PLAYER ANALYSIS
Roche has packed the stat sheets for the better part of four years, but he's very average athletically and doesn't have the mass to consistently hold up at the point of attack. He's tight in his lower half, which limits his ability to corner sharply when attacking the pocket. However, he's limber in his upper body, which creates opportunities to slide off of blocks and make plays at awkward angles. His production should matter, but the athletic profile might push him down the board.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Outside receiver with the size to intimidate smaller corners once the ball is in the air, but they are sure to be right there with him. His ball-tracking and catch instincts make Mack a fun study, but projecting him into the pro game is a challenge. He's a build-up runner with below-average top-end speed and lacks even functional shiftiness underneath to separate. While contested catches will be a concern, the bigger issue could be simply getting off the ball cleanly against NFL press.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Low-cut three-technique with muscular frame and good lean mass. He gets off the ball with good hand quickness into the blocker and plays from a point of leverage but often fails to diagnose the play. A lot of his energy is spent on dealing with the blocker in front of him, so he's not much of a playmaker. His rush is spearheaded by his upfield charge and he occasionally moves a guard around with a bull rush, but he's not a very dynamic athlete as a pass rusher, limiting his potential at the next level.
