DRAFT TRACKER 2021

Ascending defensive back offering coverage and positional versatility for today's brand of NFL football. Johnson offers enough field fluidity to cover the slot and showed off impressive instincts and ball skills to excite teams about his potential as a high safety. His combination of vision, field awareness and instincts usually have him in the right place at the right time. Johnson is willing as a tackler, but needs to clean up his technique and approach to bolster his run support for the next level. His high football IQ should aid his transition to pro football as a future starter with a strong upside.

I'm sure teams would like for him to carry a little more weight on his frame, but he's certainly not lacking in toughness. Philyor is more than willing to work into the teeth of the defense underneath, but also has the acceleration to blow past unsuspecting off-man coverage and stretch the field from the slot. He's going to have trouble with contested catches and needs to work with smarter angles to help him shield defenders from opportunities to harass him. He's instinctive and effective in tracking deep balls and makes late adjustments to haul in the catch. The route-running could use better attention to detail to more effectively manipulate the coverage. The team who takes him will be getting a three-level slot with average hands but good football IQ as a Day 3 WR4/5.

Long-limbed 3-technique who plays with an active secondary motor that keeps him working toward the play. He's high-cut and leggy and his body control is very average, so he tends to get bounced around by contact as a run blocker and pass rusher. His reps as a run defender can be very feast-or-famine, depending on the game and matchup, but his loose upper body finds ways to slide off the block and get back into the play. He combines foot quickness and pure effort to help pressure the pocket and could offer late-Day 3 value as a potential three-down backup in a one-gapping front.

Scott doesn't have the speed to threaten the edge or hit the home run, and his burst gear is suspect, which will make him a tackle magnet on the next level. However, he possesses an impressive combination of vision, power and feel for blocking development as a short-yardage runner who's able to finish drives for touchdowns once he gets close. He needs a clear point of entry as an early down runner so he can get it moving downhill quickly. His short-yardage talent is appealing, but maybe not appealing enough to keep him on a roster.

Two-year starter and team captain with average size and a lack of desired length that shows up in his tape. Crider is much more consistent and effective as a pass blocker than he is in the running game. He does a nice job of maintaining a balanced, wide base in his pass sets and shows good awareness of rushers threatening his gaps on either side. He's a neutralizing base blocker at best, but more times than not, he will need plenty of help to move an NFL lane-clogger.
