DRAFT TRACKER 2022

Will give NFL evaluators early starter vibes with his blend of size, power and creativity. Hall isn't very sudden in tight quarters but gets better as the run play progresses with good vision and an above-average sense for how to beat second-level tacklers. He has surprising build-up speed once he's in the open field but might not have the instant gas to become a plus outside runner. His running style is willful when it needs to be and he's adept at moving the chains on "got to have it" short-yardage carries. Hall has full-package, three-down talent with surprisingly soft hands out of the backfield and should find early touches as a Day 2 draft pick with above-average potential.

A tight end with elite measurements and statistical production, Kolar's tape can be a little bit average when studying the entire body of work. Despite his outstanding size and length, Kolar is not very aggressive or effective as a point-of-attack blocker. He has the tools to improve but needs to add a glass-chewing mentality to match up against NFL defenders. There isn't much wiggle and bend in his route work, but he understands angles and leverage. He finds a way to open throwing windows for his quarterback. He has box-out talent to keep catch windows clean and his quiet, sticky hands are automatic. I'm not sure his college production will travel with him, but he should become a solid move tight end as a Day 2 selection.

Uwazurike's combination of size, length and athleticism makes him an intriguing defensive line projection at the next level. He has played every defensive line position in both odd and even fronts and was productive doing so. Early glances at tape show a player with subpar pad level and inconsistent scraps at the point of attack, but a closer look shows the technique improved and he received more reps inside at the nose. He's an active pass rusher with lively hand usage and the ability to go from an edge attack to a straight bull rush in the middle of the rep. He will appeal to 3-4 teams at either nose or five-technique.

Sam linebacker with quality play strength and a fight-it-out demeanor. Rose is much better in the box, where he can scrape downhill and attack the blocking scheme. He's more than capable of playing off blocks and disrupting downhill rushing attacks, but his success rate suffers greatly when forced to cover more ground and make open-field tackles. He's a physical blitzer on passing downs but will be a liability in coverage. Rose has a chance to become a backup 4-3 Sam or 3-4 inside linebacker but his lack of pursuit speed could hinder his upward mobility.

Tough-nosed, inline tight end who should garner attention for his resolve in handling his blocking duties for the Cyclones' rushing attack. His measured size and length are both good, but a lack of girth in his lower body hinders his base strength and drive blocking. Allen is technically sound at the point of attack and plays with a dirt-dog demeanor that coaches will love. He's not a natural route runner but he's fairly athletic in space and might be capable of becoming a more well-rounded "Y" tight end if given the chance. Allen could be a riser in the draft process as a Day 3 candidate.

Two-year starter at inside linebacker who plays at a consistent level but fails to really stamp games as his own. Hummel's testing numbers and ability to step into a core special-teams role will elevate his chances of making a team as a late-round pick or undrafted free agent, but his recognition and flow to the football are just average. He has the athleticism to potentially compete for a three-down backup role but he'll need to play to the testing numbers as a pro.

Four-year starter who was never able to improve upon a stellar sophomore campaign. Purdy is a burly pocket quarterback who needs a play-action based offense where he can rely on timing over release quickness and arm strength. He can be a confident passer when he finds his rhythm, but throwing is more of a chore than a talent thanks to a labored release. Certain areas of the field will be off limits as he moves up to take on NFL coverage talent. He's a scrappy runner but not dynamic enough to make up for his shortcomings as a passer.
