Ward returned for a sixth collegiate season to work on his frame and his game in 2022. He added muscle mass and looked a little more athletic in his final collegiate campaign. He’s fairly consistent as a short snapper, but his long snaps come out with average speed and spiral to the target. He has a chance to be a late-round pick but will find a camp invite if he doesn’t hear his name called in the draft.
Swoboda is a three-year starter at right tackle with rare size that can often work against him due to his high center of gravity. On tape, he has heavy feet and struggles to move them quickly enough to keep pace with athletic movements. However, at his pro day testing, he performed fairly well at the same task. He will need to alter his approach in pass protection with better posture and more efficient hands and feet to overcome the deficiencies he shows on tape.
