DRAFT TRACKER 2021

College tackle with debilitating length and a lack of athleticism in pass protection that will force a move to guard. Van Lanen is more angular and upright than wide and balanced in his play. When he's allowed to come off the ball as a drive blocker, he shows some potential to generate push. And he already has the hand placement to help make a transition to guard a little easier. He's made for power schemes where he can pull, locate and land to help spring the running game. The short arms and narrow power zone will make both block sustains in the run game and mirroring in pass protection a difficult task in the pros, but he has enough working for him to compete for a backup guard spot.

In 2018, made the switch from linebacker to fullback. Despite the truncated season in 2020, Stokke played his most consistent football this past season. There is work to be done in fitting up and sustaining his blocks, but he's decisive and makes proper reads in leading the way for his running back. Stokke has some short-yardage wiggle as a runner and is a capable pass catcher on play-action leak-outs into the flat. There aren't many fullback jobs around the league these days, but Stokke may have a shot to compete for one.

Running back with good size and great vision but a lack of necessary acceleration to get away from tacklers. He doesn't have enough juice to be a standard backup running back but might be seen a "joker" who can handle a variety of duties. If he adds more weight, teams could see him as a four phase special-teamer who can handle occasional lead blocking for outside zone and third down pocket protection duties if needed. He might not be drafted but running back coaches like his makeup and he should be a coveted priority free agent.

Has the experience and potentially the size to play for both even and odd fronts. Loudermilk is fairly well built, but could use a little more mass and overall anchor if he is expected to play inside in a 4-3. He plays with heavy hands and fires off the ball and into the neutral zone with good force to strike and stake his claim. While he can settle into solid positioning early in the rep, Loudermilk lacks the play traits and talent to finish as a playmaker. He'll get some movement as a rusher, but not enough to expect him to play on passing downs. He has Day 3 potential and his best fit might be as a backup 3-4 end.

Classic Wisconsin guard with broad frame, solid fundamentals and good overall toughness. Dietzen understands angles and does a nice job of getting to his landmarks to help open holes. He plays with good strength at the point of attack, but his success rate drops when he's asked to play too far outside his phone booth. He's not athletic enough for wide zone or to consistently get to cut-off blocks on the second level. His footwork and overall balance are too erratic in pass protection to trust that he can match with NFL rushers. Previous injuries mean medical concerns could make his journey even more difficult.

Wildgoose has adequate foot agility and can grind on slower wideouts over the first five yards, but lacks the makeup speed and length to recover from early missteps in his coverage. It is easy to see his physicality throughout the route and he could become more impactful from press with more work. He's quick to crowd and body the receiver but fails to trust his technique, resulting in too many penalties over the course of his career. His lack of fluid transitions could make him a sitting duck in off-man, so he's better suited for zone or bump-and-run schemes as he tries to find a team fit as a likely undrafted free agent.
