DRAFT TRACKER 2019

Big, explosive talent with projectable upside to become a home-run threat as a WR1. Teams seek out pass-catchers with rare height, weight and speed dimensions and Metcalf has those for days. While he has the talent to become a full-field threat, Metcalf is still an unpolished gem who was the second-best receiver on his college team. Until his skill-set is more developed, he could begin his career as a hit-or-miss long-ball threat. However, once it clicks, defenses could struggle to find solutions for him.

Slot bully with rare combination of brawn and quickness that allows him to separate with both power and foot quickness. Brown has the size and demeanor to take on a relatively heavy workload as a safety blanket for a young quarterback in a ball-control passing attack. He'll see an upgrade in athlete across from him, but he has the feet and body control to uncover and create windows as a premium route-runner.

Little possesses the important combination of size, length and quickness as a prototypical left tackle prospect. While he wasn't asked to do it much in 2018, he has the athletic ability to handle zone-blocking duties, which could suit his skill-set more than a physical rush attack. Little is a natural bender with good feet and pepper in his punch as blind-side protector, but his average anchor and inconsistent body control create some concern. He will be an early starter at left tackle, but needs to improve his strength and eliminate his tendency to lean in order to reach the potential his physical and athletic traits offer.

Outstanding combination of measurables and traits, but he's much more moldable clay than game-ready prospect at this point. Knox lacks early speed and short-area quickness which could limit his ability to uncover underneath but he's much more dangerous when allowed to roam the middle of the field as a more linear route-worker. His pass-catching production may never matchup with the testing numbers, but his aggressiveness and talent as a run-blocker could provide him work as a combo tight end for years to come.

Lodge's size and ability to compete for 50-50 balls are enticing, but inconsistent hands and issues uncovering against long press corners cannot be ignored. His body type and playing style are better suited for more layered, vertical passing concepts than what he saw at Ole Miss. All elements of his game will need work before he can become a factor as a pro, and scheme could matter for him.

Athletic and fluid in space, but more adequate than "plus" or "minus" in most categories. He has starting experience at all three interior line positions, but will likely be graded as a center by most teams due to his lack of length and power. He needs to meet slants and swim moves with his feet rather than his chest once he gets into the league. Patterson's body control and foot quickness could make him a Day 3 target for teams looking to add interior competition in a move-based rushing attack.

Ultimately, Ta'amu just doesn't play chess well enough against defensive coordinators who are able to slow his processing with disguised blitzes and multiple coverages. He's tough enough and has the arm talent, but will need to learn to stay a step ahead of defenses since many of his inconsistencies stem from playing a rushed brand of football.

Part-time outside cornerback who has failed to live up to expectations after a fast start at Ole Miss. Webster is compact and strong and shows some talent as a run defender, but he lacks juice as man cover corner and is too inconsistent from press. His best opportunity might be to re-brand as a run-support nickel cornerback or dime linebacker on the next level.

Three-year starter with decent size but too far below the threshold with his athletic movements, instincts and recovery speed. Woods is a willing combatant when playing near the line of scrimmage, but he's simply not talented enough in coverage and lacking in instincts to play over the top. To make a roster, he will need to shine on special teams and play lights out as a tackler in the box.
