Report: Patriots to host All-American defensive back for pre-draft Top-30 visit
With the NFL Draft less than a month away, teams are starting to narrow down their list of prospects. That process including having a limited number of players visit team facilities for what are known as ‘Top-30 visits.’ As the name suggests, each team is limited to 30 such meetings per year.
Over the weekend, we got one of the first reports of a Patriots Top-30 visit. According to Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, the team will host Houston defensive back and return specialist Marcus Jones in the coming days. This comes just a few days after the Patriots had a scout at the Houston Pro Day.
At 5-foot-8, 174 pounds, Jones projects as a slot cornerback. He has both the straight-line speed and short-area agility to stick with NFL receivers right away. However, his lack of size may limit his contributions as a run defender. Down the road, Jones may be able to contribute some snaps at safety as well as slot corner.
In his final year at Houston Jones showed tremendous production with 13 pass breakups, and an AAC-best five interceptions. Following the season, Jones was named a consensus All-American defensive back.
However, Jones’ game extends beyond the defensive side of the ball. He’s been one of the best kick returners in college football since his freshman year at Troy in 2018 (he transferred to Houston before the 2020 season). In 2021 alone, he averaged 34 yards per kick return 14.4 yards per punt return, with two touchdowns in each category. He had nine total return touchdowns in his collegiate career – six on kickoffs and three on punts.
Jones’ quickness and shifty running style make him look like a natural with the ball in his hands. In fact, Houston even occasionally had him play on the offensive side of the ball – he caught 10 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown last year.
As things stand now, Jones is projected to go late on Day 2 in this year’s draft. The Patriots currently own the 85th pick, which would be right towards the top of Jones’ expected range.

Meeting: Virtual
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 304 pounds
Experience: 48 starts in four years, 34 at tackle, 14 at center
Career accolades: All-ACC First Team (2021)
Scouting report: “Center prospect who spent the last two seasons at left tackle. Tom was extremely impressive in pass protection at tackle despite a lack of desired size or length, but he’s likely headed back to center in the pros. He plays with technique and plus body control, but his aggression level is a little lacking in the run game and his mass is below average. Tom could be a priority for teams with leaky interior protection. He has Day 3 value as an above-average backup with eventual starting potential.” (Source)

Career accolades: All-ACC First Team (2021)
Scouting report: “North and south runner that has home run hitting ability. Durant is a solid college back that should have an NFL future. His ability to find holes and hit them with speed will keep him in the eyes of NFL evaluators.” (Source)

Career accolades: All-Pac-12 Second Team Defense (2021, 2020), All-Pac-12 First Team Special Teams (2020)
Scouting report: “Defensive tackle with pretty good flashes but a lack of consistency that can be frustrating to watch. Booker has a thick frame and pretty good upper-body power but is unable to plant a post leg and hold his ground against edge pressure or double teams. He’s strong enough to punch and separate but arm length might be the culprit in his inability to rid himself of blocks on a consistent basis. He’s a decent athlete with some rush potential and could be a rotational player for a team employing multiple fronts.” (Source)
Projected pick: Middle Day 3

Career accolades: All-American Second Team (2021), All-Sun Belt First Team (2021, 2020), All-Sun Belt Third Team (2019)
Scouting report: “Tight end prospect with an intangibles profile and positional traits that make him projectable to the next level. Likely was a winner in high school and played a pivotal role in the ascension of Coastal Carolina over the past two seasons. He lacks a prototypical tight end frame and is an inconsistent blocker, but he runs well and filled up his career stat sheet with big plays. It could take Likely a year or two to find his footing against stronger, faster coverage, but he has the tools to uncover against NFL coverage as an ‘F’ tight end.” (Source)
Projected pick: Late Day 2-Early Day 3

