DRAFT TRACKER 2020

Compact, sudden back who runs low to the ground with power and balance to break tackles and the agility to bob, weave and shake them in tight quarters. Edwards-Helaire runs with instinctive eyes and quick-cut foot speed. He doesn't really have tells or tendencies and can alter the rush track when needed, which makes him so unpredictable for defenses. While he can create for himself, he's better off working inside-out as NFL linebackers might be able to outflank him on pure outside runs. He has pop behind his pads but lacks short-yardage size. He has the talent to become a good, three-down back in time, but needs to improve in pass protection.

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.

Dancing bear with good agility and a great football IQ. He doesn't carry his weight proportionally and looked heavier/slower in 2019, but he clearly has NFL starting talent. Niang is a scheme-diverse run blocker with athleticism for move blocks and technique/leverage to open running lanes with power. He plays with top-notch awareness and instincts in pass pro, but he's an early opener in his pass sets and I'm not completely sold he can meet edge burners at the top of the rush on a consistent basis. The medicals need to check out on the hip, but he's a help-now right tackle prospect who should be a long-time starter.

Defensive back with good size and length. He's much more likely to be considered as a cornerback than a safety. Sneed is a little bit tight in space and won't have the fluid transitions teams look for in man coverage, but he has quality ball skills and adequate instincts to help attract teams looking for size at corner. He's not a physical tackler, but he could be good enough for placement into a zone-heavy scheme where he will be forced into more run-support duties. His experience as a split-safety and slot cover corner could push him up a round or so as a draftable Day 3 prospect.

Graduate transfer who did a solid job contributing to the defense on his move up to a Power Five conference as a graduate transfer. Danna has decent play strength, but lacks the explosiveness to open the door as a run defender and as a pass rusher. His motor is always operating at a desirable level, but his gradual movements are unlikely to allow him an opportunity to make enough plays to stick with a team on the NFL level.

Tall cornerback with good competitive streak who uses rare arm length to his advantage in press and catch disruption. He has adequate instincts and anticipation, but lacks functional makeup speed to cover-up for missteps in coverage. Keyes tends to play too free and easy with his footwork in space. He will need better discipline and bend to improve his balance and transition quickness. Scouts are very concerned about his long speed, but zone-heavy teams may view his length and ball skills as moldable traits to work with on the practice squad.
