DRAFT TRACKER 2021

Hall plays with inconsistent technique but a natural feel for making a play on the football. He lacks restraint and has head-first play qualities that create risk-reward in coverage. He loses positioning when trailing routes and is missing top-end speed to keep from being stacked by talented targets. However, his timing and accuracy to affect the catch-point offers hope that he can improve his technique. That said, he has limitations that might push him toward a zone-based defense where he can focus on playing downhill both in coverage and with plus run support.

Seeing Thompson in the San Diego State uniform and observing his instincts and ball skills is very reminiscent of watching former Aztec and current NFL safety Damontae Kazee. Thompson isn't as long or loose as Kazee, but the way he processes the field in coverage is impressive. His ball production spanned all four seasons, so it's a talent and not a fluke. He's good at responding to route combinations and to clues from the quarterback, but he lacks the short-area burst to make up ground when he gets behind in the route. He's tight in his hips and runs with short strides, limiting his overall range and recovery talent. While those are legitimate concerns on the pro level, the football IQ and instincts could get him drafted if he runs well enough.

Box safety with good size and toughness but missing key elements for both coverage and run support duties. Johnson is more than happy to mix it up but needs to do a better job of locating his run fit and operating with better patience as an open-field tackler. He doesn't have the speed, range or recognition to play on the back-end and could struggle to stay connected with quality pass-catching tight ends as they work through the route. His best shot will be to ball out on special teams in order to make his case.

Four-year snapper with good overall velocity and a tight, consistent delivery. He's smaller than average and isn't much of an athlete down the field in coverage. While he improved his consistency in 2020, he does have a history of low snaps, which could be a concern for NFL teams in the market for a snapper.
