Late and Middle Round Draft Prospects
RB
Joe Williams - Joe is great through the hole with top acceleration. He finds the holes quick without dancing around and has good top speed. He had a 6.7 yard average during his senior year and good measurables. He looks really great on tape, and should be a good starting running back barring problems from his character. He retired from football for two months and has an arrest record. He will need to be interviewed well to determine his dedication to the sport. CBS round projection 6,7
T.J. Logan - He is fast and eats up ground quick with long strides. He has good but not great later agility. He is more of a one cut and go runner. He looks like he could be a strong third down back if he can improve his pass blocking. He should put on some muscle since he doesn't have that much power and a smaller lower body. CBS round projection 5,6.
Justin Davis - He has good acceleration through his cuts and can make some good moves. He has quick feet and quick cuts. He is also a good pass catcher. His measurables are acceptable, and his 3 cone is good. He should put on some weight, but otherwise looks like he could be worthwhile pick, possibly as a 3rd down back. CBS round projection RFA
WR
Taywan Taylor - Hes a mid round prospect. He has a ton of potential. His top speed isn't amazing, but he is very quick and still got open on deep balls quite a bit. He looks very open on many of his catches. He only ran a few routes, so he will need more practice, but he should become a starting second receiver or slot receiver. CBS round projection 3,4
Robert Davis - He has very good size and very good measurables, especially his vertical and broad jumps, which shows explosion. He had good stats but nothing amazing. His routes need work but he has great hands and is great at high pointing the ball. If he can improve his route running, he could become a starting receiver in the NFL. CBS round projection 6
TE
Bucky Hodges - He has both great athletics and great statistics. He looks like a sure thing as a receiving TE. He's another mid round prospect projected to go in the 4th round. I included him because he just looks great. Even if a team doesn't need a TE, he would be a steal in the 4th round. He could learn from the starter and be the eventual starter. He need to improve his route running for sure though and work on his hands a bit.
DT
Grover Stewart - He's a 347lbs NT. He is athletic for his size and is super strong. He needs to work on his technique and his pad level, but if he can consistently attack with lower pads, he could become a force to be reckoned with. He had good production for a man of his size, but it was at lower level competition. He will need to make a big jump to the NFL. Since he's a 6th round projected prospect, he's worth pulling the trigger on.
CB
Shaquill Griffin - He's very athletic, but his top speed isn't elite. He has good coverage and hardly allowed any passes to be completed. He also has many passes broken up. He might have to play the slot or in the cover 2, but he looks like he can develop into a very good CB. He's also a mid round prospect with a projected round of 3.
Ahkello Witherspoon - He has good height and very good athletics. He has many passes broken up and very few passes completed. He doesn't get many interceptions and needs to get a little stronger as well. He's projected to go in the third round.
FS
Branden Leston - He has great athletics and good size. His stats are also good with 90+ tackles for two years and 9 passes broken up his senior year. He's worth definitely pick up since he's projected as a RFA. He has the potential to become a starter.
Jason Thompson - He barely played football and started out as a QB. He is incredibly athletic though and should be taken as a RFA to see if he can be developed into a FS or SS.
