DRAFT TRACKER 2019

Three-year starter who proved he could bring his instincts and ball skills with him from cornerback to safety in 2018. Thornhill's size and cover talent should allow defensive coordinators the freedom to deploy him around the field in a variety of ways depending on the matchups and his running mate at safety. While he could garner consideration as a corner, safety gives him his best opportunity to become an early starter.

Explosive slot target with poor hands, but an impressive ability to take short throws and turn them into big gains. Zaccheaus played inside and outside, but can operate as a gadget slot with jet sweeps, receiver screens and standard wide receiver work. Teams are going to be turned off by his unnatural hands, but his explosiveness out of breaks and short area burst with the ball in his hands need to be accounted for. The scope of his usage could be a little limited, but there is talent to work with in the right scheme.

While it will be easy to get behind his size and power as a runner, it is more difficult to project him into a role that requires patience, vision and athleticism. The Virginia offense asked him to pound the rock with urgency, and maybe he would benefit from a different scheme, but his segmented lateral movement and inability to feel run lane development are fundamental concerns in a projection into the pro game. His ability to create yardage through power gives him a roster shot as a potential priority free agent.

Harris has rare size, speed and explosiveness traits that could make him a coveted priority free agent, but his injury history, modest ball production and inability to match play to the traits are likely to leave him undrafted. There are physical check marks in his favor, but he will need to play a much more instinctive brand of football to cover NFL receivers.
