DRAFT TRACKER 2025

The right foot injury that cost Oliver all but two games in 2024 could create unsure evaluations. He’s a natural edge rusher with outstanding fluidity and movement talent but lacks the size or length to project there as a three-down player. As an off-ball linebacker in 2023 he flashed the ability to handle the position, but he clearly lacked the seasoning and recognition that can only come with more reps. No matter the alignment, he needs to play with better composure and positioning to handle run reps on his terms and make more tackles. He projects as a designated pass rusher and developmental off-ball linebacker with the ability to jump into a special-teams role.

Big-workload back with a skill set that requires a physical, downhill run scheme. Gordon is tight-hipped and forced to run linear tracks. He plays with adequate decisiveness and interior vision but lacks the agility to cut sharply or slip tackles in tight quarters. When he gets going downhill he becomes a battering ram, slamming through tackles and adding tough yards after contact. He’s good in the screen game and could improve his protection in time. His 2024 production fell off through no fault of his own. Gordon is big and physical and could attract Day 2 attention from teams looking to add a bruiser to a two-back system.

Two-year starter who missed a big chunk of the 2024 season with a knee injury. Martin’s career snap experience is relatively low, but his monstrous 2023 production is eye-catching. He too frequently misreads play design or fails to locate the football, which leads to badly missed run fits. He gets stuck on blocks but has the speed and athleticism to pile up tackles when he stays clean. He can blitz but struggles in coverage, so shining on special teams might be mandatory for Martin to make a team as a backup.

Three-year starting cornerback with good size and great speed. Black played in all coverage schemes but needs more polish in press and off-man. He’s not bad at matching route breaks and releases, and he can be smothering at the catch point when his route anticipation is on. He plays with eye balance and readiness from zone but needs to trust his instincts. His difficulty finding and playing the football with his back to the quarterback is an issue, though. Black appears well worth a Day 3 pick for his traits and tape flashes alone.

Cooper has NFL size and has played as much football as just about any offensive lineman in the entire draft class, but his limitations might lower the ceiling of his pro potential. His pad level and core strength are issues that keep him from anchoring and sustaining enough. Still, the pass protection was good enough on tape to give him a chance to compete for a roster spot, provided he can eliminate or mitigate the waist-bending.

Athletic but undersized center prospect who plays with consistency and a feel for his assignment. Michalski’s first-step quickness creates early advantages as a run blocker, but he might not have enough size to maintain those advantages against pro defenders. He’s smooth in pass protection and is effective in space as a move blocker, but long-armed defenders could put him in a tough spot if singled up in pass protection. Michalski is a feisty competitor with good tape and might be able to compete for a roster spot even though he lacks favorable measurables.
