DRAFT TRACKER 2016

Rhythm runner who has experience in a pro­-style running game and who gets better with the more carries he has. Booker is a three-down running back who has the toughness and determination to grind out short yardage while possessing the vision and footwork to create for himself when near the line of scrimmage or the second level. Booker isn’t fast, but he plays at a consistent speed and should have enough quickness to be consistently productive as an NFL starting running back.

Norris isn't a plus athlete, but he has enough athleticism within the context of what he has to do on the field. His instincts help to guide him around the field, but he doesn’t have the technique or speed to be a high­-end playmaker. Norris looks the part of a backup WILL inside linebacker in a 3­-4 who has the potential to become an average starter down the road.

Will be 24 years old when NFL training camps begin and appears to be a player without a go­-to play strength or an obvious NFL position. Fanaika doesn’t have the twitch or overall talent to be a dangerous NFL pass rusher, but he has some power at the point of attack and might be able to make a team looking for a strong base end who can set the edge. Regardless, it may be in his best interest to slim down to where he was in 2014 when he was more disruptive.

The scouting community is very concerned with Paul, and he is expected to measure much smaller than his listed size. However, as a pure football player, Paul has outstanding instincts, finds the best path to the football and can be effective against the run or pass. While he may be too small to play inside, his talent should find a roster spot for him at some point.

The individual pieces are more intriguing than the sum of those parts at this time. Carter is a terrific tackler who combines attitude and technique for memorable finishes. His cover skills and technique are a bit of a mess as a safety, but he’s still raw and moldable. Carter tackles like a linebacker and could be considered as a box-­only safety with potential to move to linebacker if he can add good weight.

Amongst the influx of Australian kickers into college football, Hackett is the lead dog. Hackett is competitive and confident and has shown the potential to succeed as a base punter, but his combine performance will be extremely important in his attempt to convince NFL general managers and special teams coaches that he can transition away from the rugby style with success.
