GAME FILM
​#19 DARRYL TAYLOR VS GEORGIA (2019)

Strengths: He has a robust, fundamental, and reliable tackler with a stable strength grasp. Very powerful with the ability to play in a 3-4 or 4-3 schemed defenses. Display a convenient swim move and sharp dip and rip move and a treasure box full of other tricks. Sparks with a small range of athleticism with a significant bend. He has a good range with the ability to pursue from the backside against the run or screen passes. Versatile and the ability to play on either side of the field when in a standup or three-point stance. Produces immeasurable pressure toward the quarterback and forces the ball out with thunderous chop move. Had the ability to drop back in coverage and the ability to hold against tight-ends on passing downs. 

Weaknesses: He can be inconsistent holding contain at the edge with limited power in his punch. Need to work on better time at the snap of the ball tends to delay at the snap compromising his ability to rush. Create deadlocks when infiltrating the offense against the run—problematic watching him give up on plays, not near his range. Needs to build more power to become an effective bull-rusher. A sense of urgency to get in the backfield leaves him clueless on the chop blocks and stunts.​​

​#94 Alton Robinson VS CLEMSON (2019)

Strengths: He has an immeasurable cerebral ability to measure and examine the run and pass. He has a significant amount of athletism to pursue the runner with enough presence in mind to eliminate any cutback plays. Will complex plays designed to go off-tackle and extend them outside. He does not hesitate to fill the gaps and sacrifice his body, taking on blocks to cause traffic. He has a tremendous explosion first step that will seize the ball carrier promptly. Large and powerful body to complimented quickness to create problems for pass protectors. Has an arsenal of moves to drive past pass protections. Very violent and disruptive with a significant bend to get to the quarterback suddenly.

Weaknesses: He can be a bit undisciplined and overpursues target. Inconsistency with his feet that needs work more. While having such explosiveness off the ball, he requires variety to compliment his speed. Can be a tad stiff while curving out losing his bend. He definitely will profit by combining more strength to develop against the run. His sideline-to-sideline speed is questionable and can work on better angles while in pursuance to the runner.

GAME FILM
#90 Neville Gallimore VS TEXAS (2019)

Strengths: Gallimore has a large solid frame with a stout lower bottom that is ideal for a 3-4 scheme. He has good speed with an explosive first step. For a player of his size,  he can from Point-A to Point-B in a hurry. His initial get off and punch display high power and push the offensive linemen back into the play. His power allows him to variation of moves to set up the blocker and finish off against the run or pressure the quarterback. He has a lethal penetration with excellent hand placement overpowers the blocker. High awareness of stunt blocks and down blocks to still disrupt the blocking schemes. Has a variety of pass rush moves with the club as his master move. He can play the 1-technique or even the 3-technique. Increased his stock with an unbelievable performance at the 2020 NFL Combine.

Weaknesses: He appears to have tight hips that disallow him from getting gaps as a pass rusher. Need to get stronger at the next-level, will get double-teams that he can't sustain at his current weight. Games where he has been at the 3-technique, consistently shot to the A-gaps, leaving the linebackers exposed when he missed.

​#6 Bradlee anae vs usc (2019) 

#6 Bradlee Anae highlights

Strengths: He has a tremendous first step that explodes quickly up the field. When setting the edge, uses full arm extension of his arms. He does not overpursue when setting the edge. Use hands well as a pass rusher and bend well to get underneath to the quarterback. As a pass rusher, he has all the tangibles and creativeness of spin-move, club, chop, rip, and swim moves to his attack. Has the ability to play as a stand-up or three-point stance with the same effect. He averaged player when needed to drop in coverage. 

Weaknesses: He lacks a bull-rush to his repertoire of tricks. He depends on his bag of tricks, and his explosion off the ball limits his counter moves.  While he is on the attack, he needs to develop more to his arsenal. His tackling technique downfield needs some work tends not to finish the tackle. Lacks a lower trunk and can be blown out the play by drive blocks. ​

The fact that he was only considered the 6th best guard in the state at the time tells you more about the depth offensive line talent in the state of Washington than it does about Lemieux. He was recruited by a number of big-name college programs, including Utah, Washington, Boise Stat and Arkansas.

#68 Shane Lemiux vs washington (2019)

Strengths: Has the "mauler" mindset you like in an interior offensive lineman. A physically dominant player who gets off the ball quickly and understands the game. He gets out after linebackers at the second level on running plays. He is a smart player that is coachable, who will not lose his head, nor create a lot of simple-minded mistakes. He identifies and picks up the blitz well. Good team player. Four-year starter with a lot of big games under his belt at a top program. Proper technique, solid footwork, and uses his hands well.​

Weaknesses: He is not the most athletic player, and probably not a player that slides over to tackle except in emergencies. Does not move well in space, could have problems with athletic NFL pass rushers (it was not an issue in college though). Because of his athletic limitations, he is not ideal as a pulling guard on running plays. May not be available when the Rams pick in the second round.

