent production in all areas of the field. While I see Cooper as slightly limited as a pro due to his reliance on straight-line acceleration and scheme fit, NFL personnel men seem to love his playmaking ability and competitive nature.

Tall and lanky for a tight end, Adams actually has better play strength than the eye­ test might indicate. Adams doesn't have the surest hands in this draft, but he is unique in that he can challenge defenses down the field and shows the potential to be helpful as a run blocker. Adams should come in as a quality backup with an "eventual starter" tag tied to him.

Shell doesn’t have the feet to play left tackle and doesn’t bend well enough to generate consistent leverage and push as a guard inside. With that said, he has size and length and a four-year starting history in a challenging conference. Add everything up, and Shell looks to be a third day selection as a right tackle only. He may be an eventual starter, but is better­ suited as a backup.

Provided decent production during his run at South Carolina, but he never became the go­-to chain mover that South Carolina hoped he might become. Wilds runs hard and will usually get what’s blocked, but he's lacking the creativity or athleticism to transcend his South Carolina tape.

Big, two-gap nose tackle with the ability to handle double teams, but still enough athleticism to pursue plays down the line. Dixon doesn’t play with the every-down fire and intensity that he needs to, which is why his production has been lean. His size and strength should get him a look in an NFL camp.
