DRAFT TRACKER 2025

Fifth-year senior with three seasons as a full-time starter at Kent State and one at Indiana. West benefited from an extremely active, gaming front that created playmaking opportunities, but he also did the dirty work inside that scheme. He plays with adequate hand and foot quickness and is quick to diagnose the play. A lack of length and leverage at the point of attack might tie him to a one-gapping scheme as a pro. The sack totals are light, but he has enough athletic ability to compete as a rusher on single blocks. West has Day 3 value as a likely three-technique backup.

Tackle/guard prospect with steady game tape. Wedig possesses an NFL frame but will need to add more upper-body power and core strength. He’s an intelligent player with consistent recognition of where to be and what to do. He centers up run blocks and stays connected but is better as a move blocker than he is when asked to drive someone off the ball. Wedig’s pass protection is solid when he’s in position but his lack of length and average slide quickness could have teams pushing him inside to guard, where he will need to prove he’s strong enough to take on NFL defensive tackles.

Walker came to Indiana after three seasons with James Madison and immediately proved he was ready for the jump. He’s a linebacker who is built like a safety, but he can cover on third downs and shine on kick-cover teams. Walker brings solid play recognition and can be a slippery target to find for blockers. He has above-average range and is capable of spying quarterbacks, but downhill running attacks will test his block take-on and tackle strength. His size is a concern, but he has a nose for the football and athletic ability to compete for a role as a special-teamer with nickel linebacker potential.

Rourke earns a draftable grade because of his size, experience and production. He’s coming off an ACL tear, but the injury might not have a major impact on his draft slotting since his game isn’t built on mobility. Rourke’s evaluation requires 2023 tape to get a feel for his delivery and velocity when his knee is stable. While he can make pro throws, the accuracy and placement is average. He’s a decent field-reader who throws with adequate touch and anticipation. Rourke played winning football in 2024 and he’s plenty tough, but he needs to take better care of the football if he wants to stick with an NFL team.

Box-score scouting doesn’t give enough insight into what Williams can bring to the table. He has a limited catch radius but his toughness and hand strength help make up for it. He can run short and intermediate routes as a possession slot receiver but tends to shine when he’s allowed catch-and-run opportunities, where he’s proven very difficult to bring down. Williams is highly competitive and offers kick and punt return potential to enrich his chances of making a roster.

Cornerback whose lack of top-end speed could push him into more of a full-time role in the slot. Minor has had some hamstring issues, which might have contributed to him flying under the radar. Also, his lack of impressive athletic testing numbers and on-ball production didn’t help. He will need to prove he can handle NFL coverage responsibilities and he’ll need to stand out for his run support if he’s going to make an NFL roster.

While Blidi is light in the production categories, there is no doubt that his impressive arm length (34 1/8 inches) and pro-day testing will create some interest. However, despite his burst potential, he doesn’t get into his action quickly enough or with enough explosiveness into contact. His lack of size will be a concern, but he can stack and shed with some effectiveness. Also, he has the athletic ability to get better as a gap shooter. He lacks instincts and consistency as a rusher, which could be a problem since he’s not a natural drain-clogger in the middle.
