DRAFT TRACKER 2021

Three-year starter with experience at both left and right tackle positions. His compact frame carries play strength that can be filed in the "grown man" category, as evidenced by his heads-up battles against 2020 No. 2 overall pick Chase Young in 2019. Slater operates with confidence and efficient movement that sees him in position to get his job done on most snaps. His lack of length will lead some teams to view him as a guard, but the footwork and talent outside might be worth allowing him to prove it at tackle first. His combination of strength, athletic ability and quick processing should make him one of the safer offensive line picks in this draft and an early starter.

Long-limbed cornerback with angular frame and disruptive size and strength. Newsome is well-versed in Cover 3, quarters coverage and press man. He's equally adept at each, too. It's hard to get a gauge on his overall long speed, as most of the throws his way were underneath, but it's worth noting that he's above average with ball tracking and body positioning to defend the deep throw. While the takeaway totals are nothing special, his length, timing and sheer competitiveness make tape study of the contested catches he's allowed for completions a very short watch. He has the footwork and skill level to cover downfield without getting into receivers prematurely, but for now, those pass interference penalties from press-man are a concern. Newsome is a competitive, scheme-diverse outside cornerback with good size, speed and explosiveness. He has the talent to become a good starter within his first two seasons.

Highly competitive pass catcher with great size and good route technique but missing suddenness and long speed as an outside target. While Skowronek can make a roster as a backup receiver due to his matchup potential and overall skill level, a switch to move tight end would diminish his weaknesses and enhance his strengths. He's a quick opener to eat up quick throws underneath, has the speed and athleticism to work the second level and occasionally get deep if teams aren't careful about how they match up with him. He needs more weight but is already a plus run blocker who can handle blocking duties from the slot. Skowronek could be the next Robert Tonyan if given a chance at that spot.

A 4-3 defensive end with NFL size and power, Brown has a natural sturdiness that shows up through contact. His play features heavy hands and he's generally able to give as good as he gets when it becomes a battle of wills at the point of attack. He lacks desired pursuit range, so his game would really benefit from learning to stack-and-shed the block more quickly so he can jump on top of the ball-carrier. His pass rush is too telegraphed and predictable when attacking off the edge, so developing his rush plan as a sub-package interior rusher will be critical to getting the most out of his potential.

Squatty but plays with above-average power and a gassed-up engine that keeps him charging at the action all game long. Evaluators might see his short arms and below-average testing and write him off, but he's a willing combatant whose toughness, play strength and natural instincts make him a challenge to keep away from the play. His demeanor is exactly what teams want from the position but issues with pursuit range are hard to ignore. Gallagher should be considered a bit of a longshot, but I give him a fighting chance thanks to the way he plays the game.

Pocket quarterback with good mobility and adequate arm strength to make NFL throws. He never hit the 20-touchdown mark in college and had a disappointing per-attempt average of just 6.7 yards for his career. He can make full-field reads and get through his progressions when protected, but his eyes are undisciplined when he senses pressure. He's not very fluid or rhythmic as a passer and has trouble with aiming and babying certain throws. He has good pocket mobility and can extend the play, but brings trouble on himself by not staying on time. He probably won't be drafted, but he's worth a camp look to see if he can be developed on the practice squad.

Four-year starter who has been able to ride his instincts, play recognition and motor into a mound of tackles. Finishing with over 400 tackles in the Big Ten is very impressive and his production in creating fumbles and defending passes is well worth mentioning. However, the question always becomes whether or not production is translatable and Fisher's lack of NFL traits, athleticism and functional speed should cast doubt about his potential. He's clearly an instinctive, hard-nosed player, but he might not have the minimum level of physical tools that NFL teams will be willing to bet on.

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.

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.