Meeting: Top-30 visit
Height: 6-foot-7
Weight: 305 pounds
Experience: 18 starts at left tackle between 2020-2021, played 26 games with 11 starts as a tight end from 2018-2019
Career accolades: All-American Second Team (2021), All-MAC First Team (2021)
Scouting report: “With alluring athleticism and an impressive skill set, Raimann is just scratching the surface of his potential. His initial transition from tight end to left tackle occurred in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, making his rapid transformation fairly remarkable. He is a much better technician than he should be at this stage, but his approach is also mechanical and he could struggle against sophisticated edge defenders until he learns to diversify his pass sets and hand usage. Raimann’s instincts and fundamentals at the position are still in a developmental phase so bumps in the road are expected, but his best football is ahead of him and he should become a long-time starter at left tackle.” (Source)

Weight: 210 pounds
2021 production: 10 games, 66.4% completions, 3,033 yards, 6.83 yards per attempt, 23 TDs, 14 INTs, 402 rushing yards, 3.6 yards per carry, 7 TDs
Career accolades: Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year (2021), All-Ivy League First Team (2019, 2021)
Scouting report: “Productive quarterback who became a dual-threat playmaker against Ivy League competition. Perry has average size and arm strength but below-average mechanics and consistency as a passer. He doesn’t value the football enough as a decision-maker and lacks a desired level of ball placement. His toughness and talent as a runner create attention, as teams might ask Perry to add a few more pounds in order to see if he can become a valuable Swiss Army Knife who’s able to help at a variety of positions, including special teams.” (Source)

OL Tyler Vrabel, Boston College

Meeting:Pre-draft visit
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 307 pounds
Experience: Three-year starter, two at left tackle one at right tackle, 36 games total
Scouting report: “The son of Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, Tyler Vrabel was a three-year starter for Boston College with two seasons spent at left tackle and one at right tackle. Vrabel is a physical and aggressive blocker that functions with good timing and is proficient at both left and right tackle. He has good block temperament and power in the run game and his footwork is sound in pass protection. Overall, he is a good athlete for the position with sufficient lateral movement skills. The main areas of concern for Vrabel and his projection to the NFL is that he needs to play with better bend, be careful about overextending, and not duck his head on contact in the run game. He has poor posture and tends to get top-heavy and gets caught leaning. There are frequent enough instances with him getting outreached that brings into question his length and that could lead to a transition to guard at the next level. It would be unsurprising for Vrabel to develop into a starter or quality reserve but he has some concerns to iron out so that he can reach his potential.” (Source)

Meeting: Pre-draft workout
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 191 pounds
2021 production: 9 games, 34 tackles, 1 INT, 2 PBUs
Scouting report: “Big defensive back with below-average body control, balance and overall coverage traits. Thompson has build-up speed but lacks short-area burst and instincts to put himself in position to make many plays on the football. He’s better off playing bump-and-run coverage over zone if he stays at cornerback, but his limitations and measurables make a move to safety his best opportunity to make an NFL club in the future.” (Source)

Meeting: Top-30 visit
Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 190 pounds
2021 production: 15 games, 728 rushing yards, 6.4 yards per carry, 7 TDs, 27 catches, 284 receiving yards, 4 receiving TDs
Scouting report: “Change-of-pace runner with vision and flow but a lack of functional play strength. The younger brother of Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, James has his brother’s one-cut talent and ability to stack cuts seamlessly through the second level. However, he is missing his big brother’s build, contact balance and toughness between the tackles, which will surely cap expectations and asks from an NFL club. His slashing style fits with outside zone and toss plays. He can also be used as a mismatch option as a pass-catcher. Cook has big-play ability but is unlikely to see his carry count get very high.” (Source)
Projected pick: 3rd-4th round

Weight: 180 pounds
2021 production: 10 games, 34 tackles, 6 PBUs
Career accolades: All-Pac-12 Second Team (2017, 2020)
Scouting report: “Slender boundary corner with an enormous amount of football snaps in his background. Lucas plays in off coverages, which is likely for the best considering his lack of strength and long speed. He typically trusts his eyes and has the traits to make plays on the football. He plays with adequate footwork to pedal and match basic routes but struggles to stay connected to more complex routes, as his body control and change of direction let him down. His lack of size will make him a target against both the run and pass at the next level. Lucas projects as a late-round pick or undrafted free agent who could struggle to find NFL work.” (Source)
Projected pick: Mid-Day 3

