PLAYER ANALYSIS
Impressive physical specimen with the traits and athletic profile to move up the draft board, but tape shows he might still need more course work before heâs ready to make a difference in the pros. He uses his length and hands effectively at the point of attack, but needs to weaponize them as a pass rusher. Currently, he's too obvious as a rusher and doesn't have a myriad of go-to moves or counters when he's facing off against a talented opponent. The key for Tryon will be learning to grease the edge and create angles of entry both inside and outside. He has high upside but could spend the first year or two as a rotational defender while adding more polish.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Trask clearly has the arm strength, touch and placement to wear out one-on-one coverage if he has good protection and above-average players around him, but he's not going to elevate an offense with his talent alone. He's very good at finding his throwing platform and can deliver deep throws with outstanding touch. He needs to improve his eye work to create more opportunities by moving safeties around. Trask is clearly a skilled passer, but it's hard to find evidence of him being able to play chess at this point against what NFL defenses are likely to show him.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
High-cut, top-heavy tackle with good technique but lacks lateral quickness and desired level of agility as a pro. Hainsey is a respected leader and plays with consistent toughness. He's patient, operates with quality hand usage and is generally under control at the point of attack, but is forced to lunge and lean at times to make up for his below-average foot quickness. Handling island duties against athletic edge defenders could always be a problem for him, but a move to guard might diminish some of his limitations and give him a shot as an NFL backup.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Diminutive wideout with blazing speed who can have an impact on the game both short and deep against most defenses. Darden is short and slight, which will keep him off the board for teams who use hard and firm size standards at every position. He can mash the turbo and get to top speed instantly, which could require defenses to play off or offer safety help if he's on the field. He's not a big fan of working into traffic and lacks the size and strength to make contested catches. Despite his smallish frame, his ability to threaten defenses from all three levels is bound to catch a team's attention on Day 3.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Ultra-aggressive inside linebacker with densely muscled frame and a throwback demeanor. His alpha personality is on display whether on defense or on special teams. He plays a downhill, attacking style that can clog run lanes, but also causes him to lose sight of the ball and get trapped behind blocks, limiting his ability to flow with the runner. He has tight hips and lacks the desired sideline-to-sideline range, but when he hits, opponents definitely feel it. He doesn't have functional coverage ability and could be pegged as an early-down backup with core special-teams value.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Height/weight/speed prospect with developmental traits, but the fundamentals and feel for the position are way behind. Despite his straight-line speed, Wilcox has long legs paired with average feet, creating awkward, clunky transitions when he's not allowed to just phase the downfield route. His testing could create an opening for a practice-squad role, but the lack of experience, consistency and the history of injuries plant him firmly in the "project" pile.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Squatty, short-stepping linebacker who plays with tremendous energy and is always on the attack. Stuard has a twitchy, explosive take-off when he's playing forward, but tight hips restrict his sideline-to-sideline range and his ability to make reactive plays as a tackler in space. He has good straight-line speed and should test well in that department, but his lack of size and inability to play all three downs could force him into a situation where special teams would be his route to a roster.
