DRAFT TRACKER 2020

Very long, stringy cornerback with surprising strength and a competitive mindset that had quarterbacks looking for easier battles elsewhere. He looks to suffocate and contest the route from start to finish and does an excellent job of maintaining phase in the vertical plane. His cover style will draw attention from NFL game officials early on, but the athleticism and length should allow him to trust his technique. He won't give up many explosive plays through the air, but is a high-risk tackler in run support and needs to do a better job of wrapping and finishing. Dantzler can play in a variety of coverages but is a future starter as a confident press-man corner with early starting potential.

Big, bruising body mover with serious knock-back power to clear the debris from the gaps in the run game. Phillips has flown under the radar, but his tape is filled with fits of strength at the point of attack. His wide frame includes a wide power zone that prevents his edges from becoming leaky. He fits into power, gap scheme and inside zone as a run blocker, but outside zone is asking too much. He has a lack of functional range in pass sets that might require more tight end help than play-callers would care to give. Interior protection duties should come naturally and he has early starting potential with an above-average ceiling for a power-driven offense.

Gay has experience lining up in a variety of linebacker roles, but might not have the feel to play in the middle on the next level. He's hard to miss on the field with his flailing arms and energetic playing style. He's a healthy hitter once he squares and attacks ball-carriers. He lacks instincts and angles to mirror ball-carriers from the gaps to the flanks, but he does a nice job of sticking and finishing when he's in position. His play speed and athleticism appear to be average and he has some zone cover talent. Carving out a defined role will be important if he is to make an NFL roster.

Team captain and three-year starter who is short on traits and athleticism but plays with savvy and determination. He wasn't asked to do much move-blocking in Mississippi State's rushing attack and could struggle with that request as a pro, but he has upper-body power to wall and seal down-blocks and stalemate opponents as a drive-blocker. Athleticism and balance concerns could show themselves in NFL pass protection, but he does find ways to hang in and recover. He has center/guard roster flexibility and could compete for a backup role.

Edge worker with ability to beat blockers with strong hands or initial quickness, depending on the matchup. His pad level and contact balance help win inside to disrupt the B-gap. He takes on bigger blockers with sharp hand strikes before sliding away, but maulers can overwhelm him at times. His rush isn't very tools-y, but is fairly fluid and should improve once he adds to the tool belt. Rivers' issues at Georgia were documented in Season 2 of the Netflix documentary series "Last Chance U," but the reset at Mississippi State offered consistent production and play over two seasons. Look for teams to consider him as a 3-4 SAM 'backer with enough short-area athleticism to handle the transition.

Stevens has outstanding size and speed for the quarterback position but lacks the functional skill to make his living primarily as a passer. He's a dual-threat quarterback with a surprising burst for his size that pops off the screen on zone-read gallops and when escaping the pocket. He lacks the field-reading and timing needed to beat NFL defenders but could have a shot in a hybrid-athlete role where he also handles short-yardage carries and plays special teams.

Cole possesses good size and strength to compete for a role as a box safety, but his lack of experience and consistency should be a concern for NFL evaluators. He flashes traits and potential to become a more impactful run defender but gets lost in coverage and can be exploited. He has some special teams value and might be worthy of a stash spot on a practice squad.

Landrews has experience in all three safety spots, but is best-suited as a two-high safety with some man coverage potential. On the backend, he tends to trust his eyes and plays with good responsiveness to drive down on digs and deep outs. However, when forced to match up on a man, he doesn't have enough route anticipation to make up for his lack of recovery burst, putting him into chase mode too often. He carries below-average pop in his linear frame and is a grab-and-drag tackler who doesn't always inspire confidence in run support. Landrews has the physical and play traits to get his shot in a camp.

Long target with inside/outside experience who fails to get rid of man coverage with speed or route savvy often enough. Press coverage doesn't bother him very often and he does possess some vertical speed even though he's inconsistent in unleashing it. His ball-tracking and catch radius give him chances to haul in tough catches, but he has struggled to prove he can clamp down and finish catches through contact. Guidry's height, length and speed will be more appealing than the tape and might earn him a shot on a practice squad for future development.

Slightly undersized H-back with a much better chance to make a difference as a move blocker than base blocker. Green plays with below-average grit and strength at the point of attack but is athletic in space and does a nice job of finding his angles as a positional blocker. He doesn't have much experience or success at uncovering without scheme help, and his hands are below average. Green has decent speed to add yards after the catch, but he's a likely free agent who will need to bulk up and prove himself as a blocker to make it in the league.