Height: 5-foot-10
Weight: 221 pounds
2021 production: 10 games, 68 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks, 3 INTs, 3 PBUs
Scouting report: “Butler trimmed down and became a faster, more impactful player with increased range and better coverage. The three-time captain is the heart and soul of his defense and flies around looking to make a hit. He’s inconsistent at diagnosing the play, and his lack of length and poise stymie his finishing rate as a tackler. Butler’s toughness, cover talent and potential to help on special teams gives him a shot to make a squad despite his lack of physical traits.” (Source)

Career accolades: All-American Third Team (2021), All-Pac-12 First Team (2021), All-Pac-12 Second Team (2020)
Scouting report: “Three-year starter whose average size is overshadowed by skillful ruggedness, allowing him to contest throws from a variety of coverages. He’s an elite competitor with a route-hugging mentality fueled by body control, foot agility, aggression and burst. He’s a pesky press-man defender with the tools to excel in zone. He’s willing to fly downhill and hit anybody near the football. He keeps his eyes on the prize and has an itchy, twitchy trigger to close throwing windows and make plays on the ball. He lacks lockdown traits but has lockdown talent and his competitive energy is contagious. He can play outside or from the slot and carries a very high floor with the potential to become one of the league’s top corners at some point during his first contract.” (Source)

2021 production: 11 games, 37 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 3 INTs, 5 PBUs
Career accolades: All-ACC First Team (2021), All-ACC Second Team (2020)
Scouting report: “A press/zone combo corner with good size and length, Booth plays with an urgent, competitive nature. He has the strength, balance and foot agility to press and slow the release. He has limited starting experience, though. He will need more development to prevent route specialists from manipulating his feet and hips. Booth has the ball-tracking and play strength to find and maintain top-dog positioning through catch tries. He’s more effective in off coverage underneath than tight man. He needs to play more football, but his ball-hawking instincts, burst to close and toughness in run support will be very appealing for zone teams looking for an upgrade at cornerback.” (Source)

Experience: 35 starts over three years, primarily at left guard
Career accolades: Consensus All-American (2020, 2021), All-SEC First Team (2021), All-SEC Second Team (2020)
Scouting report: “Guard prospect with NFL-ready frame who plays with an impressive level of consistency as a run blocker. Green moves defenders from Point A to Point B against their will, using hand technique and road-grading leg drive. He possesses adequate foot quickness to operate in a variety of run schemes, but needs to eliminate his tendency to grab when his opponent is slipping away from the block. He has pop and anchor in pass protection, but lacks recognition and mirror technique needed to be at his best against athletic interior rushers. While green has some areas to improve, his run blocking can be dominant, which gives him a chance to become a good starter very quickly.” (Source)

Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 229 pounds
2021 production: 15 games, 72 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 6 sacks, 2 INTs, 5 PBUs, 2 FFs
Career accolades: Consensus All-American (2021), All-SEC First Team (2021), Butkus Award (2021)
Scouting report: “Explosive, three-down linebacker with the demeanor and quickness to become a volume tackler while holding down third-down duties at a high level. Dean’s play recognition is a work in progress, which limits reaction time and forces him to deal with more blockers than he’ll see as he gains more experience. Quick feet and plus agility will bring him to ball-carriers at a high rate but a lack of size and length means he’ll need to fine-tune his approach as a tackler to make sure he finishes what he starts. He might lack measurables, but he has the toughness and technique to see a boost in his performance once his play becomes more proactive.” (Source)