​#23 Jonathan Taylor vs iowa (2019)

#23 jonathans taylor 2019 highlights

Strengths: He is a physical runner that displays strength and balance after contact. He can take a heavy workload and secures the ball. He has a powerful lower body that allows him to run through arm tackles. He is a tough runner who can drive the pile and often land forward after the run. A great short-yardage runner and an excellent goal-line runner.  A good downhill runner who does no dancing, but get north to south. He has a grand vision to get the linebackers to bite and get into the open space. A very patient runner allows his blocking to develop and follow the blockers to hit the correct gaps. He will sacrifice his body as a pass protector and remain square—average receiver out the backfield with gentle soft hands. ​

Weaknesses: He does not possess the explosiveness of running backs and acceleration to get through the second level. He does not have the second gear to run through space and gets typically caught from behind. Runs a bit high in the open field resulting in speed loss. Uses his body more than usual to catch the ball.

​#22 CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE VS ALABAMA

#22 CLYDE EDWARD-HELAIRE HIGHLIGHTS (2019)

Strengths: A very electric and quick running back that produces unbelievable plays. Edwards-Helaire has incredible agility, and cutbacks are very exciting to compliment his start and stop speed up is magnificent. He has an excellent jump-cut through the line of scrimmage and can prepare for the defense to counter. Lower center gravity stays below pad-level and keeps his legs driving through the contact. When he gets contacted, he still maintains his balance shedding off tacklers. Once in the open field, he has enough ability to plan an escape against the second-level defenders. Top-notch skills out of the backfield as a receiver. Has excellent vision and ability to process the blitz in pass protection. Versatile and have the ability to play in any style of offense.

Weaknesses: Not very tall and concern if he can hold up against taller pass rushers. Do not provide an excellent anchor to handle more prominent size rushers. He suffered from lousy hamstring last season never really healed.

GAME FILM
#3 Cam Akers VS Syracuse (2019)

#3 Cam Akers 2019 highlights

Strengths: Akers is running back, who has a symmetrical body that is a robust and compact frame. Akers has an excellent hip base that helps him completes runs with power. Will not hesitate to distribute discipline to approaching defenders. Has an excellent low pad level and demonstrates a mean straight arm. He is a patient runner such as Leveon Bell that can display tremendous explosions with his cuts in and out. He can compromise a lot of the field of the defense. It has much agility with very fluid hips and can cut on the move without losing speed. Demonstrate great balance with the ability to stay upright after contact. Out of the backfield, he is very aware of where he needs to be when protection breaks down.  Can flow out the backfield and turnup field for positive yardage. Process the field well in run zone schemes, or in RPO situations, can play fake and show a good base as a pass protector. Demonstrate and good anchor and use his hands well and as well as his pads. Use as a very productive wildcat quarterback.

Weaknesses: Despite being a dominant inside runner, he has subpar skills as an outside runner. The protection of the ball is a significant concern. He has put the ball on the ground ten times in his three seasons with the Seminoles. He tends to dip his head as a pass protector and will get outsmarted by crafty rushers. His small hands are not soft and causing him to juggle the ball when receiving. Not technically sound when need to reach out for the ball.

GAME FILM
#2 AJ DILLON VS NC State (2019)

#2 AJ Dillon True freshman year

Strengths: Powerful running back that leans forward when runs keeping his legs driving and knees pumping. Like a human wrecking ball can consume hits and dish out the hit too. He attacks the line of scrimmage with a low-pad level and drives his shoulders into the tackler. He has excellent lateral agility with unbelievable breakaway speed at 250-pounds. Has the ability to get to the edge and turnup field. Can play all three downs, have high endurance, and secures the ball. Dishes out a mean straight arm to the defender and not skip a beat—averaged receiver out the backfield who can swing and flat routes and remain productive. ​
​

Weaknesses: In college, Dillon used a heavy load as a workhorse. There will be some concern that he will remain with long-term durability. Took a pounding and may have much wear and tear on the body. He does not have a second move to take alternative run lanes. Pass protection is average and needs to get his feet square to take on blocks.

​#6 devin duvernay vs lsu (2019)

Strengths: Duvernay size as a receiver is impeccable, as he built like a running back. Had elite speed that burns up the playing field and very powerful. Run elegant and crisp routes of the passing tree. Break well off of cuts, and start and stop without losing speed. Very cerebral with the ability to read and expose the coverages. Great reliable hands that do not drop balls. He can take the roof of the defense. Very elusive in the open field with breakaway speed. Break tackles and will lay the boom on the defender before they lay the boom on him.​

Weaknesses: He has a limited catch radius and challenged on how big of a radius can expand. Rely on his speed to get off the line and use no techniques. Duvernay's release is affected by his lack of technique and needs to learn how to fight with his hands to get off. The concern will can he separate from press-coverage at the next level. Not fluid with his hips will generate more precise routes off the breaks.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS
#6 ISAIAH COULTER

Strengths: NFL prototype body that is is very athletic, strength, balance, and great speed. Track background gives the ability to explode off the line to blow past the defender. He has a changeable movement while not breaking speed to burst in his routes — great leaper who attacks the ball at its highest point and with a long catch radius. Fluid with running any routes of the passing tree and ability to tight-rope the sideline. Ability to break tackles and manufacture his way through traffic to expand his yards after the catch. Played well against a higher level of competition, which will transfer over to the next level. ​

Weaknesses: Reading defenses is potentially one of his weakest points; will become a developmental player is his first couple of seasons. He will need to fine-point routes at the next level. Need to be more physical off the line, especially against press coverages to separate from defenders. Need to work on contested passes, including the 50-50 balls.

