DRAFT TRACKER 2024

Three-year starter and team captain in 2023 with outstanding length and the potential to offer roster flexibility. Coleman will be scouted and drafted as a guard but might be able to handle a move to tackle in an emergency. He's broad and fits up blocks with pretty good accuracy when his hands are right, but he's never going to be a lane clearer in the run game. Coleman's experience at tackle helps his chances of protecting NFL quarterbacks as a guard. He pass protects with efficient hands and sound technique, but his reactive athleticism is very average, which could be trouble against sub-package rushers.

A well-built cornerback with inside/outside versatility, Newton’s 2022 tape was slightly better than his 2023 film. He’s capable in press and is made for old-fashioned Cover 2 looks where he can redirect the release and sink into zone coverage. Newton plays tall in space, creating inconsistencies in transitioning to match routes and he will lose downfield to speedsters. He’s competitive and physical at the catch point and is willing to do his part in run support. He has good football makeup, but it seems like he’s more likely to be around an NFL receiver rather than actively making plays on the ball.

Tall, long-armed tight end who flashes the potential to line up in-line or as a move tight end. Wiley would benefit from better strength in his lower half to help sustain blocks, but his technique is generally good. He has the stride length to pick up speed in the seam and across the hashes on intermediate throws. The short-area foot quickness is very average and he’s an average separator underneath. Wiley’s catch talent and ability to fight through contact are big check marks in his favor. He has the versatility and potential to compete for a role as a TE3.

Short back with muscular lower body who might possess the skill set to compete for a future three-down role. Bailey is a decisive runner with the vision and burst to choose correct pathways and turn runs into chunk plays. While he can be fairly elusive, he's not a loose-hipped creator in space and doesn't appear to have a home-run gear with which to run away from the defense. He's more capable than most prospects as a pass protector and adds value as a target out of the backfield. Bailey isn't special in any one area, but he's solid in all. His three-down potential and quickness to process and burst give him a shot at becoming a productive member of a running back room.

Stocky safety lacking the length and speed to make easy scheme projections for him. Bradford’s inconsistencies as a tackle finisher will be a disqualifier for some teams. In coverage, he plays with good field recognition and is fairly athletic in man coverage but lacks the length and burst to make enough plays on the football. His physical limitations could make it an uphill battle to stick on a roster.

Physical safety who leaves me wanting more due to his inconsistent play. Perry has the size, strength and toughness to be a more impactful run defender but seems too content to cruise through games at times. He’s not as successful when forced to process the field from split safety but does have some talent in man coverage near the line. Perry has the play strength to finish tackles quickly but missed tackles have stacked up on him over the last three seasons. He lacks versatility and urgency but might have the traits to garner NFL attention.

Sixth-year guard whose journey to NFL consideration took him to Angelo State, Jackson State and finally TCU for his final season. Patrick has put in work to melt away bad weight and improve his body type. He’s poised and balanced in protection and is quick with his punch, but he allows pressures against twists and blitzes. Patrick doesn’t create as much movement as expected as a run blocker and is best in a phone booth, where he can use his size and upper-body strength to maul. His scheme and position limitations could create a barrier to NFL entry.

Four-year starter as a right tackle prospect with the potential to bump inside to guard. Coker is a decent athlete who can mirror the rush and get out into space in the run game, but his lack of core strength could be an issue. He’s unable to generate much push as a drive blocker and can be driven back into the pocket by a strong bull rush or a leveraged stab move. He plays with pretty good technique and quality hand usage, but sustaining his block and neutralizing NFL power merchants still needs proof of concept. Coker will face an uphill battle as either a tackle or guard.