CB Jack Jones, Arizona State

Meeting: Top-30 visit
Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 171 pounds
2021 production: 11 games, 41 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 3 INTs, 6 PBUs, 3 FFs
Scouting report: “A highly coveted recruit coming out of Long Beach Poly High School, Jones initially attended USC and started all 14 games in his sophomore season, leading the Trojans with four interceptions. But following that breakout season, Jones was ruled academically ineligible and then arrested for breaking into a restaurant after hours, eventually pleading guilty to a second-degree misdemeanor charge of commercial burglary. After spending a year in junior college, Jones enrolled at Arizona State. Earning All-Pac-12 honorable mention honors in 2019 and 2021, Jones was limited to one game in 2020 due to a suspension for violating team rules. As a player, he’s a ball-hawking cornerback with playmaking instincts. Despite solid ball production, though, Jones also gave up a lot of touchdowns at the college level. His lack of size/strength should make technique a top priority, as his talent for finding the football won’t matter as much if he can’t get on the field. Jones could be a late Day 3 selection, but physical deficiencies are working against him.” (Source)
Projected pick: Late Day 3/Priority UDFA
OT Trevor Penning, Northern Iowa

Meeting: Top-30 visit
Height: 6-foot-7
Weight: 325 pounds
Experience: 33 starts in four seasons, primarily at left tackle
Career accolades: All-MVFC First Team (2021), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “Three-year starter at left tackle with outstanding measurables on a low-cut, well-built frame. Penning plays with a level of disgust for anyone lining up against him and seeks out violent block finishes when possible. He’s athletic enough to block on the move and has the potential to shine as a powerful drive blocker. Size, length and know-how have been more than enough to ward off FCS pass rushers, but he needs to operate with better inside-out positioning while developing much firmer edges to succeed against a more talented group of quarterback hunters. Penning has both traits and toughness but the tape can leave you wanting just a little more from him. He should become an instant starter at left or right tackle but the jump in competition will take time to navigate.” (Source)

Career accolades: All-AAC Second-Team (2018)
Scouting report: “King simply falls too far below the quarterback threshold considering his level of play wasn’t good enough to create an exception for his size. He hasn’t played receiver since 2017 but appeared to be more than capable at the position when asked to play it. He’s well-built for a role as a slot but needs to train for better short-area quickness and route running. His ability to run RPO and zone-read packages could be enticing for teams looking to create as many options as possible for their offense.” (Source)

Career accolades: Consensus All-American First Team defensive back (2021), All-AAC First Team returner (2020, 2021), All-AAC Second Team defensive back (2021), AAC Special Teams Player of the Year (2021), Paul Hornung Award (2021), All-Sun Belt Second Team defensive back (2018), All-Sun Belt First Team returner (2018), All-Sun Belt Second Team returner (2017), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “Projects as a twitchy, undersized slot cornerback with playmaking traits and game-changing return talent. Jones has the hips and feet to cover slippery slot receivers and the ballhawking instincts to make plays from zone. He can be too reliant on his athletic ability. He needs to play with better discipline and route anticipation as a pro. He can be mismatched against size but he’s plenty scrappy in those battles. Jones’ lack of size will hurt him with some teams while others will elevate his grade thanks to his electric ability on special teams. There could be teams that look to give him reps at receiver, where he would have more big-play opportunities.” (Source)

Scouting report: “The phrase “phone booth guard” was made for Johnson thanks to his wide, girthy frame and immense playing power. Johnson has experience at tackle, but he’s clearly an interior blocker on the next level. He has knock-back pop at the point of attack with the ability to win the block in a test of strength. In space, his limitations become obvious. He’ll need to fit into the right scheme that takes advantage of what he does well and diminishes the athletic limitations. He has a ceiling of starting guard in the NFL, but his ability to deal with the athleticism of NFL defensive linemen on all three downs is a concern both as a run blocker and in pass protection.” (Source)

