DRAFT TRACKER 2025

Press-man cornerback with average speed but excellent length to disrupt game flow for opponents. Thomas deters early looks his way from quarterbacks by jabbing, crowding and smothering the release from press. He lacks route recognition and lateral twitch to stay tight to breaks from off-man. He also needs to develop his instincts and trust his eyes from zone coverage. He has average top-end speed but competes to shrink the receiver’s downfield catch odds using his length and ball skills. He’s more likely to spoil a catch than make a play on the football that results in a turnover, but that could change with more experience. He’s below average in run support, although he improved in that area in 2024. Thomas needs more seasoning, but he could become a good starter within two or three years.

Broad-shouldered interior defender worth consideration as a 3-4 end or a 4-3 interior lineman. Farmer needs to play as a two-gapper who muddies the pocket. He’s powerful, with long arms and strong hands. His anchor is average but should improve if he’s allowed to use that length to gain early control at the point of attack. There is nothing tricky about his rush, but he can jar blockers backward with a single punch. His traits will be coveted but his upside might be as a rotational defender with average starting potential.

Sixth-year senior with fluid feet and above-average athleticism. Cypress is slender-framed and will get jostled around in physical matchups. He’s explosive but doesn’t have the instincts and decisiveness to make enough plays on the football. He’s experienced in both man and zone coverages, and he might have the quickness to bump inside. His issues as a tackler could be a problem for teams considering him as a nickelback, though.

Fitzgerald turned a major corner after an erratic 2022 season and has been a picture of consistency since then. He has proven he can hit the long field goal with consistent lift and ball flight. Fitzgerald needs to improve his hang time on kickoffs and must prove that inconsistencies with intermediate kicks are in the past.

Australian punter who too frequently outkicked his coverage at Florida State. Mastromanno has the leg strength to flip the field but his lack of hang-time allows too many opportunities for punt returners. He punts with adequate touch on placement punts. He’ll need to speed up his operation time and improve his ability to hang punts high to have a chance to stick with an NFL team.
