PLAYER ANALYSIS
Ishmael has the size of an outside receiver and shows enough quickness and route acumen to create opportunities, but his lack of long speed could hurt his case. However, Ishmael's experience in working from the slot might open a door for him as a big slot with the ability to handle work from the perimeter when needed. He's a possession receiver with good hands and underrated short-area quickness who could impress in camp even if he goes undrafted.

NFL teams may very well take a look at Stallworth's relative lack of length and mass and immediately push him down the draft pile. That could be a mistake. Stallworth has some limitations and he may not be a factor on rush downs, but he carries a compact, powerful frame and outstanding body control to fight through contact and come out on the right side. His talented handwork could give him the early upper hand in NFL camps and he has the talent to become a solid rotational 4-3 tackle with a long career.

Round 6 • Pick 22
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Extremely confident and extremely greedy as an on-ball defender, Smith was asked to play the role of island defender and did so at a high level. While he faced a lower level of competition, he possesses the size, speed, athletic ability and instincts that should be able to translate to the league. Smith has the potential to fight for either an outside or slot role, but he'll need to play with better discipline in order to avoid penalties and big plays.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Long-limbed and angular with physical traits but a lack of power at the point of attack, Young is still in the process of recovery after a devastating hip injury suffered in his bowl game in 2015. Young's tape near the end of the year was substantially better than early on and there is a chance he could round back into his old form, but Combine medicals will be essential in giving him that chance. A move from 4-3 end to a role as stand-up outside linebacker could benefit him.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Quinn's strengths and weaknesses are cliched for the position, but there is definitely talent behind the lack of explosive traits. Quinn has experience playing outside and from the slot, but will need to move inside where his strengths can be best utilized. Quinn has good ball skills and can create small catch windows for himself through route savvy and positioning, but he has athletic limitations that make team fit and quarterback fit a necessity.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Combination tight end who makes up for his thin frame with determination and effort as a blocker. Fumagalli's blocking showed improvement this year and he continued to be a consistent contributor as a pass catcher. He lacks athletic ability to consistently get open as a pass catcher, but he can poke holes in zone coverage and work himself free in play-action. Fumagalli could be targeted on day three by teams looking to add depth and competition for their two tight end sets.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Traits-based prospect with outstanding combination of size, speed, and explosiveness to make a team, but lacking in the fundamentals to contribute early on. Smith should be able to improve his route-work quickly, but improving ball skills and instincts will be a more difficult challenge for whoever takes him on the third day of the draft. Smith's traits could lead him to a role of field-stretcher with underneath routes to complement that role. He's a better athlete than receiver at this point and could take a couple of years to develop.

Steady, durable and reliable, Clapp has appealing size, but he's more likely to man his position than to help make a noticeable improvement to an offensive line.

Anderson plays an aggressive, pressing style that often creates early advantages and gives him the ability to recover when he's beaten early in the play.

Chachere is an athletic outside cornerback with average size and speed and adequate short-area quickness to match routes and challenge throws. His 2016 tape was better than 2017 so how teams weigh those two seasons will be critical. Chachere plays with good intelligence and anticipation and generally handles his job. His issues playing the deep ball mean he needs to run well to prove he has recovery potential. He could be a good value on Day 3 as he has the ability to become an NFL contributor.

Outside cornerback with solid height, weight, speed combination to entice general managers. Wade has the athletic ability to handle bump and run coverage while staying connected to routes. While he's very experienced in zone coverage, he's not nearly as aggressive in attacking the route or the football. Wade's leap in competition could be an early obstacle that will require mental toughness and resilience, but he has the size and traits that could get him drafted.

Round 6 • Pick 1
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Ratley's combination of size, athleticism, and pure speed makes him an intriguing prospect despite the fact that he managed just 47 catches over his three seasons at Texas A&M. While he has bonafide field-stretching speed, he also has the athletic ability and foot quickness to handle underneath routes as well. Ratley is raw and will need to improve his press release and routes, but his explosiveness gives him a shot at making a roster or practice squad as a late rounder or undrafted free agent.

