DRAFT TRACKER 2021

Fully grown 3-4 outside linebacker with NFL-ready strength and impressive explosiveness. Ojulari is better in pursuit than he is as an edge setter, but he is quick to slide off a block and either make a tackle or accelerate to pursue in space. His ability to attack pulling blocks and shut down potential running lanes was fun to watch against Alabama. He has quality rush burst with loose limbs, but has a limited number of rush moves. Ojulari hasn't learned to set up blockers yet. The strength, football character, explosiveness and athleticism all get check marks, but he won't reach his potential until he cultivates his pass-rush talent and learns to stay separated from the punch.

Outside cornerback with undeniable physical traits and athletic tools. Smooth hips and agile feet guide him around the field, but he doesn't always trust his footwork and overall technique, which leads to occasional bouts with imbalance in coverage. Length and quick-twitch agility could lead to robust improvement and success in man coverage. Poise and confidence in matching routes and playing deep throws are the first order of business and those areas might take a couple of seasons to fine-tune. Campbell's traits outweigh the lack of polish and could lead to a solid NFL career.

Depending upon scheme, need or preference, Stokes offers teams the potential to play him outside or from the slot. Speed and quickness should allow him to stay with route runners or within close-out distance when he gets behind. Stokes played with better press technique in 2020 and he's willing to get physical near the goal line, but his play strength is below average. While there have been mild flashes of playmaking potential, he's more likely to play the receiver rather than attacking the football and looking for takeaways. He's twitchy in tight quarters with the potential to become more disruptive in zone. His size, speed and athleticism could make him a Day 2 pick as a future CB3, but his weakness as a run defender will be challenged quickly by NFL offenses.

Cleveland isn't just a burly interior lineman. He has a legitimate pro, wide-body frame with desired lean mass and proportional build. He's an average athlete for his size, but there are athletic limitations that will put him into the "lumbering" category if he has to redirect his weight or sustain his movements. The fundamentals into his first strike are sound, but he loses the sustain phase faster than expected for a man with his size and strength. He can be a little slow to process the moving pieces in pass protection, which could become a big issue due to below-average reactive lateral quickness. He should become an average starter, but has a chance to upgrade to quality starter if a team can coach him up to become a more consistent people-mover.

Productive inside linebacker with average speed and athletic ability who makes up for it with clear eyes and nose for finding the football inside the tackles. The 2019 tape was more kind than the 2020 tape even before he suffered a foot injury against Alabama that he was able to fight through with limited results. While he can spot drop and handle man coverage duties, he might be considered more of an early down linebacker. His feel for handling blockers and his GPS to the football give him a chance to become a starter in the future.

A challenging evaluation, as Daniel looks a little smaller than his listed size and isn't the most polished cover cornerback. However, he does a pretty solid job of staying within reach of the action. He has loads of experience in press man and some Cover 3 bail-and-shuffle. He's working with agile feet, average hips and good recovery speed, but struggles to maintain poise against big receivers down the field. Daniel plays with a competitive demeanor, but simply lacks the desired levels of recognition and anticipation to pounce on top of route breaks and contest more throws. He might be able to handle snaps inside and outside, which could add to his value. His lack of playmaking potential could cap his ceiling as a solid backup to average CB3/4, though.

Newman has raw traits and potential to work with but lacks the experience and consistency to command a team right now. He has the size and athletic ability that many teams are looking for in a quarterback. However, he doesn't respond well when additional points of pressure are added to the box. While he has some dual-threat capabilities, his rushing stats were garnered more through volume than explosiveness. While there are clearly issues to work on, he does have the ability to operate in a variety of offensive looks. Newman could take a significant jump forward if he can get through his reads more quickly and learn to work in rhythm. He has the ceiling of an eventual NFL starter, but his floor is lower than teams might like.

Girthy center prospect offering potential roster flexibility as a guard as well. His size works in his favor, but it's more as a mauler than a technician. He can slow opponents at the point of attack, but lacks the bend and hand placement to consistently sustain blocks for more than a short period of time. He's not a plus athlete, but he moves better than expected for his size. He can offer some value when asked to pull and clobber would-be tacklers. Hill's size and ability to play multiple spots give him a head start on winning a roster spot, but poor knee-bend and shoddy hand placement will be challenging to correct.

Rotational lineman with an understanding of leverage, hand work and technique, but a general lack of explosiveness prevents him from stacking production. Herring carries a girthy lower body, but he lacks the prototypical build and traits at defensive end. He can beat blocks with skill and flashes occasional slipperiness in playing off of or around blocks to make tackles. He possesses decent instincts and skill as a rusher but is missing the juice to get to quarterbacks from off the edge, meaning a rebrand into a sub-package interior rusher could be in the cards. However, the ACL tear he suffered at the Senior Bowl complicates the draft outlook for him.

Webb has handled the Star position for Georgia (which is essentially a big nickel back) but doesn't have the necessary speed or short-area quickness in coverage to continue playing that position in the pros. He's tough at the point of attack and does the dirty work in run support, so box safety is his likely designation during the evaluation process. It will be a challenge for him to make it as a defensive back, so adding weight and rebranding himself as a lighter backup linebacker and core special teamer might be a side door that could be under consideration.

Safety with a slender build but the mindset of a box thumper when flying downhill. LeCounte is very willing and capable as a striker on targets coming over the middle, but lacks the size and tackle strength to go heads-up against NFL runners and not take the worst of it. He can be opportunistic in coverage with good field awareness and decent ball skills, but his ability to carry deep speed down the field or match athleticism with quality receivers in space is a concern. He has backup potential but his lack of special teams experience might work against him.

Pass-catching tight end who can be asked to do some minor positional blocking up front, but he's better as a move blocker. McKitty's play speed doesn't always match his real speed, which is a problem in terms of his separation and ball tracking. He's better up the seam and on the move than he is getting in and out of breaks. If he can get stronger and learn to play faster as a pass catcher, he might have a chance as a developmental TE3.
