DRAFT TRACKER 2016

It wasn't long ago scouts were beating up former Texas A&M tackle Cedric Ogbuehi about a disappointing season before he went 21st overall in the draft even with a torn ACL. NFL scouts see Ifedi as a guard, but a team may decide to try him at tackle before moving him inside. Ifedi has the tools and traits to become a good NFL offensive linemen if he can avoid the leaning and lunging that plagues him. A move inside combined with NFL coaching could unlock Ifedi's high ceiling.

Draftable punter with the leg strength to dig his team out of a field position hole and the touch to be effective once he hits midfield.

Williams began his transition from running back to cornerback in fall camp so any draft grades that NFL teams give him will be based purely on projection. The tape was often unkind to Williams who had to face off against SEC competition with nothing more than athleticism and guile. NFL teams will look at the traits and see a player who fits the mold and who should improve with more coaching. Williams could be drafted substantially higher than my grade based on traits, but there is no guarantee he will progress quickly enough to stick long-term.

Carson doesn't possess the skill level necessary to be a starter or even part of a combination of backs to lead the charge for a team, but his toughness and ability to grind it out in short yardage gives him some value. With his hands and blocking, Carson has immediate third down potential and his ability to shine on special teams only strengthens his chance to be drafted and make a 53-man roster.

Intelligent and instinctive, Harris has been a rock­-steady contributor for the Texas A&M defense from the moment he stepped on campus. With a rail-­thin frame and an inability to consistently tackle, Harris needs a big combine to improve his opportunity to hear his name called during the draft.

Cheek is built like a tackle, but played guard at Texas A&M thanks in large part to the outstanding tackle talent that has come through the program. Cheek's lack of play strength could limit his draft prospects as a guard, but his stock could be helped out quite a bit if teams work him out as a tackle and like what they see.
