DRAFT TRACKER 2022

Walker is a compact back with a very powerful, sturdy base. He can find his own yards with twitchy directional change when run-blocking breaks down and possesses plus-rated contact balance to add on to his yardage throughout the game. Walker is a very determined runner who is more reactive than instinctive, which leads to wild shifts in his rush track. He can handle RB1 workload in terms of carries but needs work as a third-down option. Walker would benefit from better rush-track discipline, but his explosiveness and unpredictable style should still lead to success as a future starter.

Center prospect who spent the last two seasons at left tackle. Tom was extremely impressive in pass protection at tackle despite a lack of desired size or length, but he's likely headed back to center in the pros. He plays with technique and plus body control, but his aggression level is a little lacking in the run game and his mass is below average. Tom could be a priority for teams with leaky interior protection. He has Day 3 value as an above-average backup with eventual starting potential.

Vilain could catch a "project" label or a "diamond in the rough" tag, but he's worthy of more than just a cursory conversation for teams. He never lived up to his four-star billing at Michigan and saw little playing time, but his explosiveness and upside frequently flashed on his Wake Forest tape from the 2021 season. He's not a naturally instinctive player and lacks consistency as a run defender, but Vilain's measurables, athletic traits and upside as a pass rusher should make him worthy of a Day 3 pick.

Two-year starter whose NFL-caliber athletic testing doesn't always show up with projectable tape. Roberson has build-up speed but can struggle to get off press and avoid route redirection. He's a leggy route-runner whose lack of suddenness in and out of breaks forces him into a high percentage of contested catches. He uses his height, length and catch radius to win over the heads of nickel cornerbacks both deep and near the goal line. Roberson's explosive testing might fit the league, but he lacks a well-rounded package of positional skills.

Two-time team captain and durable outside cornerback whose lack of on-ball production and cover consistency don't seem to match his testing and experience. Taylor struggles to stay connected to routes and plays with average recovery speed once trailing. His penalty count is a clear indicator of his lack of confidence in playing down the field and he's more likely to get his shot as an undrafted free agent.
