DRAFT TRACKER 2021

Long-limbed cornerback with angular frame and disruptive size and strength. Newsome is well-versed in Cover 3, quarters coverage and press man. He's equally adept at each, too. It's hard to get a gauge on his overall long speed, as most of the throws his way were underneath, but it's worth noting that he's above average with ball tracking and body positioning to defend the deep throw. While the takeaway totals are nothing special, his length, timing and sheer competitiveness make tape study of the contested catches he's allowed for completions a very short watch. He has the footwork and skill level to cover downfield without getting into receivers prematurely, but for now, those pass interference penalties from press-man are a concern. Newsome is a competitive, scheme-diverse outside cornerback with good size, speed and explosiveness. He has the talent to become a good starter within his first two seasons.

It's hard to see Owusu-Koramoah's explosive traits, versatility and playmaking ability on display and not get excited about what is to come. Concerns will be raised about his lack of size and occasional lapses in fundamentals, but neither should detract from his rare potential as a game-changing talent. Not only is he fast to range and help control the outside running game, but he has an instant downhill trigger paired with a willingness to take chances, which should lead to big plays near and behind the line of scrimmage. He has the athletic ability to handle man-cover duties on a variety of positions and his rush potential as a wild-card blitzer bolsters his value. There is still a need to harness and control his energetic playing style and his field discipline is still a work in progress. However, his athletic traits, versatility and playmaking demeanor give him a chance to become the most impactful defender in this draft.

Prospect with legitimate track speed and rare acceleration who is more of a catch-and-run specialist right now. Schwartz will break your heart on occasion with his poor ball tracking and below-average hands, but there is no doubting his ability to alter coverage once he's in the game. Schwartz will need a layered passing concept that can keep him on the move, threatening defenses on crossers, over routes, go routes and posts. He hasn't played in the most stable passing attack at Auburn, so there might be some meat on the bone for him as a pro. He's unlikely to ever develop the desired ball skills of an NFL wideout, but even as a field stretcher or diversionary piece, he will offer value.

Raw but athletic with big, strong hands and the potential to get substantially better with additional technique and strength training. His 2020 tape is erratic, with highs and lows on any given snap. However, teams will be much less interested in his inconsistency and much more interested in the flashes and potential. Hudson’s pass-pro technique and lack of redirect strength are substantial issues and must be corrected before he is game-ready. His lateral quickness and second-level radar will make him a favorite for move-oriented rushing attacks, since he can get to positioning that most linemen can’t. He’s still very much in a developmental phase, but a high ceiling will likely push him up the draft board.

Interior defender with tight hips, good upper body power and improved tape from 2019 to 2020. Togiai doesn't really have the traits to label him as a clean fit for either one or two-gapping schemes but will need to play in an even front as a pro. He's fairly disciplined to come off the ball with proper pad level and attack blocks with a proactive demeanor, but the lack of arm length will show up if asked to stack blocker or free himself from a strong sustain block. He's more active than athletic as a pass rusher and plays with hustle and pursuit as a secondary rusher. He has rotational tackle potential but may not offer enough in the traits or rush categories to become much more than that.

Productive linebacker with good feel for blocking schemes and where running backs are eventually headed. While Fields' patience prevents him from making ill-advised advances that would pull him out of position, he will need to balance his patience with a more controlled aggressiveness when it comes to playing ahead of play designs. He has the instincts to take more chances and will most assuredly need to due to his lack of desired size and play strength. Fields' inconsistent tackling and below-average third-down potential could further hurt his chances if he doesn't improve his aggression level against the run.

Safety with a slender build but the mindset of a box thumper when flying downhill. LeCounte is very willing and capable as a striker on targets coming over the middle, but lacks the size and tackle strength to go heads-up against NFL runners and not take the worst of it. He can be opportunistic in coverage with good field awareness and decent ball skills, but his ability to carry deep speed down the field or match athleticism with quality receivers in space is a concern. He has backup potential but his lack of special teams experience might work against him.

Hybrid talent with experience as both a runner and volume pass-catcher who might be targeted to make a full-time transition to the receiver position. Felton's Senior Bowl week showed off improved route running and an ability to compete against press. His run-after-catch talent gives his draft profile a boost at receiver, but clever offensive coordinators might be well-served to maintain his versatility as a two-position player to help create more options from a personnel grouping and matchup standpoint. With an ability to carry the ball, catch the ball and return kicks, Felton offers scheme and roster flexibility that could push him up the board.
