PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Trevor Goosby is a long, athletic left tackle prospect whose grade is built on pass-protection range, movement skills, hand-development flashes, and starter-level upside in a zone-heavy system. He fits best as a wide-zone or play-action left tackle who can use his length and foot quickness to protect the edge while climbing effectively in space. The concern is whether his core strength, contact balance, and run-game displacement improve enough to push him beyond a starting-caliber projection. The next-tier jump depends on handling power more consistently, staying balanced into contact, and proving the pass-pro traits hold up against top 2026 competition.
PLAYER COMPARISON:
Anton Harrison/Christian Darrisaw
Goosby fits the Anton Harrison comparison because both profiles are built around length, foot quickness, pass-protection range, and left tackle movement skills. The Darrisaw angle applies more to the developmental path: a long, athletic tackle who can become a much more complete player if the play strength, run-game force, and technical consistency continue to mature. Goosby is not as physically finished as Darrisaw was, but the blindside starter traits are clear.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Near Elite (70-74)
A high-caliber prospect who is expected to become a significant contributor by Year 2. These players have outstanding physical tools and strong football IQ, with only minor flaws in their game. They demonstrate consistency at a high level and project as future Pro Bowl-caliber players if properly developed.

Football Scout 365 NFL Draft Grade Scale
Football Scout 365 grades reflect a prospect’s projected long-term NFL value and role. Draft ranges are general value projections, not predictions of an exact selection. Positional value, team needs, scheme fit, medical information and athletic testing can influence where a player is ultimately selected.
How Football Scout 365 Grades NFL Draft Prospects
-
Elite (75+): A rare, high-impact prospect with elite physical tools, advanced football intelligence and the ability to make an immediate NFL impact. Elite prospects carry franchise-altering potential and typically project as top 5–10 selections in the first round.
-
Near Elite (70–74): A high-caliber prospect with outstanding physical tools, strong football intelligence and only minor developmental limitations. Near Elite prospects project as significant early-career contributors with Pro Bowl upside and first-round draft value.
-
High-End Starter Potential (65–69): A starting-caliber prospect with strong physical tools, quality technical skills and a defined NFL role. These players may require development before reaching their ceiling but generally carry second- or third-round draft value.
-
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60–64): A solid prospect with NFL-level tools and a pathway to becoming a dependable starter if key limitations are addressed. These players generally carry third- to fifth-round draft value.
-
Low-Level Starter Potential (55–59): A developmental prospect who could become a low-end starter, high-end backup or valuable specialist in the right role. These players generally carry fifth- to seventh-round draft value.
-
Backup Level (50–54): A depth or rotational prospect with enough functional ability to compete for an NFL roster spot but limited long-term starting potential. These players generally project as late Day 3 selections or priority undrafted free agents.
-
Not NFL Level (Below 50): A developmental or camp prospect who does not currently demonstrate enough consistency, technical refinement or functional NFL traits to project as a regular contributor. These players generally project as undrafted free agents, practice-squad candidates or camp invitations.
Draft position can vary based on positional value, team needs, scheme fit, medical evaluation and athletic testing.