Antonio Gandy-Golden highlights

Strengths: Has the ability to stretch the field and win contested catches. Does a great job with intermediate routes and securing the ball. Outstanding catch radius and a big body to shield against the defender. Has the ability to break tackles. He is a good blocker with a durable frame and an unstoppable motor. He has excellent, reliable hands that pluck the ball out the air and late from his route. Has a tremendous vertical jump making it impossible for any defender to contest. He will win the majority of the 50/50 balls thrown his direction—good route runner and ability to separate from the defender.

Weaknesses: He does not posse the breaking away speed, despite his athleticism. Need to polish his route running. Lack of plays across the middle questions his concentration vs. toughness. Need to polish his get-off from the line-of-scrimmage. The level of competition is of concern will it translate to the next level.

​#13 Gabriel Davis VS pittsburgh (2019) 

#13 Gabriel Davis highlights

Strengths: A receiver that is lengthy and who has a physical body. Davis has a good burst off the line of scrimmage with breakaway speed. He is a tremendous vertical threat down the field, creating separation down the field, which makes it tough to defend. His body control is insane and has a powerful lower body that allows him to run through tackles. He has small hands but reliable with a noble catch radius. He can adjust his body during his route running. His long arms allow him to be an effective blocker up the field, locking out the defensive backs. 

Weaknesses: Need to increase his route tree for the next level, stop routes, fades, slants, and go routes are limited. Will last long in the league, limiting his playability for not able to run all routes. Uses body consisitently, which created dropped touchdown passes in his career. He will need to adapt to the next level with inbound feet possession. Subpar with 50/50 catches despite great leaping ability.

GAME FILM
​#58 Jonathan Greenard VS MIAMI (2019)

Strengths: Right length and strength to play the EDGE and defined to the run with an enthusiasm motor. Has a transparent rush strategy at the snap of the ball that sets up moves entirely through the game. Has exceptional ability to rip and bend to get underneath the pass protector. He has a noble compact explosion that can get his body in location to attack the play. He can set up inside moves with an enormous explosion and stutter steps off the ball. The ability to attack the edge consistently with a great get off and bend. Has a formidable knack for always going after the ball when tackling.

Weaknesses: When playing in space, he has difficulties with running backs. Because of his exceptional get off, frequently is too fast and catches himself missing the play. He does not have the necessary thrust strength when his pad level becomes levitated, causing it to shift. While transferring his speed to power, he tends to fight with being consistent. The routine of his hand mechanics needs better development at the next level.  ​

Draft Grade: 6.31

Draft Projection: 2nd round

In Uche junior season, he recorded 34 tackles with 8.5 sacks and accounting for two forced fumbles. His senior year, he would make for even better with 50 tackles with 14 sacks and two forced fumbles. These stats were kind enough to, as he regarded as a three-star prospect by Rivals.com. He arrived at Michigan in 2016 and did not play as much. At one point, who complained about not being used. He would get his shot last season when starting EDGE Rashan Gary would go down to an injury. Uche ended his Wolverine career with 56 tackles (20.5 for loss), 16.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles. ​

GAME FILM
​#6 JOSH UCHE VS ILLINOIS (2019)

Strengths: A phenomenon player who has an explosive first step. Has the ability to accentuate the offensive tackle position off the ball on passing plays. He has tremendous athletic ability who can fly all over the field. Has sideline-to-sideline speed and be able to move through space to compromise the offensive plays. He has a remarkable ability to prevail off the edge, with a thunderous bend, twisting through the contact, and still use a repertoire of rips and bends to get through the line—very fluid hips and very flexible to conquer as a pass rusher. A very cerebral player with the ability to read the formations tackles positioning, and still win off the edge with his speed. Just know that he impactful player off the edge, a real playmaker—a productive player who will be a three-down linebacker. Very smooth and comfortable in coverage, very fluid in backpedaling with great depth in zone coverages. He can cover tight-ends and backs out of the backfield one-on-one: impeccable stunting ability, and a dominant on the blitz whether as a standup or hands in the ground.​

Weaknesses: His build is that of an NFL safety and will benefit by bulking up to be productive at the next level. Question will be can his body hold up to the pounding from the bruising NFL tackles. Will need to possed more strength to compliment his speed. There was a point where he engages with bigger lineman, at the point-of-attack, usually find him having to pop back up from the ground. Once blockers are engaged, his struggles to disengage in the run game. For now, his value will be on third-down passing plays or blitz packages. 

Draft Grade: 6.26

Draft Projection: 4th round
