Traits/ Skills (see bottom of the page for scale)

All potential first-round prospects are graded and analyzed through the film of at least three games dedicated to each player. In addition, an array of various stats and analytics are also factored in. All the grades for each trait are relevant to the position. Each trait/attribute is graded 1-7. The overall grade is not limited to 100 as a player like Aaron Donald is so much better than the next best player behind him, but no prospects will be rated higher than 100 for potential.

Player Notes

LB Devin Lloyd

  • Lloyd was a phenomenal linebacker playing for Utah and has traits that will translate well at the next level
  • Was a receiver converted into a linebacker which shows with his athletism and his understanding of leverage against routes
  • Has all of the ideal traits you’d want in a modern off-ball LB; has size and strength to play the run and is a great pass rush threat
  • While he’s pro-ready, he has spent five years in college which gives him much less time to reach his true upside; pretty much all top-end prospects are 21 or 22
  • Tackling is a big weakness in his game, but he has the physical traits to develop into a good tackler

WillModern coverage first off-ball linebacker; Must have speed and quickness, zone instincts, good man coverage, ability to react quickly; run defense is less important, and pass-rush ability is a bonus
