DRAFT TRACKER 2022

The phrase "phone booth guard" was made for Johnson thanks to his wide, girthy frame and immense playing power. Johnson has experience at tackle, but he's clearly an interior blocker on the next level. He has knock-back pop at the point of attack with the ability to win the block in a test of strength. In space, his limitations become obvious. He'll need to fit into the right scheme that takes advantage of what he does well and diminishes the athletic limitations. He has a ceiling of starting guard in the NFL, but his ability to deal with the athleticism of NFL defensive linemen on all three downs is a concern both as a run blocker and in pass protection.

Long-levered safety with excellent top-end speed and the potential to become a rangy playmaker if he can learn to play with better overall discipline. Woods has too many busted assignments to be trusted in single-high alignments at this time, but offers teams the coverage versatility to be deployed in a variety of spots. If he can play with better decisiveness, he has the length, burst and striking power to impact catch tries and take the ball away. Woods' tools are likely to make him a Day 2 pick, but he'll need to prove that his run support and tackle finishing are on a functional level for the pro game.

Volume-carry running back with good size and talent for starting consideration as a pro. He was slowed, at times, by inconsistent run blocking but was still productive and consistent for much of the 2021 season. He has interior vision and loose hips, allowing him to locate and get to run lanes regardless of traffic. Spiller runs with good elusiveness but stays in that mode a little too long, which can affect his ability to finish with authority. He's a solid back but not overly dynamic and lacks the desired third-down value right now.

Interior lineman who plays with heavy hands to pop and separate for an early advantage, but heavy feet that prevent him from doing enough with it. He can handle some of the heavy lifting, but not all. Ogbonnia will flash as a one-technique or tilted nose but lacks the pad level and parking brake to hold it down as a 3-4 nose. He has very average quickness and does not profile as a mismatch defender. He is not an NFL pass-rush threat. He had splashy moments at the Senior Bowl and has a shot as a backup 4-3 nose but could offer some position flexibility for teams running varied fronts.

The broad chest, bulbous thighs and long arms sound like a nice starting point for a move inside, but Salyer is high-cut and lacking functional bend, which makes his projection more difficult. No matter the position, range and leverage are going to be a concern in the running game. The athletic limitations could lead to erratic results depending upon the matchup, but he is qualified and capable of doing battle against power-based defenders. His pass sets can be clunky and disjointed, but he is fairly confident in pass protection and his best position could be right tackle. He offers roster flexibility but he has the ceiling of a below-average starter or quality backup.

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.

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.

The size and muscularity in the Purdue uniform feels like a throwback to Mike Alstott but the tape fails to match expectations. Horvath needs to crank up the violence in his rush demeanor to take full advantage of his physical tools. He's agile but lacks the creativity to find yards on his own and will need to do so with pure power as a pro. If he can rebrand as a short-yardage specialist with third-down value, that would be helpful, but altering run demeanor can be a difficult task.
