GAME FILM
​#68 CADE MAYS VS MISSOURI (2021)

Strengths
  • He has excellent size, length, and versatility for any offensive line at the next level.
  • He is downright ugly and nasty as an interior lineman against the run.
  • He has a powerful lower body that allows him to maul against the defender and drive them off the line.
  • He can reach outside, seal the edge with solid hands, and turn the defender on power runs.
  • He has short-area straight-line quickness to get out to the second level of the defenses.
  • He demonstrates excellent balance and patience as a pass protector and keeps a strong punch against the pass rusher.
  • He explodes quickly out of his stance to beat the rusher to his mark.
Weaknesses
  • Despite being a mauler in run blocking, he does not generate good leverage that permits the defender to deflect him off quickly.
  • He struggles to get to the second level on wide-zone run plays, not locating the target due to his stiffness.
  • He shows poor knee bend and stiffness that allows him to get up pad-level and on his toes.
  • He needs to get his punch out quickly to keep the rusher's hands out of his chest, which tends him to get pushed back into passing lanes.
  • He will struggle against stunts and lacks blitz recognition from the second level.

Draft Projection: 5th Round

GAME FILM
#5 velus jones jr VS SOUTH CAROLINA (2021)

#1 Velus jones highlights (2021)

Strengths
  • He is a dynamic and swiss army knife-style receiver equipped with blazing speed, power, and a physical frame.
  • He is an explosive receiver with excellent elite speed, shiftiness, and power.
  • He will beat press coverages off the line of scrimmage
  • A good route technician who uses his speed cuts, not losing balance.
  • He is dangerous in the open field with the ball and will navigate through traffic.
  • He uses his solid frame to run through arm tackles and has a great knack to lower his body to push forward for extra yardage.
  • He offers a lot as a run blocker and in the screen game.
  • He has excellent soft hands that generally catch every ball thrown to him.
  • He tracks the ball well in the air and has the flexibility to make some of the most challenging catches.
  • Double down as a dangerous kick and punt returner that will keep the crowd on the edge of their seat.

​Weaknesses: 
  • He is one of the oldest receivers in the draft after spending six years at the college level turning 25 years of age.
  • He only played as a slot receiver and will offer a little as an outside receiver.
  • He does not poise as a cerebral player as he will get confused against coverages. 
  • He generally uses the same combo step or stutters off the line of scrimmage to develop separation.
  • He runs a limited route tree and will need to revamp his arsenal of routes.
  • NFL defenses can take him out of the game by press coverage and single side safety up top or cover two to eliminate his deep threat speed.

#72 alec lindstrom vs clemson

#72 alec lindstrom highlights

Strengths
  • He is athletic, with quick feet to block against a defender on the move and in space.
  • He can play well in gap schemes to help or pass down his rusher to climb out to the defender.
  • He is relatively average in combo blocking, but he is one of the best as a seal and drive blocker.
  • He is a cerebral player who can make checks and front protection at the line of scrimmage.
  • He keeps his head on a swivel in pass protection to locate blitzing linebackers or safeties, twist, and overloaded protection front.
  • He knows how to place his hands in the proper positioning to impede the rusher quickly and can mirror them too. 
  • He plays aggressively and hard until the whistle blows.

Weaknesses
  • He needs to add body mass to his frame, which is a bit under-sized.
  • He plays above the pad level, allowing the defender to set the leverage.
  • He needs to get stronger and not allow big-bodied defenders to push him around.
  • He will lean instead of the knee bend at the waist with his high center of gravity.
  • He does not stay balanced and depends on his technique to compensate.
  • He is slowly getting off at the snap allowing gap penetration from the defense.
  • He is refined to the center position only and will need to add some versatility.

#7 coby bryant vs ucf (2021)

#7 coby bryant career highlights

Strengths 
  • ​He is a versatile and athletic defensive back that can play both cornerback and safety positions.
  • He is very smooth with fluid hips and can come out of his backpedal and breaks.
  • He is one of a few lock corner who can be effective in press coverages.
  • He is a very disciplined player; he maintains his patience, will not bite on double moves and will attack his prey! 
  • He rarely allows a receiver to eat up his cushion and lock onto the receiver's hips in their routes.
  • He uses excellent anticipation, with the ability to beat the receiver to their mark in their route.
  • He has very active hands, where he will pinpoint the ball at its highest point to knock it away.
  • He has a knack for ripping or punching out the ball.
  • He is excellent in the open field as a tackler; he flies downhill hard to assist in run support.

​Weaknesses
  • In run support, he tends to fly downhill too fast and will lunge low to make the tackle.
  • He struggles to disengage from blocks to get to the ball.
  • He is susceptible to quick screens and bubble routes, allowing extra yards after the catch.
  • He often uses his off-hand on plays defending; physical receivers will use that to their advantage and the next level.

