DRAFT TRACKER 2022

Nose tackle with size and power that fuels his rumbling playing style. Jones lacks explosive get-off and hand twitch. He's unlikely to be a quick-win defender, but the anchor and upper-body power are present for gap-control duties once he gets his footwork and hand usage schooled up. He was a standout on a bad defense and more than held his own against the toughest competition he faced. Jones has the demeanor, traits and overall ability to become a successful run-plugger and potential starter in a two-gapping scheme.

Inside linebacker with throwback size but also throwback athleticism that fails to fit cleanly into today's brand of football. Beavers is a phone-booth linebacker who is well-schooled in taking on and slipping blocks between the tackles but can be overwhelmed by athletic opponents when forced to move and play in space. He plays too stiff-legged and with a lack of desired agility, which gets him tangled up in traffic more than teams might like. He'll need to lean into a role as a thumper to make a team, which will require improvement in consistently attacking and discarding blockers. Beavers has a challenging road ahead of him but his background as a core special-teamer helps.

Four-year starter with appealing length, athleticism and leadership traits to sell to teams. Van Demark lands in a classic role as a likely late-round move tackle. He's scheme-dependent, requiring a fit with a zone-heavy team as he will be much better at getting to the spot than commanding the one in front of him. He's likely to be unable to win a battle of wills against NFL power at the point of attack and his athletic ability doesn't help as much as expected in pass pro due to a disconnection between his hands and feet. The traits give him a chance to be drafted but his frame and upside might be maxed out.
