DRAFT TRACKER 2024

Pinckney spent six years in college and will turn 25 during the 2024 season. He struggles to beat press, won’t outrun most cornerbacks and is below average as a route runner. However, Pinckney also happens to be an elite contested-catch winner with finishing talent to flip a 50/50 ball in his favor. He is big and strong with an innate understanding of body control and timing to win the catch. He has strong hands and plays with impressive focus and competitive spirit. He might need to pack on weight and convert to an F tight end to have a shot at playing in the league.

Slot target on the next level with rare testing speed but an unpolished skill set as a route-runner. Tipton is tight-hipped and struggles to elude press. His routes are raw but could improve quickly with NFL coaching. His ball skills shine, with an ability to track, create space and lay out for difficult catches. Tipton showed blazing speed at his pro day, but it’s hard to find that same caliber of speed on tape. The ball skills and speed will get him a look, and making a practice squad would be a good first step for him as a developmental project.

Linear receiver with good size but several holes to fill to be a “make-it” prospect at the next level. Keyton played all five seasons at Tennessee, with the bulk of his production landing over the last two seasons. He’s not bad getting off of press coverage, but he’s a build-up runner lacking early acceleration. His route-running and ball skills will need a serious upgrade.

Burgess has the size, testing and production to create some league interest. He thrived against a lower level of competition but plays with a consistently competitive demeanor. His route-running is very raw for a player with his level of experience and his testing numbers don’t really match his movements on tape. However, his pro day performance could earn him a look as an undrafted free agent who might have more to offer at the slot position with additional schooling.

Productive three-year starter who has good size but below-average athletic features. Oliver put the ball in the paint at an impressive rate at Youngstown State, but he isn’t the voracious ball-winner you want him to be. He’ll struggle to get away from coverage on any of the three levels due to a lack of foot quickness, burst and top-end speed, but his ball skills do work in his favor at times. Based on his performance against Ohio State in 2023, it’s clear he’ll be forced to make a living by winning contested catches and that could be a hard sell in the NFL.

Pure speedster with an impressive testing background as an athlete. Unfortunately for Burton, his on-field production never came close to matching his elite athletic traits. He’s too tight-hipped to run a varied route tree, lacks instincts and struggles with his hands whether the catch is contested or not. Still, explosive athletes deserve an extended look and teams might want to take a chance on developing him as a gadget option working deep and short as an undrafted free agent signee.

Long-limbed receiver who might not have the skill set or traits needed to uncover against NFL competition. Rosemy-Jacksaint played with improved ball skills in 2023, which allowed him to tap into his size and length for catch wins. He doesn't have the speed to separate, and his routes are way too labored and sloppy at this stage. While he has the ball skills to compete at the catch point, he will really need to add polish to his game in order to find himself in consideration as a productive pass catcher.
