DRAFT TRACKER 2020

Tall, thin and long-limbed, Cobb will be in consideration as a 4-3 weakside linebacker despite playing inside in 2019. He plays with adequate patience and feel for blocking schemes when diagnosing, but has trouble punching and playing around blocks. His lack of pop into contact and finishing strength as a tackler could cause problems against bigger runners and he lacks prototypical chase speed outside. Despite the inconsistency of traits for the position, the testing and history of production should get him into a camp.

Rangy linebacker who relies on speed and instincts to overcome his lack of size and strength on the collegiate level. Smith is more pack tackler than alpha hunter from the second level, but needs to become much more proactive as a downhill linebacker to avoid hand-to-hand combat against NFL blockers. Smith's athletic traits and ability to play on third downs should give his draft stock some life, but he needs to prove he can carry more weight to land a spot on a 53-man roster.

The quick twitch and lateral quickness can be intriguing when they pop on tape, but his inability to leverage gaps, take on blockers and play with consistent recognition of play development is problematic. Maluia has good speed, agility and short-area movement skills, but he will be a long shot to earn a roster spot unless he can become a special teams star.

He's too small to play inside linebacker and too slow to play safety. Young's activity level and tenacity helped drive his three seasons of tackle production, but he lost more than he won when challenged by blockers. He's often smothered and pushed around due to his lack of size and doesn't do enough to slip blocks or play in front of them with instincts and speed.