#4 Thomas booker vs stanford (2021)

Strengths
  • He is versatile, athletic, quick, with good agility, and has a nice solid frame for the defensive line.
  • His versatility allows him to play the defensive line positions as a 1-tech, 3-tech, and some 5-tech alignments; he also could plugin as a defensive tackle in a 4-3 alignment.
  • His short-area burst of speed the displayed nicely at the 2022 NFL Combine with a 4.94 40-yard dash and 4.41 shuttle run.
  • His quickness allows him to have a substantial get-off at the snap of the ball.
  • He shows fair agility when needed to move laterally across the field.
  • He has good strength from his upper body that connects long arms to withstand blockers from getting into his chest. 
  • He has very big hands, with a strong grip that enables him to manipulate the flow of the blockers counter
​
Weaknesses
  • He lacks the high motor and tends to give up on plays outside of his gap integrity.
  • He will struggle at times with bigger linemen disengaging from blocks.
  • He demonstrates some stiffness in his torso and lacks the flexibility to be outside the B-gaps.
  • He struggles to recognize double-team blocks or switches of blocking assignments.
  • He needs to get stronger in his trunk; double-team blocks bury him right out of the play.
  • He struggled to get sacks and will need to improve his pass-rushing skills.
  • At the 5-tech, he does not get a great bend, which allows the blockers to control his path.

​#5 leo Chenal vs notre dame (2021)

#5 leo CHENAL HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths
  • He is talented and significantly athletic, which surprised many at the 2022 NFL Combine.
  • He ran low 4.5 in the forty, and his jumps were stunning at 40½ and 128-inches which signifies that he has a powerful lower body.
  • He is a very spontaneous player who showed up all across the field in the film study.
  • He is a phenom against the run, who will maintain his base and not give up ground while contributing to making the tackle.
  • He has exceptional toughness, willing to take on lead blocks and scrape off to make tackles.
  • He has a quick burst of speed with sideline-to-sideline speed to make tackles.
  • He has excellent closing speed and uses good leverage to get underneath blocks to sustain tackles.
  • He has excellent pass rush capabilities and establishes severe pressure inside the A-gaps to disrupt the timing of plays.

Weaknesses
  • He does not fully control his body with speed as he struggles to redirect.
  • He struggles to read recognition of plays and will bite on play-action pass plays.
  • He does have great vision as he will struggle to navigate through traffic.
  • He needs to improve on coverage skills downfield and tends to lose his assignment.
  • He has shorter than normal arms that will cost him to defend in tight coverage.

#99 DRAKE JACKSON HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths
  • He is an athletic and versatile player who can play the EDGE, outside linebacker, or defensive end.
  • He is very agile and shows no signs of immobility in his movement
  • He is fast off the edge with a tremendous burst of speed.
  • His athleticism allows him to be creative on the rush, as he is so forever dangerous crashing the inside games.
  • He uses excellent rip and spin moves to beat the blocker in front of him.
  • He uses a dip move to get underneath the blockers to get home to the quarterback.

Weaknesses
  • He will need to get stronger on the defensive side of the ball and 10 pounds of muscle mass.
  • He lacks the power and strength needed at the point of attack to fight through traffic.
  • He eats many blocks and struggles to disengage from the blocker, subsequently getting washed out of the play.
  • He will need to develop better pass-rushing moves; one-trick pony moves will not work at the next level

#4 JAMES COOK 2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths
  • He is a shifty and smooth running back who glides when he runs. 
  • He has excellent speed and uses his shiftiness to cut back and explode through the open hole.
  • He knows he is slippery in the tights spaces and knows how to get skinny for extra yardage.
  • He is a weapon out of the backfield; he has excellent soft hands to catch the ball all over the field.
  • He runs fluid routes, can line up out wide, and gets open in the passing tree.
  • He is a mismatch problem; he will defeat most linebackers one-on-one and beat them deep on vertical plays.

Weaknesses
  • He does not break tackles and will go down after the first contact.
  • He is not very physical and does not run angry when he needs to be angry.
  • He has an upside-run style that allows immediate targets by the defender. 
  • He will avoid most contact and will run out of bounds.
  • Durability question, can he hold on to the ball after minimum carries.

​#44 TRAVON WALKER VS kentucky (2021)

#44 travon walker highlights

Strengths
  • He is a fast, athletic, freakish, versatile, explosive, powerful, and crafty defensive lineman in this draft.
  • He creates substantial mismatches wherever he lines up on the defensive line.
  • He plays with a competitive ego, with a powerful motor at all times to pursue all over the field. 
  • He is incredibly explosive as an EDGE rusher as he uses profound speed to power to blow past the offensive tackles. 
  • He is fast, as he creates mismatch lining up at the defensive tackles and end position combining his speed and power to bullrush the blocker back into the backfield.
  • He uses his hands actively to shed blocks, countering against the blockers
           to apply pressure to play.
  • He will play tough against the run as he penetrates through the run gaps to blow up plays.
  • He has excellent recognition and vision; he will identify the run from the pass and can disrupt with pressure. ​
​
Weaknesses:
  • He will tend to rely on his speed to power to dominate his blocker and get above his pad level and forget his punch.
  • He has no counter moves once getting stalled by a more effective blocker.
  • He will need to find better pass rushing moves for the next level
  • He does have a great bend from the EDGE and lacks the flexibility in his hips to establish the bend.
  • He showed only one year of production, and will he continue to have it translate to the next level.

