DRAFT TRACKER 2022

Brooks will be knocked for a lack of suddenness and explosiveness, but may end up becoming a more effective NFL runner than evaluators expect. He's a tempo-based runner with an ability to switch gears inside the run when needed. He has adequate size and vision but really impresses with his ability to maintain space from defenders as the run progresses. He's not a home run hitter or a physical finisher and is unlikely to offer much third down value. Brooks' smooth, subtle running style can be taken for granted, but is perfect for outside zone teams looking to add competition. He's an RB2 with upside.

A tough runner with a compact frame, Pledger lacks the necessary size to pair with his running style. He is more willful than skillful as an interior runner, but lacks the size to rattle pads and take yards through force on the next level. He doesn't have the suddenness, vision or creativity to consistently get the most out of his carries, but will get what is blocked for him. He's OK on third downs but doesn't appear to have standout qualities expected from a "make it" running back.
