Round 5 • Pick 4
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Griffin's physical limitation should be discussed as it pertains to areas like tackle disengagement and consistency of finishing, but his instincts, play speed and technique have all been major factors in helping him thrive at his position. His upfield burst as an edge blitzer and his range as a tackler are two strengths that NFL teams could capitalize on. Griffin could hear his name on day three of the draft, but if not, his competitive spirit and playmaking talent give him a shot to make a roster at some point in his career.

Round 5 • Pick 17
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Intriguing prospect with good size and physicality who is just learning to play cornerback. Neal has limitations in coverage but may factor as a bump and run specialist. Neal lacks the ball production and instincts of a high safety, but he has the toughness to play near the line of scrimmage and the cover talent to match up against tight ends. Neal's position fit could depend on scheme as well as how he ends up running. He has NFL traits and could become a productive backup or eventual starter.

One-and-done blocker with serious power to jolt defenders in his initial punch, but an inability to sustain blocks and ride them out. Phillips may be evaluated as a guard, but he might be better-suited as a center where his power and field awareness can stand out and his struggles with sustaining blocks may be minimized somewhat.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Roberts is faster and more athletic than many of the safeties in this draft, but he's also smaller. Roberts plays with the aggression and toughness of a bigger safety, but he may not have enough bulk to be deployed near the line in the pros as often as he was as a senior at Auburn. Roberts played for three defensive coordinators and four defensive backs coaches in college so continuity should continue to bolster his growth. Roberts draft slotting will likely be hurt by his lack of desired safety size, but he has the talent to battle for a spot in sub-package roles at some point.

Round 4 • Pick 21
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Johnson's lack of size will drive him into a nickel role where he appears to have the foot quickness and cover talent to handle the job. He has to prove that he can play with confidence in his technique rather than grabbing during the route and his draft stock could be hinging on his 40-yard dash time at the Combine. He could find an early role as a CB4 before eventually filling the nickel spot.

Press corner with long arms and disruptive qualities but lacking in foot quickness and makeup speed. McFadden put together a highlight reel of impressive interceptions with NFL-caliber ball skills, but his ball production dropped sharply this year. On top of that, his 4.68 forty at the Combine seemed to prove what the tape showed regarding his long speed or lack thereof. McFadden has cover talent, but may be forced into a zone scheme to cover up for his speed concerns. McFadden will need to tighten up his coverage technique and become a much better tackler in order to find meaningful snaps as a pro.

Hearn will flash some initial power, but his inability to finish means the best teams can hope for might be neutralizing his opponent from time to time. He's got enough size and strength to compete for a backup roster spot, but his roster spot might be tenuous over the long haul.

Parris is a good looking physical specimen with thick arms and weight distributed properly throughout his frame. While he has a tendency to lose his knee bend and overall pad level too often, it's hard to ignore his impressive foot quickness in his pass sets. Even with those pretty feet, his delayed punch and propensity to play too far out over his toes could cause a balance issue that could be tough to correct. Parris is a developmental prospect with medical concerns that could cause him to drop some, but he has the potential to move inside and become a solid backup guard with eventual starter ability if healthy.

Brown is a physical nickel cornerback with a major in run support and a minor in special teams cover talent. Brown has too much tightness in his lower half to match routes and make plays on the ball, but his ability to support the run could lead teams to beef him up and try him at a hybrid linebacker role in sub-packages. Brown is going to run well at the Combine and should be drafted on the third day for his special teams talent alone.

Safety with long, slender build who has good linear speed, but could struggle as an open field tackler and when isolated in deep coverage. Walker's long arms and explosion numbers in testing will be very intriguing to teams who covet measurables and traits from their defensive backs. His size and body type could put him in line for a test run as bump-and-run corner for teams with a rangy free safety over the top.

Matthews was kicked out of Georgia during his freshman season year double dipping into scholarship stipends, but scouts say he has matured and grown at Auburn.

