PLAYER ANALYSIS
A three-year starter and team captain, Taylor plays with explosive upper-body power and unified hands and feet to help rack up production. However, he's undersized by interior defensive line standards in the NFL. He has first-step quickness and talent to find his production, but a lack of traits could limit his opportunities.

New Orleans Saints
Round 5 • Pick 18
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Jackson's freestyling, downhill approach produced a spike in overall production in 2021, but also led to missed run fits and big plays for the running game. He has some talent at slipping blocks but it is usually lights out once blockers get their hands on him. His pursuit speed, combined with a lack of desired instincts, could necessitate a move to 4-3 Will linebacker, where his coverage potential and special-teams ability might land him a backup gig.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Height, weight, speed prospect with impressive top-end speed and testing numbers. At this time, Virgil is a better athlete than wide receiver. He's a below-average route-runner with a lack of consistent ball skills, which can make it hard to project future success down the field. While the hands might never get there for him, he can be a real handful when he's in run-and-catch mode or returning kicks. If he fails to impress enough as a receiver, teams could give him a look at running back based upon his play traits and size.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Three-year starter as an undersized outside corner with the will and effectiveness to compete against much bigger opponents. Jolly plays with a chip on his shoulder and a desire to prove he's the better man in his individual matchups. He's more effective as a mirror-and-match corner than he is playing in off coverages and he's likely to be overmatched by bigger opponents -- even from the slot -- on the next level. He's a scrappy defender with good athletic traits but his lack of measurables could create a roadblock for NFL opportunities.
