Kincaid has good size for a tight end at 6'4" and 245 pounds. Kincaid is a solid all-around tight end who should be a reliable contributor at the NFL level. He is not an elite athlete but has good size, hands, and blocking ability. He is a reliable target in the passing game and a willing blocker who can improve with more experience and coaching. He should be a mid-to-late-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and has the potential to develop into a solid starting tight end in the right system. < Back Dalton Kincaid Utah HT: 6035 WT: 246 YR: SR POS: TE OVR RK 33 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 1 High-End Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT In terms of his NFL scheme fit, Kincaid's versatility and blocking ability make him a good fit for a variety of offensive systems. He could be used as a receiving tight end in a spread offense or as a traditional tight end in a more run-heavy scheme. His blocking ability would also make him valuable on special teams, where he could contribute on kick and punt coverage units. CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS High-End Starter Potential (65-69) A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game.

2022 Senior Bowl Observations: The QB's, And The Prospects Whose Stock Is On The Rise The QB's Strongest Arm Malik Willis Liberty Willis displayed his strong arm during Senior Bowl Practices this past week. Zebra Technologies, a company that designs microchips for the NFL that can be inserted into players' pads and the football to measure player speed and movement, and the speed of the football, air yards, and more, measured Malik Willis's initial throw speed at 75 MPH. By comparison, Josh Allen's initial ball speed was 66 MPH using the same tech at the Senior Bowl in 2018. The Deepest Throw Malik Willis Liberty Zebra Technologies also measured the longest air distance for all of the QB's, and Malik Willis led all QB's with a 65 yards toss. The question remains, can he improve his short and intermediate touch and accuracy? He already possesses excellent deep accuracy. The Fastest QB Malik Willis Liberty Once again, Malik Willis takes the cake. His athleticism is a known commodity, and according to Zebra Technologies, Willis measured a 20.5 MPH run. NFL teams considering Willis as a potential first-round possibility will undoubtedly need to structure their offense based on his ability to move the football with his legs. His stock increased through Senior Bowl practices, where he garnered a lot of attention from NFL Scouts and GM's, including Browns GM Joe Berry. The Other QB's Desmond Ridder Cincinnati- 17.99 MPH Sam Howell North Carolina- 16.50 MPH Carson Strong Nevada- 16.10 MPH Kenny Pickett Pittsburgh- 15.00 MPH Bailey Zappe- 10.44 MPH Other QB notes Kenny Pickett Pittsburgh On Wednesday, Kenny Pickett had issues handling the football in wet conditions, but he did bounce back on day three. He entered the Senior Bowl as our top QB prospect, with Malik Willis starting to pick up steam, and it would be necessary for Pickett to make a strong statement. Pickett displayed his solid short and intermediate accuracy throughout Senior Bowl Practices this week. He remains our number one QB for now. Sam Howell North Carolina Once considered a top prospect on our Big Board before the 2021 college football season, Howell displayed some inconsistent traits throughout the year. During Senior Bowl practices, Howell didn't do a lot to change the narrative. He still has to work on his footwork and patience in the pocket. We did a YouTube analysis on Howell. I discussed his inconsistencies on drop-backs of 2.5 seconds or longer being an issue and the importance of decisively getting the ball out. He has NFL-level starter traits if he can become a more decisive passer. Desmond Ridder Cincinnati The discussion about Ridder among scouts is that they like him and that he is a proven winner. I like his physical attributes, though he needs to put on some weight. His inconsistent accuracy needs to improve. The Prospects (Outside of QB) Whose Stock Rose The Highest Edge Jermaine Johnson II Florida State As we expected, Johnson is one of the top EDGE rushers, not just at the Senior Bowl but overall. Johnson displayed a combination of speed, power, and moves to go along with his size and length. We are in the process of moving Johnson into the top 15 of our big board, maybe the top ten, once we finish all evaluations. IDL Travis Jones UCONN Jones is the best IDL at the Senior Bowl. He consistently dominated in one-on-one drills throughout, playing with great leverage and excellent hand usage. He is on the rise, according to most scouts. IDL Perrion Winfrey Oklahoma If Travis Jones is the most dominant interior defender, Winfrey is not too far behind. Winfrey shined in one on one drills, and he consistently won battles with a quick first step. He is considered an interior 3-tech player, and his stock at a position that lacks depth is on the climb. WR Christian Watson NDSU The explosive WR proved as much during Senior Bowl practices. At 6-4, 211 lbs, Watson confirmed that he is more than just a big-play WR; he displayed quick feet and solid route-running chops this week. He had 57 plays of 20+ yards or more at NDSU, and he is on our radar. RB Dameon Pierce Florida The RB position is a challenging read in a practice-style combine event, but Pierce did well with his opportunities proving he has three-down chops as a pass blocker. WR Khalil Shakir Boise State Shakir displayed a high-level ability to get a free release and high-level short-area quickness during the week. He gets separation with relative ease, and his game translates well at the NFL level. CB Tariq Woolen UTSA Woolen is a 6-2, 205lb DB with fluid hips and solid body control. According to Zebra Technologies, Woolen clocked the fastest Senior Bowl time in practice sessions (22.45 MPH). WR Calvin Austin Memphis The 5-9, 162 LB receiver shined in Senior Bowl practices. According to Zebra Technologies, Austin hit a near 21 MPH speed, and I think he could be faster than that. Austin was impossible to cover, he was able to gain separation with ease, and he was a monster in the red zone. TE Greg Dulcich UCLA Dulcich had a great week at the Senior Bowl and was arguably the best TE during the practice sessions showing his ability to separate from defenders and showing the ability to make explosive plays.

