DRAFT TRACKER 2021

Pass-catching tight end with decent speed and plus ball skills but a concerning lack of consistent aggression in his play. Long is much too passive and unskilled as a run blocker at this point of his development to consistently help against NFL competition. He also needs to get better at controlling his catch space with body control and physicality. However, when the ball is in the air, he plays with a plus level of tracking and focus to make tougher catches look easy, including throws that are down near his feet. He doesn't look like a burner, but he does have success running the seam and working over routes, so play speed should not be an issue. He's unlikely to ever be much of a blocker, so he must learn to become more competitive and feisty in fighting for his space and the football.

McDuffie plays with a palpable energy and rarely gears down until the whistle blows. He's undersized, but is at his best playing inside. That's where his recognition talent and instincts take over and allow him to race to run lanes ahead of the block. He pursues with leverage but has the burst to accelerate and attack when it's time to finish. His full-tilt playing style will lead to occasional issues with pursuit angles and being out of balance as a tackler, though. He's feisty but takes time to free himself from blockers and was ineffective when asked to drop into coverage. He has the ability to become a quality backup with core special teams value.

Shorter edge defender with huge hands and jarring upper-body power. Roberts' production is predicated upon his power, leverage and willful motor. Lower-body tightness creates inconsistencies through contact when he's not sitting down and ready to battle the block. He has heavy hands to thump run blockers but he's not a dynamic run defender by any measure. As a rusher, Roberts has shown the ability to cut a tight pathway into the pocket using leg drive to play through the edge of the tackle. He's missing a well-rounded game and desired traits, but his rush will give him an outside chance in camp.
