Round 4 • Pick 10
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Former Alabama signee with good size and skill level who finally saw his production spike once he transferred to UCF. Baker looks the part, and his tape will keep growing on you the longer it runs. His play was very natural and instinctive in 2023; he made quality plays on the ball in game after game. He uses speed changes and route leverage to create separation, and he’s at his best working the second and third levels from either inside or outside. The ball skills are NFL-caliber, but the hands will lose focus at times. Baker has the traits and skill level of an NFL receiver and should fight for an eventual shot as a WR3/4.

Round 6 • Pick 28
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Offensive tackle prospect who was throwing for 3,000 yards as a junior in high school. Grable has clearly continued to grow since his quarterback days but still possesses lighter feet that show up in pass protection and out in space. He plays with a narrow strike zone at the point of attack and needs to improve his feel as a positional blocker. He has strong hands and is able to cinch up opponents once he gets inside. His pass protection is decent but can improve with cleaner hand strikes and placement. While he wasn't asked to operate much in such a system at UCF, his best fit might be with a stretch-zone team where he'll offer guard/tackle flexibility.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Plumlee’s passing tape probably won’t be enough to get evaluators excited, but an outside-the-box evaluation creates more intrigue. He lacks size and the arm talent associated with playing quarterback in the NFL, but he has some ability in the pocket. He shines on designed runs and scrambles, where his speed and competitiveness allow him to score touchdowns and move the chains. Teams could choose to use him as a QB3 with gadget potential on short-yardage and red-zone snaps, but learning to run routes could expand his NFL versatility and allow creative play-callers to find a role for him.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Inside linebacker with an average frame but king-sized tackle production over his last three seasons. Johnson plays with a good feel for sifting through blocking schemes and runners’ lane choices. He’s an outstanding tackle-finisher who rarely misses, but he will get himself into trouble by sitting on the second level and allowing blockers to climb into him. He’s adequate in zone coverage but unlikely to be on the field for NFL passing downs. Johnson is smart and extremely productive on special teams, but he’s a little lacking in traits.