Cornerback-turned-safety with limited speed and athletic ability, but solid football intelligence. Webb is a two-year starter who failed to post much production until this season. His play continued to improve as he got more comfortable at the position, and he may still have improvement ahead. However, he lacks the makeup speed and cover talent teams look for from free safeties and he doesn't have the size to handle work near the box. Webb would benefit from finding a zone-heavy, two-deep fit.

The self-titled "Louisiana Pimp Dog" is a four-year starter and boundary cornerback whose ball skills and instincts helped him thrive against less talented opponents. Johnson is a tough evaluation because his ball skills are so tempting, but he lacks classic click-and-close man cover traits and he may not be a clean fit as a slot cornerback. Johnson does fit off-man or zone heavy defenses, but he'll need to become a much more willing participant in run support if he wants to find playing time.

While Nichols interception numbers look good, several of the interceptions resulted in overthrows or inaccurate tosses rather than plays he made on the ball. He's a good athlete and can hang around his man in coverage, but he doesn't have a playmaker's length or instincts. Nichols is a slot corner with potential to compete for a roster spot at the back end of the roster.

Lampkin's frame and power give him a shot and could put him on the radar at multiple positions for both 3-4 and 4-3 defenses depending on defensive philosophy. He'll need to improve his hands and the consistency of his initial strike, but he's got undeniable ability to win at the point of attack if he can play with better technique and a better motor.

Round 6 • Pick 17
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Getting through Cantrell's tape is a lot of fun because his instincts, ball skills and body control are so good. He is well-versed in using his frame to create separation and needs small catch windows to do his thing. While he does have an NFL frame, his lack of quickness and speed will be hard to get past for evaluators. He lacks functional speed to back cornerbacks off and the quickness to create separation underneath. If he runs better than expected, he could hear his name called late, but back-end of the roster may be his ceiling.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Thomas is a change of pace back with plus athletic ability and agility, who can be too eager to turn every run into a big play. He will need to run with better patience and discipline to keep running back coaches from staying in his face. Thomas is able to create yardage through burst, elusiveness and yards after contact, but he lacks consistency from run to run. Thomas needs work, but he has the talent to potentially attract attention late on Day 3.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
The overall production and playing time would say that Green has very little chance of making an NFL roster, but the traits and the tape may tell another story. Green is both quick and fast and shows the ability to make sharp cuts along the interior to open doors for big plays. While he lacked total touches, he did the most with them when they came his way. His inexperience as a special teamer could hinder his roster chances, but the traits and talent are there to make things interesting in camp wherever he gets his shot.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Capable interior lineman who will likely move to the center spot due to his lack of size and length. While Welsh isn't physically weak, he doesn't have the mass and pure power to win one-on-one matchups and he is best-suited for teams who lean on inside zone running plays. Welsh's solid technique and potential to swing from center to guard in a pinch will benefit his roster chances. Welsh has decent talent, but below average physical traits which could make him a backup who has to try and protect his roster spot.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Laulile is an explosive, well-built defensive tackle who put himself back on the draft map with an impressive pro day workout that included a 4.83-second 40-yard dash (official time, but some scouts had faster times) at 301 pounds. Laulile's issues with an on-field fight and an academic suspension could hurt his draft chances, but they might not kill them. He's raw and his production certainly doesn't stand out, but his potential as a penetrating defensive tackle with the athletic ability to finish plays gives him a solid shot at becoming a practice squad player while teams get a feel for him.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Marshall doesn't have instincts, ball production or cover talent, but he's an aggressive tackler with the ability to help support the run as a box option. Marshall could be a Day 3 selection if his height, weight and speed all check out. He has the speed and demeanor of a core special teamer and could find a roster spot if he can convince a team that he can be serviceable as a backup safety.
