DRAFT TRACKER 2023

A perimeter man corner with good size and instincts, Brooks will need to prove he can continue his on-ball production against better competition. He will need to tighten up his technique, but he has the feet and feel to play press. Also, he does a nice job of competing against the route and fighting for positioning when the ball goes up. He has plus ball skills and innate timing to make plays on the throw but might need to prove his top-end speed in testing. He will have occasional issues with downfield penalties and is a below-average run defender, but he has the talent to work his way onto an NFL roster.

Bell ran well, jumped high and showed his strength at his pro day. His leverage and power as an interior defender help to dislodge blockers, but he would need substantially more weight to play inside as a pro. Bell’s lack of length will also be problematic if he’s utilized as a 3-4 outside linebacker. His traits and toughness should get him a look, but the best fit might end up being as a fullback with core special-teams ability.

Undersized tight end whose speed and fluidity in space basically make him a big slot receiver. Hebert had an excellent pro day, which should put him on the map as a priority free agent. Evaluators could grow to appreciate his mismatch potential and run-after-catch talent the more tape they consume. He needs to play with better effort as a blocker, but his athleticism, explosiveness and speed could make him a developmental project for a team.