2021 production: 12 games, 77 receptions, 1,117 yards, 7 TDs, 9 punt returns, 115 yards
Career accolades: All-Mountain West First Team (2021), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “A coach’s dream, combining competitive nature, exciting versatility and elite character on and off the field. For a short-armed player with average explosiveness, Shakir puts an emphatic stamp on games. He’s more football player than prototypical slot receiver and needs to prove he can handle an increase in contested catches. He can be activated from a variety of alignments with the vision, wiggle and toughness to move the chains once the ball is in his hands. He finds a way to frequently show up on the notepad when watching tape and his will to outperform the guy across from him should not be overlooked. Shakir should become a valuable piece for a creative play-caller.” (Source)

Career accolades: All-MAC First Team (2021)
Scouting report: “Productive three-year starter with decent athleticism and good ball skills but just average separation potential. Moore is courageous working into the teeth of the defense and tenacious to come up with contested catches from anywhere on the field. He’s a one-note route-runner lacking acceleration out of break points but showed off impressive vertical speed at the NFL Scouting Combine. His ball skills and toughness create opportunities as a reliable target and capable route-runner from release to whistle. His best fit is from the slot, but long-term success will depend on his ability to keep fine-tuning his craft.” (Source)

Career accolades: All-Big Ten Third Team (2021), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “Center prospect with a lack of desired measurables and position versatility that could cap his draft value. Jurgens is quick with above-average athleticism but needs to harness his energy and play with better control in the early stages of the rep to improve his strike zone and success rate. He’s a bit of a leaner in pass protection and could struggle to find his anchor against rugged bull rushers. He can play in a variety of run schemes but has average backup talent.” (Source)

Career accolades: All-American First Team (2021), All-Pac-12 First Team (2021, 2020), Pat Tillman Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year Award (2021), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “Highly productive and highly physical, Lloyd could create interesting discussions in draft rooms as teams work through his process versus production. Lloyd can be a little inconsistent with early diagnosis and fit recognition and unorthodox in how he flows to the football. With that said, he has a stat sheet full of production in every major category, including 43 tackles for loss over the last three seasons. He plays with the willful demeanor of an NFL alpha linebacker and is sneaky talented as a rusher either blitzing or aligning off the edge. Lloyd will make plenty of plays and should become a good starter as an inside or strong-side linebacker, but inconsistent process could limit his consistency.” (Source)

LB Christian Harris, Alabama

Meeting: NFL Combine
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 232 pounds
2021 production: 15 games, 80 tackles (45 solo), 11.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, 3 PBUs, 2 FF
Career accolades: All-SEC Freshman First Team (2019)
Scouting report: “Long, athletic inside linebacker whose strengths and weaknesses could make him a target for a move outside. Harris’ lack of desired recognition will result in missteps and mistakes that could prove much more costly on the NFL level. However, he could thrive as a chase-and-hit, weakside linebacker, where he can play faster. He can handle some coverage chores but it’s not his strong suit. Harris has the physical attributes and athletic ability to make plays as an eventual starter but he might lack three-down versatility.” (Source)
Projected pick: Early 2nd round

Meeting: NFL Combine
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 250 pounds
2021 production: 10 games, 37 tackles (23solo), 8 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 1 INT, 1 PBU, 1 FF, 1 FR
Career accolades: All-Pac-12 Second Team (2019-2021)
Scouting report: “Jackson lacks play strength but has the frame to add muscle and mass. He’s a loose-limbed, restless pass rusher with the activity level to find angles and openings in both his primary and secondary rush. However, he lacks successful counters to do it consistently against stronger tackles. Jackson also lacks the take-on toughness and functional anchor needed to hold up at the point on run downs. He has developmental rush potential, but needs a major upgrade in grit and technique against the run.” (Source)
Projected pick: 2nd round
ILB Quay Walker, Georgia

Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 240 pounds
2021 production: 13 games, 65 tackles (37 solo), 5.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 3 PBUs, 1 FR
Career accolades: Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “Walker had to wait his turn at Georgia, but he has become a well-schooled, instinctive linebacker ready for the NFL game. He has good size and clear eyes from the second level, with a talent for recognizing play design. He plays disciplined, team-oriented football but is unlikely to become a top-level playmaker as a pro. His chase speed and body control are just average when ranging to tackle or covering in space. Walker is dependable and consistent and projects as a good backup with eventual starter potential at inside linebacker.” (Source)
Projected pick: Mid-Day 2

