DRAFT TRACKER 2023

Productive runner with the physical/athletic attributes that could create an upward trajectory in the right situation. McBride is experienced and comfortable running in all blocking schemes. He’s smooth-hipped and runs with a good blend of shiftiness, and power. He would benefit from a quicker tempo and decisiveness inside. He must eliminate ball security issues or he could end up falling out of favor quickly. McBride’s lack of third down value could hurt his draft slotting, but his upside is worth a Day 3 selection.

The former four-star recruit has the size and length to receive consideration from NFL teams, but he still needs technique work and must improve his hand efficiency. Telfort is an adequate athlete, but his body control might always be below average. There are enough positives as both a run and pass blocker that a team might be willing to buy in and give him a chance as a Day 3 selection.

Squatty and strong, Thomas will need to prove he can slide inside to the slot after a career of playing outside. He’s both fast and quick. He plays with a good feel for route development, which explains his on-ball production. Thomas will lean and lunge at times, diminishing his balance in coverage, and he misses interception opportunities because of a lack of eye balance between the receiver and quarterback. He can phase and crowd routes, and is physical through the catch try. Thomas needs to play tougher in run support to make the transition to nickel, but he’s talented enough to earn a roster spot.
