DRAFT TRACKER 2021

2020 opt-out with three years of handling snapping duties for the Wolverines. Cheeseman improved from 2018 to 2019 as a kick snapper with consistent accuracy but teams will likely have concerns about his inaccuracies with long-snapping over the last couple of seasons.

Smallish safety with two years as a full-time starter. Brown has plenty of experience playing inside the box, but he's not as pesky or physical as you would like for that role. He's a high-energy player with athletic feet and adequate coverage instincts. He looks natural in off-man coverage when matched against the slot. However, he doesn't have the tools to play over the top of the defense. He has camp potential but lacks some important traits for an NFL safety.

Swing tackle candidate who will need to make changes in pass protection technique to have a chance at the next level. Hermann isn't first into contact with his hands often enough, which diminishes his ability to play with engagement control in both the run game and pass protection. He has a soft outside edge and a lack of desired mirror to make up for it. He has the potential to get a shot as an undrafted free agent, but doesn't appear to have enough talent for the league long-term.

Tucker plays like a sawed-off ball of muscle. He is more explosive than fast and more likely to get additional yards through force than elusiveness. He doesn't have the one-cut fluidity zone teams look for, but he does have enough burst to play outside the tackles. He's a brazen runner, taking on much bigger defenders and often takes the worst of it. Tucker is very tough and does his job, but lacks dynamic qualities and high-end lateral agility needed from a smaller slasher.

Henderson isn't quick and he's not all that elusive, but he's built like a tree stump and will find yards after contact once he gets a head of steam. He's not a bad athlete, but he doesn't have the burst or vision most teams will be looking for. He will need to become a more decisive runner and might need to drop some weight to add much-needed quickness if he's going to have a shot in the league.

Former four-star recruit who started at Louisville but ended his journey with four games in 2020 at North Alabama. Boykin plays with a narrow base and a lack of fundamentals, and can be pushed off his spot way too easily by lesser competition. He doesn't play with an explosive enough get-off in the run game or as a rusher. He is a longshot to make a team.

Pro day performance could make him a height-weight-speed prospect, but he simply doesn't play to the level of speed and athletic testing from his workout. McCloud has decent patience from press, along with the length and strength to slow the release. While he has average feel for the route from trail, he rarely finds the football once his back is turned. His off coverage is way too passive and he allows catch after catch from zone and off-man. McCloud lacks the instincts to squeeze routes and play chess with quarterbacks. The measurables are good but the tape is below average.

Slot target with good size and testing but below-average production. Lees is a high school quarterback turned wideout who is a better athlete than receiver at this time. He needs to use his foot quickness and agility to unlock his potential as a route runner in order to open more catch windows. If he can play a faster, more sudden brand of football, he will have a chance to make a practice squad.

After playing right tackle at Fresno State, Tuitele will need to make a move inside to guard for his shot as a pro. His pass sets and overall athleticism aren't a match for the tackle spot in the NFL and he needs to prove he can use his size along the interior as a drive blocker. He might improve his consistency as both a run and pass blocker with better hand accuracy and usage. Tuitele has favorable size, but he lacks the body control and skill of a pro lineman.

Elliss definitely has the bloodlines, but the tape doesn't really stand out enough. He plays the game with a downhill mentality, using his play strength to his advantage in helping to stack up the running game between the tackles. He ran fairly well at his pro day, but doesn't have that same speed in pursuit and his feet look heavy in change of direction. His run-game instincts are average and he lacks the reactive twitch to become a dynamic tackler in space.

Two-year starter with long, athletic frame. Robinson is heralded for his leadership and overall character on and off the field. He displays good initial scrape speed to flow with the ball-carrier but lacks the physicality and instincts needed to put himself in position to make plays. His testing numbers will get him a look, but he often doesn't play to those numbers.

Campbell's 2019 tape is better than his 2020 film, but it still might not be good enough for the next level. He isn't explosive off the snap and lacks natural athleticism to make up for it. Below-average knee bend will get him pushed around the field as a run defender and he doesn't have the skills to create flash plays as a pass rusher, which makes it hard to envision a team getting excited about how he'll project with more coaching.

Wade is a two-year starter light on traits, but he tested well enough to garner some attention. At the end of the day, he's too small to handle NFL safety duties and lacks makeup burst and coverage talent to make plays in the passing game.

Despite carrying bad weight on his frame in the past, Neal was much quicker and more impactful as a nose for the Purdue defense, but his knee injury took away 2019 and he was just too heavy to get a good feel for what he could do in 2020. A re-watch of his 2018 tape shows flashes of snap quickness and power at the point of attack, but his play was still a little uneven against the better competition he faced. Unfortunately, it's unlikely teams will put a great deal of stock into 2018, as he was unable to show he could play at his top form this past season.

Outside linebacker prospect with long, athletic frame and plus toughness in his overall field demeanor. While he has the explosiveness needed to make plays in the run game, he doesn't have a linebacker's feel for play design or play development. Eifler also struggles with coverage duties, too often losing track of his assignments or allowing easy catches. He's a good athlete but is lacking in some crucial areas.

Crawford has played corner and safety but nickel back will be the spot where he has the best chance to make it in the pros. He's too slight to play safety and lacks the speed or burst necessary for a cornerback expected to handle coverage down the field. He has quick feet and plays with enough athleticism to stay close to routes underneath. However, he is likely to be targeted and exploited as a run defender on the next level. The injury history and underwhelming traits could keep Crawford from sticking on a roster.

Strong but stiff inside linebacker whose feet and hips simply can't respond to what his eyes are telling them. Zandier has good toughness to bang between the tackles using impressive instincts in diagnosing and moving with the play. When runners get outside the tackle box, he is in serious trouble as he lacks the pursuit speed or open-field agility to be a consistent tackler. He sees the game like a pro prospect but the athletic traits are too far below the standard.

Transfer from Florida Atlantic, where he operated next to current Browns tight end Harrison Bryant. Small H-back used over the top of linebackers and on play-action throws in the flat. On tape, he looks athletic and plays with consistent play speed, but his pro-day testing was very poor in those areas. He'll give it a shot as a blocker but doesn't have the size or grit to get it done on the pro level.