Meeting: NFL Combine
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 241 pounds
2021 production: 13 games, 142 tackles (83 solo), 8 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 3 INTs, 1 FR
Career accolades: All-American Third Team (2021), All-Mountain West First Team (2020, 2021), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “A high-cut linebacker, Muma has a nose for the football but his methodology for getting there will need an upgrade to earn NFL playing time. He falls prey to false steps and wasted motion at times. He has a see-ball, get-ball mentality and hunts runners with good build-up speed and an aggressive demeanor. Patience and leverage are below average when fitting up inside runs and flowing to outside runs. He needs to improve at slipping and taking on blocks if he’s going to play inside. Muma profiles as a backup inside/strong-side linebacker with four-phase special teams talent that should lock him into a roster spot as a Day 3 selection.” (Source)
Projected pick: Mid-Day 2
ILB Troy Andersen, Montana State

Meeting: NFL Combine
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 242 pounds
2021 production: 15 games, 147 tackles (83 solo), 14 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 INTs, 7 PBUs, 1 FR
Career accolades: FCS All-American First Team (2021), Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year (2021), All-Big Sky First Team linebacker (2019, 2021), All-Big Sky First Team quarterback (2018), Big Sky Freshman of the Year (2017, as a running back), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “Intriguing ‘do-everything’ prospect with unusual versatility that could see him getting reps in all three phases. Andersen has good size and toughness with the ball in his hands, but he’s transitioned to a full-time linebacker role. However, he’s still inexperienced at the position, which shows in his instincts and technique at that spot. Despite those concerns, he was an extremely productive playmaker, using his physical tools and motor to shine. Teams will likely look to grow Andersen’s linebacker IQ while playing him as a core special-teamer, but he might have potential on packaged plays on offense.” (Source)

Meeting: NFL Combine | Senior Bowl
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 239 pounds
2021 production: 12 games, 89 tackles (45 solo), 8.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 4 PBUs, 2 FR
Career accolades: Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “Athletic inside linebacker who might require a more attack-oriented scheme that allows him to play faster and with less reservation. Hansford failed to use his 2020 season as a springboard into bigger and better things in 2021. He has speed to range from sideline to sideline and is a fundamentally sound tackler who won’t let many slip from his grasp. His blitz potential should not be discounted and he clearly has the traits to become a more robust playmaker. However, the difference between starter and backup will be rooted in whether or not he can do a better job of diagnosing blocking schemes and play with better trigger quickness.” (Source)
Projected pick: Late 3rd-Early 4th round

Weight: 194 pounds
2021 production: 12 games, 204 carries, 1,002 yards, 4.9 yards/carry, 14 TDs, 42 receptions, 359 yards, 3 TDs
Career accolades: All-ACC Second Team (2020), ACC Rookie of the Year (2020)
Scouting report: “Fiery team leader and combative runner who leaves it all out on the field. Williams has been a worker bee with a willingness to do the heavy lifting on all three downs and has premium third-down talent both in blitz pickup and as a route-runner out of the backfield. The Patriots’ usage of James White, Dion Lewis and Brandon Bolden might be the blueprint for how to utilize Williams in the NFL.” (Source)
Projected pick: 3rd round
WR Treylon Burks, Arkansas

Meeting: NFL Combine
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 225 pounds
2021 production: 12 games, 66 receptions, 1,104 yards, 11 TDs, 14 carries, 112 yards, TD
Career accolades: All-SEC First Team (2021), All-SEC Second Team (2019, 2020) SEC All-Freshman Team (2019)
Scouting report: “Big, smooth and natural, Burks possesses the versatility to operate from wherever you want and get to wherever you need no matter the competition. He’s a mismatch receiver combining size, strength and competitiveness similar to the Titans’ A.J. Brown, but appears to be faster and more athletic. Arkansas benefitted by putting the ball in his hands from a variety of alignments and there is no reason to believe NFL play-callers won’t benefit from doing the same. For as talented as Burks is today, he’s likely to keep getting better. He will require specific game-planning for defenses operating without a true CB1 and has the potential to star as a high-volume, three-level target who can start and produce in his rookie season.” (Source)
Projected pick: 1st round

Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 179 pounds
2021 production: 15 games, 79 receptions, 1,572 yards, 15 TDs, 10 kick returns, 352 yards, 2 TDs
Career accolades: All-American First Team (2021), All-SEC First Team (2021), SEC Co-Special Teams Player of the Year (2021)
Scouting report: “Linear route-runner with electric long speed to impact a game as a home-run hitter or decoy drawing defenders away from other elements of the offense. Williams ruins man coverage but faces some limitations. He has issues getting off press cleanly and might require some scheming to help get off the mark cleanly against certain corners. Catch toughness can be inconsistent when contested or in heavily trafficked areas. He has all the juice to find consistent separation on vertical, over and post/corner routes and could see monstrous production if paired with a high-end talent at quarterback. The ACL tear could play a role in determining his ultimate draft destination, but it’s unlikely to change his game.” (Source)
Projected pick: 1st round
WR Chris Olave, Ohio State

Meeting: NFL Combine
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 187 pounds
2021 production: 11 games, 65 receptions, 936 yards, 13 TDs
Career accolades: All-American Second Team (2021), All-Big Ten First Team (2020, 2021), All-Big Ten Third Team (2019)
Scouting report: “The quiet storm of the Ohio State wide receiver corps, Olave is smooth, steady and makes things happen. His movements are fluid and easy from snap to the catch and all points between. He’s fast but efficient and plays with the bend and foot agility to uncover on all three levels. Olave possesses natural, well-rounded ball skills but needs to add play strength to ward off the physical challenges that are headed his way. His play traits should allow for success beyond the scheme and talent advantages surrounding him at Ohio State. He is an inside/outside hybrid appealing to offenses looking for a field-stretcher with the ability to take on a sizable catch load.” (Source)
Projected pick: 1st round
WR John Metchie, Alabama

Meeting: NFL Combine | Top-30 visit
Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 187 pounds
2021 production: 13 games, 96 receptions, 1,142 yards, 8 TDs
Career accolades: All-SEC Second Team (2021), Jon Cornish Trophy (2020)
Scouting report: “NFL slot projection with good polish but a lack of noteworthy elements in his game. Metchie has decent size but average play speed. He’s proficient in more sophisticated routes but lacks explosiveness to separate and will have to prove he can become a more physical wideout to win contested catches at the pro level. He can play multiple receiver spots and has the ability to take what the scheme provides him. As long as his recovery from an ACL tear goes smoothly, Metchie has a chance to become a starting slot receiver with a relatively modest ceiling.” (Source)
Projected pick: Day 2
WR Wan’Dale Robinson, Kentucky

Meeting: NFL Combine
Height: 5-foot-8
Weight: 178 pounds
2021 production: 13 games, 104 receptions, 1,334 yards, 7 TDs, 7 carries, 111 yards
Career accolades: All-SEC Second Team (2021), Citrus Bowl MVP (2022)
Scouting report: “Robinson will be tabbed as a slot receiver but that is underselling his potential. He’s sudden and slick with an ability to make plays from a variety of alignments. He has gadget potential and can function as a dump-and-run target, acting as an extension of the running game. A lack of length and play strength could be a concern until he tightens up the route-running to prevent contested catches. He’s much lighter than Deebo Samuel, but the competitiveness, acceleration and run-after-catch talent could have teams eyeing a somewhat similar usage for Robinson in the future.” (Source)

