DRAFT TRACKER 2022

Uniquely gifted cornerback with rare blend of size, speed and explosiveness that will have teams willing to judge his upside off of tape from two seasons ago. Stingley played in just 10 games over the last two years, offering flashes of his upside rather than sustained play. Regardless of season, he's long, loose and extremely athletic. Elite speed and ball skills give him a chance to thrive as a bump-and-run corner capable of shadowing top talent around the field. He allows some separation from off-man but bursts to close distance instantly. He's well-suited for a variety of zone coverages but needs to play with much better zeal and toughness in run support. Stingley will likely measure and test like Marshon Lattimore, Patrick Peterson and Antonio Cromartie (depending on his weight), but he needs to find that breakthrough 2019 form in order to reach his potential as a lockdown cover talent.

Pitre is a coach's dream with exceptional competitive drive and desired intangibles for teams where locker room culture matters. He became an impact player in Baylor coach Dave Aranda's "Star" position but he might not have the physical tools to stay in a similar role as a pro. He's a little tight in his lowers, which could impact his success in man coverage. He might benefit from a scheme that allows him to play with more linear pursuit. Pitre played well at the Reese's Senior Bowl and tested well at the NFL Scouting Combine and his pro day. He could develop into a future NFL starter as a Day 2 selection.

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.

Safety with good size and a great pro day. Thomas is an explosive defender with good speed and above-average range. He can play in space but needs to get better at recognizing patterns and anticipating route breaks. He has the traits and temperament to play special teams and could compete for a backup role.

Leonard's best football might be ahead of him if a team is willing to show patience. He has good size and strength to press and carries the recovery speed to get back in the play when beaten. He tends to lose out on playmaking opportunities that present themselves in coverage, though. He could be pushed toward zone-heavy concepts but Leonard has a shot to develop on a practice squad if given the chance.

Matthew is a height, weight, speed prospect whose allure will primarily be based on his rare blend of size and explosive athletic testing. As a 25-year-old rookie, Matthew has a somewhat limited upside but it's difficult to find corner prospects with his measurables and outstanding length. His 15 pass breakups in 2021 could give rise to hope that he's finally finding his footing as a prospect.

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.
