DRAFT TRACKER 2024

A thin frame combined with questionable long speed could push James inside, where his pattern-matching and short-area athleticism should work to his advantage. James plays with excellent body control and disciplined footwork and is rarely out of position in coverage. He's instinctive with short-area twitch but has generated a little less ball production than expected for his traits. Both zone and man coverage comes naturally, but bigger bodies can give him trouble. Below-average run support will be targeted by play-callers, so that could come into consideration for some teams. James has the athleticism and coverage skills to become a starting nickel within a couple of years.

Long, slender outside corner who might have improved enough in off-man coverage for consideration in most coverage schemes. Pritchett has the length to stall the release and be a route bully underneath. He's fairly comfortable from press and will hug up on double moves and comebacks, using his length to impact throwing windows. He might need safety help over the top, as he can be a little sluggish to flip and sprint deep from his pedal, and his lateral transitions are average, allowing small separations at lateral break points. His size and length will be appealing on Day 2 of the draft, but he needs to become a more consistent tackler in run support to find consistent starting reps.

Long-limbed press corner with physical attributes certain teams are sure to covet. Torrence is a menace from press, where he crouches and jabs the release with relative consistency. He has the tools to smother simple routes but gives away separation at sharper break points. He can stride with deep routes and has the make-up speed to close ground when beaten. He’s not built for mirror-and-match coverage and is very average in deep zones. Torrence can flip the 50/50 ball in his favor but might not have the instincts or ball-tracking to post the production one might expect from a player with his traits. He will be at his best working with limited coverage focus in press-man, but his execution as a tackler is a concern.
