Round 2 • Pick 6
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Ascending 4-3 defensive end who should go from good size to imposing frame as he fills out his power-forward body type. He isn't overly twitchy but impressive length, fluidity and short-area athleticism allow him consistent work-arounds against opposing blockers. He's average at the point of attack by NFL standards, but that should change with additional strength work and more efficient hand usage. The rush toolbox is only halfway full, but it's just a matter of time before his spin move and a speed-to-power charge become part of a diversified attack. Gross-Matos should be an early starter, but when the power and skill catch up with the athleticism, look for him to become one of the more productive defenders in the league.

Round 2 • Pick 14
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Explosive slot target who hits the scales as a lightweight but could have heavyweight impact on games. Hamler's blazing speed is used solo and in route combinations to stress secondaries and create big plays. He had an alarming number of drops in 2019 and the routes are ragged, but his athleticism and separation burst on all three levels helps mitigate those concerns. He's a smallish slot who isn't built for the tough yardage and could have durability concerns if he's run into too many collisions. However, speed kills and his game-breaking potential on all three levels will be enticing as a high-risk, high-reward draft pick.

Round 6 • Pick 4
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Long-limbed, 4-3 linebacker with moldable play traits and an attacking play demeanor. Needs to add muscle and learn to play under control. Brown has the speed and length to put himself into position to make plays but he overshoots open field tackle opportunities. He is average in zone coverage, but has intriguing rush/blitz potential that might be tantalizing. He might climb the ladder from a backup to something more if he can play stronger and with more discipline.

Round 4 • Pick 35
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Competitive press nickel who uses mirror quickness and controlled hand work to make press release uncomfortable for receivers. Reid's body control and balance allow him to play a stickier brand of coverage underneath, but that coverage will fade as routes progress. He can be mismatched with big speed or big size and doesn't feature the physical profile of a capable run-support defender. Reid's passion, competitiveness and football IQ are fun to watch, but physical limitations could cap his ceiling.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Gonzalez plays to his wide frame and impressive power, driving and mauling to the best of his ability. While he has athletic limitations, he should be fine as a run blocker provided he's paired with a team that doesn't ask him to play in space very often. He has average core strength and inconsistent hand quickness, which will get him jostled at the point of attack at times, but he can hang in the saddle and get the job done. His lunging and inconsistent anchor against the bull-rush might be correctable to an extent, but the athletic limitations will always be an issue when facing off against the athletic rushers in the league.

Round 6 • Pick 14
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Undersized interior lineman who lacks explosive quickness and power to compensate for his lack of mass. Windsor doesn't carry a very broad frame, so he might have issues packing on good weight to withstand the rigors of the NFL game. He has decent initial quickness, is agile and plays with motor, but he has only one year of flash production (2018) and has just 48 solo tackles in 51 career games. Undersized interior linemen without a great pass rush have a hard time sticking around for long so he'll need to get bigger and better with his hands to have a shot at making a team.
