DRAFT TRACKER 2024

Defensive tackle with below-average mass and length who makes up for it with above-average quickness and a constantly revving engine. Fiske uses sudden hands and nimble feet to whip single blocks. Once he finds daylight, he flies to whoever has the ball. He doesn’t have the anchor to sit down and muddy gaps, so scheme will be important for him. Fiske is a hustle rusher who can win quick or late if opponents don’t play with proper hand usage and match his energy. He lacks ideal measurables but has a chance to become an impact defender.

Kneeland is a former high school tight end and his open-field agility can be seen when he’s pursuing the football around the field. He deals consequential first blows to opponents that often create openings for him to generate movement as a run defender or pass rusher. Teams might drop him in as a 4-3 base end, but he’s actually a more consistent playmaker when he’s standing, surveying and using his athleticism rather than fist-fighting at the point of attack. He’s a forceful rusher with a relatively simple game plan, but he does have enough bend to diversify somewhat. There are some mismatched pieces in his game but he offers toughness and talent to mold.

An explosive cornerback prospect with intoxicating long speed, Lovely fails to fully capitalize on his dynamic athletic traits. His tape can be frustrating, as he simply doesn’t play with enough anticipation or aggression to squeeze the route and jump the throws. He can make up ground when he falls behind and has an instant accelerator to break downhill on throws. Lovely’s athleticism, speed and potential might be worth a look, but he will likely need to show more of a willingness to take chances in coverage before he can earn a roster spot.

Carter might have an untidy positional fit, as he projects somewhere between defensive end and defensive tackle. He gained 12 pounds between the Hula Bowl weigh-in and his pro day, which might signify an attempt to grow his way further inside. He has a powerful strike, with the ability to toss blockers off-balance when he’s flat-footed, but his stiff-legged posture might prevent him from finding enough anchor against downhill drive blockers. He won’t be a productive rusher, but he’s capable of putting pressure on blockers. Carter’s power might buy him time on a practice squad early on.
