DRAFT TRACKER 2018

Vea's tape can frustrating because he flashes star potential one series and then looks average the next. With that said, he's still very raw and should be judged by his ability rather than just his results as he should unlock his potential with more coaching. Vea has the size and power to play nose in an odd or even front and he could be targeted by 3-4 teams looking for dominant run defender on the end. He should work into a defensive line rotation immediately and has the ability to become a good NFL starter for years.

Solid secondary receiving option who has spent time on his craft and has the ability to attack and uncover on all three levels. Pettis lacks physicality and could struggle to handle in-your-face press corners, so he may see snaps from the slot. While his punt return talent solidifies his draft standing, his ability as route-runner combined with his smooth pass-catching should give him a long, solid career.

Inexperienced but improving, Dissly is a Y-tight end prospect who has the potential to become a much more productive and effective player than where he stands right now. Dissly has decent size and is nothing special as an athlete, but he displays the toughness and talent to become an NFL blocker as a Day 3 selection.

Shelton fits the average height/weight profile for the position, but his lack of desired play strength and overall anchor is a concern. Shelton's technique is solid and his initial quickness is good enough, but he needs to do a better job of gaining and maintaining positioning if he wants to find a way to cover up for his lack of necessary power and land NFL playing time.

It's been all downhill for Victor since breaking his leg with four games to go in 2016. He was overweight and ineffective for most of the season and looked like he was in cruise control before losing his job. He does have some quality tape in his background and he's a physical player, but will a team be willing to overlook his off-season weight gain and off-the-field behavior including a November DUI? Victor needs a strong postseason to rehabilitate his draft stock.

Bierria is a smart, try-hard linebacker with a solid resume from a successful program, but he lacks the athletic traits and playmaking talent that teams covet from early round linebackers. Bierria's work ethic and leadership are plusses in his favor, but he may end up as a career backup inside linebacker who will need to perform well on special teams to secure his roster spot.

Coleman lacks dynamic tape from the 2017 season, but there might be a team who believes that he can get back to his 2016 form where he showed some ability to create for himself with elusiveness. Coleman's plus size and his ability to cover on special teams could give him an extra bump, but his inability to break tackles and move the pile could make finding a roster spot a challenge.