Meeting: NFL Combine | Pre-draft workout
Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 194 pounds
2021 production: 15 games, 42 receptions, 408 yards, 3 TDs
Scouting report: “Slot target who will catch and gain what is available but is unlikely to do much beyond that. Bolden has adequate quickness for the Alabama scheme but isn’t an explosive separator. He has the hands and toughness to work in the middle of the field but will see diminishing catch windows the further he gets from the line of scrimmage. He doesn’t have the speed or catch radius to help inaccurate passers and he doesn’t appear to have enough talent to shine outside of the Alabama juggernaut.” (Source)
Projected pick: Late Day 3

Weight: 208 pounds
2021 production: 12 games, 43 receptions, 801 yards, 7 TDs, 15 carries, 125 yards, TD, 10 kick returns, 227 yards
Career accolades: FCS All-America First Team (2020), FCS All-America Second Team (2021), All-MVFC First Team (2020-2021), All-MVFC Second Team (2019), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “A receiver prospect with intriguing measurables and a strong belief in the team aspect of the game, Watson possesses an alluring combination of size and speed. He showed off improved route running and catch strength in 2021. He is much more gifted than his opposition was at NDSU and needs to prove he can elevate his game against bigger, faster players at the next level. He plays hard and fast but needs to add a few more pounds and learn to impose his frame on the coverage. He’s a field-stretching option requiring a linear route tree and projects as a capable WR3/4 with more work.” (Source)
Projected pick: Late 3rd-early 4th round

Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 204 pounds
2021 production: 11 games, 80 receptions, 1,109 yards, 11 TDs, 12 kick returns, 170 yards
Career accolades: All-Mountain West First Team (2020, 2021), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “Will check the boxes for height, weight and speed, but tightness in his lower half limits the upside. Doubs has been a productive, high-volume target with speed to separate deep but he’s a linear route-runner who will struggle to elude NFL press and separate from tight man coverage over the first two levels. His toughness, ball skills and special teams potential increase his chances of earning a backup role.” (Source)

WR Kyle Phillips, UCLA

Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 186 pounds
2021 production: 11 games, 59 receptions, 739 yards, 10 TDs, 9 punt returns, 203 yards, TD
Career accolades: All-Pac-12 First Team, receiver (2021), All-Pac-12 Second Team, returner (2021)
Scouting report: “Slot receiver with limited range but above-average potential as a punt-return option. Philips has the foot quickness to elude press and uncover underneath but his effectiveness wanes over the second and third levels. He needs to improve his route efficiency to prove he can separate from nickel corners in the pros and must improve as a hands-catcher. Philips’ talent to create for himself and his team as a return man gives him a shot to make a club.” (Source)

Meeting: Senior Bowl

2021 production: 12 games, 34 tackles (6 solo), 10 tackles for loss, 1 FF
Career accolades: All-Big Ten Second Team (2021), All-Big Ten Honorable Mention (2020), Senior Bowl
Scouting report: “Mafe’s evaluation requires the evaluator to focus more closely on the flashes than just the play-to-play action. His combination of rare explosive measurables with average fundamentals could make for a perfect storm of rapid development once he gets focused skill work at the pro level. His footwork is average and he lacks desired instincts as a rusher, but pairing efficient hand work with twitchy upper-body power could turn him into a productive rush bully. He has the traits and toughness to develop into an above-average starter as a 4-3 base end.” (Source)
Projected pick: 3rd round
TE Chigoziem Okonkwo, Maryland

Meeting: Shrine Bowl
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 238 pounds
2021 production: 13 games, 52 receptions, 447 yards, 5 TDs
Career accolades: All-Big Ten honorable mention (2021)
Scouting report: “Muscular, short-armed tight end with explosive athletic traits who could make for a challenging projection. Okonkwo has the physical tools to become better as a route runner and blocker, but he’s still very raw in both facets. He’s talented after the catch but his hands are very average and he’s still in the developmental phase, so finding a way to get the ball in his hands could be tough early on. He’s not long enough to be a consistent in-line blocker so a move to H-back, or even fullback, would play to his strengths and give him the best chance to succeed, provided he can improve his move-blocking prowess.” (Source)
