DRAFT TRACKER 2021

Interior defender with the size and pad level to handle reps at nose or three-technique in an even front. Brown shed weight in 2020 and played at a fairly high level inside an SEC-only schedule. His footwork and body control are inconsistent, leading to clear wins and clear losses, but he has the strength and potential to take firmer control at the point of attack with more technique work. He can read-and-react as a two-gapper or play on the move with adequate effectiveness. His rush tends to be a little uninspiring, which could push him off the field on passing downs. He won't be 21 until August and should come in as a quality backup early on before working into a starting role in the future.

Blue-collar inside linebacker with good size and a forceful demeanor to stake his claim inside the box. Johnson developed into a highly respected team leader during his time with the Aggies. In just his second year at inside linebacker, Johnson showed great improvement in pursuit leverage and recognition of blocking schemes, but is still learning to recognize the best pathways to the football. He meets power with power when taking on blockers and does a nice job of playing off and finding his way toward the runner. There is still room for improvement as a move tackler in the open field and he's currently a coverage liability in the passing game. Johnson has the makeup of a two-down inside linebacker with special teams value.

Quarterback with dual-threat physical tools who has grown and matured into a role as a confident game manager. The Aggies' offense asked too much of Mond in the past, which led to diminishing returns. However, the 2020 offense featured a strong rushing attack paired with play-action, where he not only found greater confidence and rhythm as a passer, but also noticeable pocket poise and accuracy. He doesn't often get antsy working from the pocket and throws with solid ball placement underneath. Issues with touch and anticipation create erratic completion numbers when asked to throw down the field and outside the numbers, which will concern evaluators. His zone-read talent and quick release to incorporate RPOs adds to his draft value, but he might lack the consistency to ever become more than a solid backup.

Three-year starter and key cog in run game success in 2020, helping to propel his unit to a Joe Moore Award (best O-line) finalist position. Hocker plays heavy and powerful behind his pads with an ability to strike, leverage and drive to open up running lanes for his backs. He's a pure power-based guard and will struggle if asked to consistently make reach blocks or play in space. He carries some heat in a stiff jab to stall his opponent's rush plans and has the anchor to sit down and fight it out against a pure bull rush. Ranging laterally and mirroring athletes is going to be an issue for him against athletic sub-package rushers and he might need help in those matchups. He could start off as a backup but has the size and power to make it as a starting guard in time.

Three-year starter at left tackle against challenging SEC competition across from him. Moore held his own for an offensive line that was a finalist for the Joe Moore Award (nation's top OL) and he carries a well-proportioned build with good lean mass. He has adequate athletic ability to handle swing tackle duties, but plays with inconsistent hand strength and placement in both the run and passing games, causing him to lose control of the rep. He's clearly shown improvement at his position and doesn't have glaring athletic or physical weaknesses. However, he might not be a plus in any one category, which will make it difficult for him to become more than a solid backup.

Interior line prospect coming off of his best season at Texas A&M as a starting center. McCollum is long and high cut, lacking leverage and drive power at the point of attack. He does a good job of locating his hands with proper placement and will activate his play strength to secure blocks as quickly as possible. He's a very average athlete when isolated in pass protection, but should be able to make most blocks in the run game. He has late-round potential and could end up fighting for a roster spot at some point in the future.

Three-year full-time starter and gritty baller on an underrated offensive line in 2020. Green plays with enough athleticism and determination to get the job done but lacks desired NFL-caliber strength. While he has a shot in more zone-heavy blocking schemes, he might always have trouble battling against twitchy defenders and NFL bull rushers on the next level. He's not bad as a run-blocking technician but will default to occasional bad habits in pass protection due to his struggles in playing against strength. Green might lack the pass-pro traits necessary to handle swing tackle duties, which could make low-end backup right tackle his ceiling.

Undersized outside linebacker lacking both starting experience and instincts for the position. He has a natural feel for navigating traffic, but that won't be very valuable to him until he improves his play recognition. He is his own worst enemy, often running himself out of proper positioning, but that might be alleviated some with a move to 4-3 Will linebacker. He has adequate athleticism and closing burst to make tackles as a run-and-chase linebacker, but it will take more time and experience.

Has the size but lacks the functional speed teams are looking for out of a pro receiver. He's a high-character player with focused ball skills and an ability to make the sudden catch in tight quarters, but he's typically smothered from whistle to whistle when facing quality press-man coverage. Ausbon will need to play a much more rugged brand of football to create more separation through physicality, but even then, he will see a high percentage of contested catches.
