PLAYER ANALYSIS
Tall, gangly edge defender who is lacking in functional strength but makes up for it with traits and flashes of pass-rush instincts. Currently, even an average punch can stall out his rush momentum and he has a hard time exiting the block once opponents get into his frame. However, his pursuit of the play rarely comes to a full standstill and he naturally works to counter movements. If he schools up his hands and rush approach, the rush movements could turn into rush moves. He has plenty of burst and agility to make plays behind the line of scrimmage if he can free himself and get there. Smith is a developmental project, but he might be worth a shot in the middle rounds.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Big wideout with above-average hands and good physicality who could take a big step forward if he can improve consistency of his tracking and ball skills down the field. Watkins shows good build-up speed for his size and has enough athleticism to run basic routes on the first two levels. He can use size and strength to battle against press corners looking to blanket him underneath. In addition, he has the frame and hand strength to make contested catches. He's good at finding the soft spots in zone and is a wide, reliable target quarterbacks can depend on. Watkins needs more polish to clearly define his role, but he could be a solid middle-round pick with future value as a WR3.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Pure outside zone runner with good size, courage and decisiveness to be fully functional in the scheme if it's blocked up. Brown is a decisive runner, which is crucial for a back lacking desired burst, but he's missing the speed to challenge linebackers around the edge on stretch plays. His elusiveness is below average, but he will create additional yardage with strength and the ability to break tackles. He lacks third-down talent and might be viewed as a scheme-specific back with the power to compete for a RB3/4 spot.
