DRAFT TRACKER 2024

Taylor-Demerson might not have the highly coveted measurables that teams will gravitate toward, but he brings plenty of instincts and ball skills. He offers coverage versatility as a split safety, high safety and nickel. He’s quick enough to handle man coverage and plays with outstanding anticipation to steal from quarterbacks who show their cards. His aggression will create some negative plays and his tackling might never be more than average. Taylor-Demerson’s versatility, football IQ and consistent ball production align with what defensive coordinators are looking for and should make him a solid starting defensive back. 

Traits-based safety with limited in-game experience and bumpy tape but impressive flashes. Owens simply hasn't played enough football for one to determine whether or not his apparent mental busts and issues with positioning in the run game will subside with more experience. He's big, physical and rangy with a temperament for striking near the line of scrimmage. He's not ready to handle high safety responsibilities but can be a tough out when he's in position to contest a throw. His A+ special teams potential could buy him time as he continues his schooling as a hybrid linebacker/safety with a higher floor and lower ceiling.
