DRAFT TRACKER 2024

Right out of the gate, Robinson’s physical attributes should give him a potential advantage in head-to-head matchups. He has jarring power in his hands and a twitchy upper body to get rid of blockers quickly. His arm length is a weapon at the point of attack. His play can lack control and awareness at times, but the good outweighs the bad. He’s a good athlete, but his pass rush is predictable. He lacks potent moves and counters as an edge rusher, leaning heavily on force. Robinson’s power and motor increase the chances he becomes a good starting base end who reduces inside on third downs.

Despite six seasons in college, Cole might still be moldable with untapped production lingering. He's tall with exceptionally long arms that allow him to disengage from blocks or eventually work around pass protection. He's not overly instinctive or skilled as a pass rusher, and he had trouble minding the gap against the run when squaring off against bullies on his schedule. With more mass and play strength, Cole might be targeted to rotate as an odd-front end with the athleticism and traits to become a more consistent pass rusher.

Watts is loaded with measurables that teams search for but still light on consistency and skill level as a three-down option. He will flash some edge when popping and pulling blocks or mixing it up with opponents, but he needs to become more proficient at beating blocks in front of him whether as a rusher or run defender. He’s high cut and plays a little too tall, which hurts his ability to impose his size and length with much-needed leverage. There might be upside to develop as a pass rusher, but it could come with even more weight on his frame and from an inside alignment. Watts’ traits will likely get him drafted but he might need a practice-squad year off the bat.

Goodlow has good size and great length but is much more eventual than sudden in his movements. He rarely wins in gaps and is unable to create early threats as an upfield rusher. He’s not a natural knee-bender, so he has a hard time setting a firm anchor at the point of attack. He does have the natural strength to battle and strain. Goodlow is below average as a reduced rusher inside, so he might have to compete for as a backup spot as an odd-front defensive end to make a squad.
