Expert Analysis

Height: 6'8"
Weight: 340 lbs.
Expert Grade: 6.42

Talented tackle prospect carrying a picturesque frame and exciting NFL traits. Mims plays with pretty good technique and is ahead of the game with hand placement. He has the size and bend to create movement and adequate athleticism to make blocks on the move ... It is very rare to see him clearly beaten by a rusher, and he has the recovery talent to do something about it when it happens.

Expert Analysis

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 305 lbs.
Expert Grade: 6.3

Possesses rare pedigree with a college football national title under his belt and a father who was a four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle. Jenkins has a smaller frame for his position, but he plays with good strength in one-on-one power swaps. His motor stays engaged. He's frequently running down ball-carriers and chasing quarterbacks by the end of the play. Jenkins flashes more rush talent than his sack production would indicate.

Expert Grade: 6.21

Burton's tape is very appealing. He has pretty good size and plays bigger than he measures. He can fight through press, get physical at the break point and carve out space on 50/50 balls. Burton wasn't asked to run an extended route tree, but he has the traits and ball skills to work all three levels against NFL cornerbacks. He caught a touchdown pass every 5.7 grabs during his college career ... Burton's athletic profile and ball skills create confidence that he can become a solid WR2/3 in the league.

Jackson is explosive off the snap with the ability to get into blockers quickly or to attack their edges as a penetrator. He tends to ride on blocks once they land squarely ... Jackson plays with good strength ... more gradual than twitchy in his battles.

A well-built cornerback with inside/outside versatility ... He's capable in press and is made for old-fashioned Cover 2 looks where he can redirect the release and sink into zone coverage ... He's competitive and physical at the catch point and is willing to do his part in run support.

(McLachlan) plays with the spirit of an in-line tight end and flashes what it takes to execute blocks ... he still finds ways to go get the football outside his frame and does whatever it takes to add yards after catch ... his "whatever it takes" mentality is the kind of intangible that often turns prospects into pros.

Hard-hitting safety with man cover tools ... Anthony is high-cut but with good size and an aggressive field demeanor. He aligned as both a big nickel and a split safety. He's fairly comfortable handling man coverage duties over the slot and does a nice job of staying connected with routes and disrupting catch tries with timing. He's fast enough to play over the top from center field.

The tape doesn't lie when it comes to his talent in pass protection. Lee is a technician with good play strength whose anchor supersedes the number on the scale. He keeps his head on a swivel and was rarely beaten in 2023.