#16 Lewis cine vs alabama BCS championship (2022)

#16 Lewis cine highlights

Strengths
  • He is a cerebral all-around player with an elevated football IQ that will provide an immediate upgrade to most defensive backfields
  • He increased his stock at the 2022 NFL Combine with his 40-yard time and jumps.
  • His speed, power, movement skills, and versatility tested off the chart, as he demonstrated how he would be a speedy defender at the next level.
  • He can plug in at the strong or free safety positions with his skill set and versatility.
  • He is an excellent tackler who can perform in the box as the eighth man and can come and lay the wood.
  • He is dependable in the defensive backfield in man coverages, can cover the tight end positions, play outside on the bigger receivers, and even had success in the slot.
  • He is incredibly unbelievable in zone coverages as he can track the ball and make plays on the ball in the air.

Weaknesses
  • He struggled to disengage off blocks outside the tackles and allowed big runs without containment.
  • He needs to work on his footwork; too many extra steps and poor hip spin cause him not to redirect smoothly.
  • He can become indecisive at a time, forcing him to think wrong and not react promptly.
  • He gambles on his athletic ability one time too many and often gets out of position.
  • His aggressiveness will force him to miss tackles or be early on coverages prompting penalties.

#11 amare' barno vs wvu (2021)

#11 Amare' Barno highlights

Strengths
  • He is a speedy EDGE that can be freakish from outside.
  • He has a nice frame with adequate length and long arms.
  • He is very athletic and versatile to use his length with excellent strength; he uses leverage at the point of attack. 
  • He is very explosive off the edge with crazy speed
  • He recognizes plays well with great vision and will keep his eyes on the backfield while rushing.
  • He is a hunter with excellent closing speed to chase down his prey with sideline-to-sideline speed.
  • A former safety has quick hands that are aggressive to bat down passes and has coverage kills.
  • Ran fastest 40 at the NFL Combine for defensive linemen, turned a few heads to increase his stock.

Weaknesses 
  • He will need to add more muscle mass to his frame. 
  • He is undersized, as more significant and vital linemen will blow him out of the play.
  • He needs to work on pass-rushing moves; he struggles to disengage off blocks.
  • He needs to learn to use his long arms to his advantage to shed blocks.
  • He will get erratic and play above the pad level.

GAME FILM
#5 KAIIR ELAM VS ALABAMA (2021)

​#5 KAIIR ELAM HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths
  • He has excellent size, length, speed, and strength to compete in press coverage at the next level.
  • He uses his speed to stay glued to the receivers' hip pocket, as he can run their routes from their side to side.
  • He is very silky and fluid in his hips as he can open up his hips fast and smoothly adjust during the route.
  • He has excellent vision, and his cerebral skills help him with the receiver's route recognition.
  • His strength allows him to play against the bigger receivers and can jam them at the line of scrimmage in press coverages.
  • He is a ballhawk who is a threat no matter where on the field to intercept the ball.
  • He is physical and challenges the ball at the catch point, actively his hands punching at the ball, even on 50/50 passes.
  • He can play in most coverages, whether man or zone coverages.
  • He does not shy away from tackling and will fly downhill fast to blow up the run or screen passes.

Weaknesses
  • His production this past season slid significantly with his approach leaving him off the All-SEC teams.
  • He struggled against the quicker and faster receivers off the line of scrimmage in man coverage; they frequently beat him off the line as he looked to recover. 
  • He allows too much separation at the top of the route from the receivers as they clobber his cushion.
  • He will pull and tug at the receiver when he gets beat off the line.
  • He frequently takes poor angles to the ball and can be inconsistent in tackles.

  • He has versatility as he can play the 1-tech or 3-tech and create upfront blocking destruction for the offensive linemen.
  • He can provide pressure as a rusher inside or outside interior defensive positions.
  • He will use a variety of pass-rushing moves, bullrush, dip and rip, and a mighty club from outside.

Weaknesses

  • He does not have the necessary strength to fight off blocks and make the required tackle.
  • He does not use his arms for leverage and cannot disengage from the block as he will be moved around by the linemen.
  • Offenses will run power-run plays directly at him as he will need to figure out a plan to stop the run.
  • He will be nothing but a pass rush specialist if not fixed.​

  • He lacks the ideal speed for the next level, preventing him from being a three-down back. 
  • He tends to run upright to prevent himself from hitting the holes faster at the next level.
  • Uses cutback moves too often, which will result in unnecessary turnovers.
  • He probably will struggle against faster and blitzing defenses.

Draft Projection: 2nd - 4th Round

NFL Comparison: T.J. Yeldon, (Buffalo Bills)
