NEEDS ANALYSIS
As visions of Kyler Murray dance in their heads, the biggest needs haven't really changed here since the end of the season. There's plenty of work to do on an offensive line that ranked dead last in the league last season, per Pro Football Focus, and whether Murray or Josh Rosen is under center next season, the Cardinals' QB1 will need an improved collection of pass catchers.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Severely undersized, one-year starter with rare playmaking talent that could force general managers to reassess long-held notions about size and style for a franchise quarterback. Murray is like a complex burgundy with notes of Baker Mayfield, Johnny Manziel and Russell Wilson in his play, but like any quarterback, he'll need to prove he can recognize disguised coverages and work on-time from the pocket to go from flash talent to playoff winner. Teams drafting him need to have the right coordinator and must be committed to framing their offense specifically to Murray's strengths and weaknesses, which could require additional roster re-configuration. Murray is an electric talent with a live arm, good mental makeup and the skill-set to produce at a high level in the right offense.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Ball-hawking man corner who makes up for a lack of physical tools with outstanding instincts, toughness, and short-area quickness. Murphy's ball production per target is as good as you will find thanks to an innate ability to process the quarterback and route development simultaneously. His long speed is below average and will panic and start grabbing when he ends up in an unexpected trail position. His short-area twitch and run support toughness could make him an early target for teams looking for help at the nickel.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Competitive, well-rounded receiver possessing both elite quickness and long speed to go with solid play strength. Isabella has the feet and fakes to uncover in a hallway closet, and the former high school sprint champion proved to Georgia that his ability to win deep should not be underestimated. Isabella could become a menace on option routes with the ability to add vertical routes from the slot, but he must improve his pass-catching consistency and smoothness into his breaks in order to transition all that speed to the NFL.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Hard-charging defensive end who calls on initial quickness, play strength and outstanding instincts to counter his lack of length and athleticism. Allen's toughness and ability to diagnose quickly could allow him to play early as a run defender, but limitations as a rusher could push him inside on passing downs. He has average starter's potential and could be in consideration by odd or even fronts at defensive end.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Big long-strider with exceptional length and good build-up speed to challenge cover corners and safeties down the field. Butler's unique play strength after the catch allows him to win contested deep balls and then plow through tackle attempts to create chunk plays and long touchdowns. His routes are basic and clunky and will limit how teams can use him. A greater concern will be those inconsistent hands that could turn quarterbacks against him unless he improves them. He's a work in progress, but the traits and potential are worth taking a shot.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Talented high-safety prospect with good range and ball skills who will experience occasional bumps in the road as he grows into a finished product. Thompson plays with desired levels of explosiveness and chance-taking in his coverage, but inconsistencies against Oklahoma and Clemson show that he may not be ready to step right in as a pro. He will be parked on the back-end and may need to pick and choose his spots as a hitter due to his frame. His traits and talent could make him an early starter.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Decorated four-year starter whose production surpassed that of former Bulldog and current Green Bay Packer Davante Adams. Scouts worry about Johnson's speed and "inflated" production based upon the way he was used, but his ability to win jump balls with athletic ability and contested catches underneath with positioning and hand strength is what helps him stand out. He might lack timed speed, but he's smooth and natural in the way he operates and could surprise if he tightens up his routes.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Three-year starter and team captain whose tenacity and dirt-dog mentality typifies the Georgia offensive line over the last couple of years. Gaillard's play is not without technique, but when the rep gets sideways on him, he will turn it into a proverbial fist-fight to try and hang on and get his job done. He's better down the middle than laterally and may be best suited in a power-based run scheme. It's not going to always look pretty, but his tape against Alabama shows that he's capable of becoming an eventual starter sometime soon.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Developmental guard prospect with swing tackle potential possessing elite traits and potentially coachable faults. Miles' issues are plenty on tape, but they are unrelated to physical or athletic limitations. With just a few days of coaching at the Shrine Game practices, he started to show growth. His lack of instincts are a concern and there is no guarantee his hands and footwork will get corrected, but he has the traits and athletic ability to warrant a Day 3 "lottery scratch-off" selection as a potential low-risk, high-yield pick

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Interior rush specialist who combines quick, strong hands and lateral quickness to generate consistent pocket heat. Dogbe is an athletic rusher with a diverse rush approach which should play in his favor, but he may not be impactful enough against the run to rise beyond a backup level player with sub-rush potential. Teams could see Dogbe as a 4-3 base end or a 3-4 rush end depending on their scheme.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
A productive junior season likely tilted his decision to come out early, but Wilson is still in the developmental phase and will need additional weight work and practice time before he is NFL-ready. Wilson is a pass-catching tight end only, but his ball skills are currently below par. His lower-body tightness will limit his effectiveness underneath, but he proved at the combine he has speed as a second- and third-level target. Wilson could rate as a back-end backup.
