DRAFT TRACKER 2022

Five-year starter who can play all over the field but will need to find a home as he's lacking in high-level traits. Hicks is an intelligent and instinctive player with above-average aggression. His play on special teams could help him carve out a spot while he plies his craft for a zone-based defense.

High-cut 3-4 outside linebacker with the movement and motor to make positive plays in the run and pass games. Goode's size and strength won't excite evaluators, but the ability to convert effort into disruption is hard to ignore. While his athletic ability should translate to the next level, he might not be able to add much more functional mass and power to handle NFL offensive tackles. Goode's slippery rush could be worth a longer look if he can prove himself as a special teams performer but he might need to make a more full-time move from the edge to 4-3 outside linebacker.

There's not much tape to lean on over the last two years, but Deng clearly lacks the body type of an inside linebacker and the play strength of a 3-4 edge. He does, however, possess adequate instincts with rare length/range that could make him worthy of a look as a developmental project at inside linebacker. Putting another 15 to 20 pounds on his slender frame is a must in order to withstand the rigors of the position.

Garbers has good size, an average arm and below-average passing acumen by NFL standards. His target-staring and modest operation quickness allow coverage to close windows and create contested catches of formerly open throws. He's an adequate decision-maker with the pocket mobility to slide and find a platform and he can move the chains with his legs, though he's not a dual-threat prospect. Garbers might be worth a camp look but is unlikely to find an NFL roster.
