DRAFT TRACKER 2026

A sixth-year senior, Clark’s traits won’t pop but his tape most certainly will. Clark is a coverage-versatile safety in a cornerback’s body with the talent to range over the top or man up on the slot. He plays with an overriding desire to do everything all at once – which produces spectacular takeaways and occasional breakdowns – but the good outweighs the bad. He triggers downhill in run support and tackles with proper technique, but a lack of size could lead to broken tackles/durability concerns. He might need time to acclimate to the speed/skill of his opponents but his instincts and ball skills give him a good chance to punish mistakes on the next level as an alignment-flexible option.

Elarms-Orr is a well-built linebacker with above-average athleticism but problematic instincts. He has the speed and athleticism to get to the football from sideline to sideline. However, he frequently struggles with recognizing blocking schemes and too often loses track of play development. He’s rangy but average in zone coverage, with talent as a blitzer worth continued exploration. He will need improved processing but should dial in as a backup with a full-time role on special teams.

Obiazor is an assignment-sound inside linebacker with good tape and average short-area athletic ability. His box-score output has stayed nearly identical for three straight years, mirroring his week-to-week reliability. He has a high football IQ with decisive, accurate diagnosis and leverages his run fits by slipping blocks or holding firm with his anchor. A lack of ideal short-area quickness and pursuit burst might require Obiazor to take more chances as a pro. He’s a former safety who sees the field clearly but is average in coverage. He profiles as a dependable backup and core special-teamer.

McAlister’s game is built on speed. He can blow by press and off-man looks, finding a second gear both down the field and after the catch. While he gets open vertically, suspect route-running causes issues uncovering on the first two levels. He has trouble muscling up in 50/50 battles, too. McAlister is a body-catcher, so improving that aspect of his game could go a long way in determining whether he’ll be an average backup or larger contributor.

Rogers is an adequate athlete who possesses the play strength and catch-point savvy to compete for a depth-level role. He needs to play with better short-area urgency on routes underneath, but he has the catch radius to bring in off-target and contested throws. While his effort and technique are inconsistent as a run blocker, he flashes the strength/body control to win reps. Rogers is still developing but should be in the conversation as a Day 3 pick.
