DRAFT TRACKER 2021

Versatile defender who has worked both open and closed sides as an even-front edge defender. Snowden is a long, smooth athlete dropping into space or transitioning with change of direction. Lower-body anchor is an issue and he needs more play strength, but he's usually first to land his hands and does an adequate job of separating and setting the edge. Despite having some twitch with his get-off as a rusher, he gets locked out of the cookie jar due to an inability to convert at the top of the rush with hand usage or go-to counters. However, he has excellent lateral quickness for use in twists and stunts and has surprising potential as a zone or man defender when asked. Snowden is an ascending prospect with Day 2 potential as a 3-4 outside linebacker, but his ceiling will be defined by whether he can add mass and improve his rush.

Former dual-threat quarterback who flipped to tight end during his time at Central Michigan and continued at that spot as a Virginia graduate transfer. He has some ability as a run blocker thanks to his play strength and above-average length. If he can work with better inside hands, he should continue to improve in that area as a pro. Despite his background as an athletic quarterback, Poljan looks somewhat labored moving in space and is a little stiff when attempting to attack 50-50 balls. His upside as a pass catcher appears limited, but he might have the size and toughness to make it as an in-line blocker with some zone-beater value underneath in the passing game.

Simpson lacks the desired size for an early down running back. He runs with limited knee bend and lacks the agility to work with lateral elusiveness. He's a tough runner, but offers marginal burst through the line and into the second level. Simpson's rigid running style makes it hard for him to fit smoothly into the shape of the running lane, but he will bang and crash into bodies, falling forward for additional yardage. His running and pass-catching aren't particularly exciting, but his return potential might pique the interest of teams looking to sign an undrafted free agent at the position.

Strong but stiff inside linebacker whose feet and hips simply can't respond to what his eyes are telling them. Zandier has good toughness to bang between the tackles using impressive instincts in diagnosing and moving with the play. When runners get outside the tackle box, he is in serious trouble as he lacks the pursuit speed or open-field agility to be a consistent tackler. He sees the game like a pro prospect but the athletic traits are too far below the standard.
