DRAFT TRACKER 2020

Unheralded three-star recruit who was a late scholarship offer at Auburn, but became a consistent back-end contributor. He's well-built and plays physical football, but he's not necessarily a punisher. He has a good burst downhill into run support duties, but can be a little inconsistent with his angles. Thomas can cover tight ends and has some "big nickel" experience, but will be better off playing with his eyes forward in short zone or in the box. He has the size, explosiveness and special teams potential to compete for a roster spot as a backup strong safety.

Dinson's toughness and consistency of play are obvious on tape, but he's a defensive back who doesn't quite fit the physical/athletic pieces together in finding a position. He's built like a cornerback playing safety but runs more like a linebacker, and he doesn't have the size teams look for in a safety roaming the box. He has excellent instincts and recognition underneath, but lacks the coverage range and short-area burst to disrupt catches at the desired rate. He might need to add weight and lock into a role as a special teams worker bee and a dime safety, but the lack of speed is a big hindrance.