Henderson's tape from 2016 pops way more than what he put together in 2017. His struggles to tackle consistently and handle his duties in deep coverage lead to too many big plays he didnt have the recovery speed to make up for mistakes. Henderson plays with an aggressive demeanor and has hit moments as a striker, but his inability to perform the consistent duties required of the position could make it hard to land on a roster.

When teams scout prospects from small schools, they are looking for plus physical and athletic traits and they are looking for them to dominate their level of competition. Sieler whipped the competition in front of him on a regular basis and his traits are right in line with the NFL average for his position. Sieler played 4-3 defensive end and would bump inside as a rusher, but his playing style and size scream old-school, 3-4 defensive end. Sieler needs to prove that his production can translate at a reasonable level as a pro, but he has the size and ability to become a legitimate player in the league.

Aruna's height, weight, length and athleticism are almost sure to get him targeted by teams looking to mine a diamond from his traits. He appears to be a ways away from becoming a factor on the pro level, but he did show interesting flashes as a 3-4 end this season. Aruna flashes as a rusher, but may not have the ability to get after the quarterback as often as teams would like from a traits-based prospect. Aruna is a developmental prospect, but after putting together a huge combine, he will be drafted early than where the tape would dictate.

Nichols is a defensive tackle with decent athletic ability despite playing as stiff-legged as he does.

He needs to play with better bend to improve his leverage, but he has an opportunity to become an backup in the league.

Facyson has terrific size and length and has tape in his background that shows off his disruptive play when his coverage is good. He struggles to stay in phase with complex routes and needs help over the top against speed. Facyson is scheme dependent and may need to be paired with a team looking for a press-and-trial or cover-two cornerback. Facyson's size could push him up the draft board by a round and he has a chance to become an eventual starter if he lands with the right fit.

Martin is a tough, smart edge defender with the willingness to do whatever is asked of him. Despite playing at under 240 pounds, Martin has lined up as a defensive end and rushed from a nose-guard spot in some sub-package situations. He's undersized to be a full-time 3-4 outside linebacker on run downs, but he's got the upfield speed to warrant consideration as a sub-package rusher. Martin's size and testing numbers are close enough to former teammate's, Haason Reddick, that he might be able to transition into a role as a backup inside linebacker.

It's easy to love Joseph's combination of size, speed and interceptions, but his transition from Division III to the NFL will likely have its fair share of bumps along the way. Joseph has been able to overwhelm the competition across from him with his length and athletic ability, but he's light by NFL standards and his man cover skills will need work before he's ready to handle NFL talent. Joseph has talent to work with, but he may have to learn from the sideline or even the practice squad early on.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Dangerous return specialist who offers potential value as a gadget slot. Henderson's lack of hesitation and his ability to get to top speed quickly and stay there is what gives him a shot at having early success as both a punt and kick returner. While Henderson could have an NFL career as a return man only, he has enough potential to warrant a roster spot as both a return man and a slot for teams looking for a playmaker.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Meeks is a technically sound outside cornerback with good size and strength who will have to be protected by scheme and safety help. He understands how to play the position, but his lack of acceleration and makeup speed is a big concern. While Meeks has the size to disrupt from press, he's unable to stay hip-to-hip on go routes and lacks desired closing burst for on-ball opportunities from off-man. Meeks has the instincts and tackling to make the move to safety if need be.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Cobbs' size and body control down the field will be enticing to teams, but he doesn't separate and he lacks general quickness. Cobbs toggles between bad drops and great catches and needs to find more stability as a pass catcher since he'll have to make a living handling contested catch situations. Cobbs may need scheme help to get off the line against big, press corners and looks unlikely to become a heavily targeted receiver as a pro. His 40-yard dash time at the Combine will be crucial for his draft stock.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Moore has great football intelligence and is highly instinctive which has lead to impressive productivity in each of his four years at South Carolina. However, he lacks size for the inside and strong-side linebacker spots and the athleticism and man cover skills for the weak-side spot. Moore's limitations would doom most prospects, but his consistent production in the SEC could foreshadow an ability to find a role as an NFL backup if his medicals pan out.
