DRAFT TRACKER 2024

Undersized slot receiver offering the versatility to create chunk-play opportunities over all three levels. Jackson is slight of frame and plays with slightly below-average competitiveness as a ball-winner when confronted. He has the speed and separation burst to get open but will need to prove he can become a more skillful route runner to uncover against NFL competition. Inconsistent hands are a concern at this stage. Jackson has gadget potential and can compete for a role as a punt returner, but the league is filled with good athletes at the slot, so he will need to find a way to separate from the pack.

Highly experienced and a respected team leader, Pratt has shown consistent improvement from season to season. Pratt has done a nice job of making safe decisions instead of reckless ones and throws with touch over all three levels. He struggles to throw with consistent accuracy and placement on intermediate throws. Also, he appears to lack the anticipation and field awareness to beat NFL coverage across the field. Pratt has Day 3 potential but will be in a battle to win a future backup role.

Monroe’s frame and play strength are easy checkmarks in his favor, but he fails to meet the mark when it comes to the cover talent and athleticism needed to stay at cornerback in the NFL. Monroe looks like a press corner, but he is too impatient and lacks desired balance to stay connected to the release. He plays more confidently from off-man or short-zone looks and frequently takes the ball away when quarterbacks try to fit it in over the top of him. Monroe is too upright and sluggish with change of direction and transitions, but he has the toughness for a team to give him a look as a down safety.

Pines is a girthy guard who has played a high number of snaps over the course of his collegiate career, which included time with Sam Houston State and Baylor. He has long arms and strong hands to maneuver opponents around, and he's powerful enough to neutralize challenges heads-up. He doesn't have enough foot quickness to make lateral blocks and could struggle to play quickly enough to be an effective pulling guard. His length and width give him advantages in redirecting rushers away from the quarterback, but he'll be frequently outmatched against hand-fighters and edge-to-edge interior rushers. Pines' size, length and power work in his favor, but his limitations work sharply against him.
