DRAFT TRACKER 2024

Crum is a very tall tackle with loads of starting experience who has played both tackle spots. He has proportional arm length, which helps in both pass protection and as a run blocker in space. Crum has a difficult time finding the foot quickness to keep his lower body paired with his upper body. He will struggle with speed to the edge in pass protection and when attempting to maintain proper body control to mirror and sustain against moving targets. He's a better run blocker than pass blocker as a pro prospect but might find the going tough in a chase for a roster spot.

Combination tight end who can do a little blocking and a little pass catching. Welch powers through routes with too much aggression and not enough finesse. He competes to win combat catches and shows an ability to go get the off-frame throw. He struggles to separate against tight man coverage and isn’t big enough to sustain run blocks against edge defenders, despite his toughness. Welch should get a shot to compete in a camp even if he goes undrafted.

An edge defender with a fairly productive run at both Wyoming and USC, Byrd fails to stand out physically or athletically on tape. He plays with solid aggression and play strength but finds himself entangled with blockers more than he should. He can be creative when attacking tackles at the top of the rush, but he struggled to get much done when tasked with taking on some of the more talented opponents on the schedule. Byrd possesses certain play features that are worthy of consideration, but he might not have enough above-average qualities to make much of a mark in the league.

Linebacker with average size and good production that doesn't always reflect his consistency of play. Gibbs falls below the cutoff line as an NFL athlete, lacking explosiveness and suddenness in his play. The instincts and paths to the action often create inefficiencies as a run defender, and he doesn't have the athleticism to handle man coverage asks in the passing game. The college production is a nice starting point, but he might not have the athleticism or skill level needed to make a roster.
