DRAFT TRACKER 2019

Five-star defensive end prospect coming into Michigan who leaves with those same five-star traits and loads of potential but a lack of development in key areas. Gary is a face-up rusher who seems content to hit tackles with bull-rush attempts rather than working the edges. He's explosive out of the blocks and in closing to the quarterback, and is just waiting for hand development and additional rush moves. His size, strength and motor could make him a plus run defender in short order. He has elite potential if a defensive coordinator can harness the energy and focus his approach.

Undersized three-down linebacker with the speed and cover talent to make an easy transition to WILL linebacker as a pro. There will be NFL defenses who pass on Bush due to his lack of size, but his ability to play fast and free as an outside linebacker should supersede those concerns. He will miss some tackles and get engulfed by blockers at other times, but his play strength and ability to run and cover are extremely valuable in today's game and should not be diminished due to a tape measurement.

Physical edge defender who plays the game like he has zombie blood pumping through his veins. Winovich is relentless, determined and takes no plays off, but his lack of physical traits and explosiveness as a rusher could limit his upside. Scheme fit could determine his role as 4-3 defensive end or 3-4 rush linebacker, but his football character and physicality improve his odds for success as an eventual starter.

Death, taxes and David Long sitting under a receiver's chin waiting to jam and bully the release - all three are inevitable. He lacks height, length and makeup burst, but it is hard to find tape where those areas came back to haunt him very often. He's patient from press, stays connected to routes underneath, but may have to adjust to off-man and prove he can withstand vertical challenges against taller targets. He's not as long, loose or fast as teams like, but he's a consistent cover man with the talent to find reps early in his career.

"What you see is what you get" running back with good vision and consistent physicality in his approach. Higdon is a one-cut runner who is a little undersized relative to his physical running style. He uses his vision and lane choices to avoid congested areas, but lacks the elusiveness to slip many open field tackles. He's a willing blocking option on third downs, but hasn't proven to be much of a threat out of the backfield and is likely to be pegged as an early-down backup with the toughness to handle spot starting duties if needed.

Well-built, twitched-up safety with plus speed, but a lack of coverage instincts that limit his ability to make plays on the ball. While Kinnel's athletic ability allowed Michigan to line him up over the slot, he simply wasn't consistent enough to project success in that area as a pro. However, his body type combined with his urgency in run support give him a chance to snag a back-end roster spot as a box worker with special teams duties.

Watson's tape was rock-solid for much of the year filled with feisty man coverage and an ability to stay near the route. However, his dreadful game against Ohio State could have general manager's backing away from him somewhat. Watson's play strength and short-area anticipation combined with his lack of makeup speed and length could push him towards a shot with a Cover-2 team if he can shine on special teams first.

Squatty nose tackle with big lower body but unable to grow his roots and own the grass as a run-plugger up the middle. Mone plays hard and his low center of gravity and quality pad level help him play with necessary leverage, but his lack of length and inability to control the man across from him should make him an undrafted free agent and limits his NFL opportunities.

With his size and background at Michigan, teams might be tempted to play him as a combination tight end with run-blocking duties, but he's much better-suited in space than in the trenches. Gentry runs pretty well and moves fluidly as a route-runner, but his hands and focus can be maddening. He showed flashes of what he could do with a more capable quarterback last year, but his disappointing workouts and testing might have pushed back and out of the draft.

Big-body tackle with knock-knees who lacks desired athletic ability, but possesses interesting power to grind in the running game. Bushnell-Beatty has a shot at competing for a roster spot or practice squad position, but his physical deficiencies are limiting in both the run and pass game and could be difficult to work around as a pro.
