DRAFT TRACKER 2018

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.

Matthews has good size and has proven to be fairly effective in his duties in run support. 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. He looks a little tight in his man coverage responsibilities despite his impressive athletic testing. Matthews' size, leadership and toughness give him a chance to compete for a combo safety role in the league.