Khyree Jackson's combination of size, athleticism, and competitive nature positions him as a potential Day 2 pick in the NFL Draft. He is projected to be a mid-level starter at the NFL level, best suited for schemes that value physical, press-man coverage. His ability to cover the opposing team's top receivers, combined with his ball skills, make him a valuable asset. However, to reach his full potential in the NFL, Jackson will need to refine his technique to reduce penalties and improve his agility to better manage quick, shifty receivers. < Back Khyree Jackson Oregon HT: 6030 WT: 195 YR: SR POS: CB OVR RK 58 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 8 High-End Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Khyree Jackson embodies the archetype of a long and athletic cornerback suited for a man-to-man defensive scheme in the NFL. His most notable strength is his ability to excel in press coverage, leveraging his exceptional length to disrupt receivers' routes right off the line. Jackson's competitive nature shines through in his persistent challenge to receivers throughout their routes and at the catch point, utilizing his ball skills effectively. Despite his advantageous size and athleticism, Jackson demonstrates a notable area for improvement in his change of direction skills, which affects his ability to keep up with quicker receivers at breakpoints. His overaggressive play style, while beneficial in physical matchups, has led to penalties due to being overly handsy. His aggressive physicality is a benefit vs. the run. CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS High-End Starter Potential (65-69) A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.

Duggan will get a shot to be the featured name at the QB position due to Hendon Hooker's injury. There are a few RB's I cannot wait to see. Illinois RB Chase Brown, Georgia's Kenny McIntosh, and Texas RB Roschon Johnson will be the hot names, with Tulane RB Tyjae Spears being a bit of a sleeper who can increase his draft stock with a big week.

Wiggins' fluidity in movement and ability to mirror opponents highlight his natural coverage skills, while his solid vertical and broad jump results reflect his athleticism and ability to contest catches in the air. Despite needing to improve in run support and physicality, Wiggins' blend of speed, awareness, and playmaking potential positions him as a highly desirable prospect. Grade Assignment: Given Wiggins's outstanding speed and satisfactory performance in jump metrics, which align with his scouting report's portrayal of a versatile cornerback ideal for modern defenses, his grade is Exceptional (9) .

Sainristil's potential shines through in his vertical and broad jump—demonstrating his explosive traits and ability to compete at the catch point. His ball skills and proficiency in run support underscore his versatility on the field. While still developing his defensive acumen, Sainristil's physical tools, and emerging skills in zone and man coverage suggest he has the foundational attributes to grow into a reliable starting nickel corner. Grade Assignment: Considering Sainristil's solid NFL Combine performance, especially in the vertical and broad jump events, showcasing his explosiveness and potential in contesting catches at their highest point, his grade is Above Average to Good (6-7) . His transition from receiver to cornerback appears successful, with physical tools and emerging coverage skills that suggest he has the potential to develop into a reliable starting nickel corner in the NFL. Khyree Jackson, CB, Oregon (6' 4'', 194lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.50 seconds (21st among cornerbacks) 10-Yard Split: 1.50 seconds (8th among cornerbacks) Vertical Jump: 36.5'' (17th among cornerbacks) Broad Jump: 11' 1'' (3rd among cornerbacks) Scouting Report Connection: Khyree Jackson's imposing stature and athletic capabilities, evidenced by his combine results, highlight his potential. His rare size and strength make him a formidable presence on the field, particularly in press situations. Although his technique may show inconsistency due to limited starting experience in college, his physical attributes, such as his broad jump, indicate exceptional lower-body strength and explosive ability. These traits, paired with his solid run support, suggest Jackson has the raw materials needed for the NFL. While he must refine his anticipation and smoothness in transitions, his contested catch ability and physicality are significant advantages. Jackson's combine performance, notably his broad jump and respectable 40-yard dash for his size, underlines his capability to develop into a valuable defensive asset. Grade Assignment: Given Jackson's solid combine performance and the physical traits he displayed, particularly his exceptional broad jump, his grade is Above Average to Good (6-7) . His performances suggest he possesses the raw physical tools necessary for the NFL. If he can refine his technique and improve his anticipation and smoothness in transitions, he has the potential to become a significant asset in a defensive setup, especially in schemes that value physical, press-man cornerbacks. The Top Safety Grades At The 2024 NFL Combine Cole Bishop, SAF, Utah (6' 2'', 206 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.45 seconds (3rd among safeties) 10-Yard Split: 1.52 seconds (5th among safeties) Vertical Jump: 39'' (6th among safeties) Broad Jump: 10' 4'' (8th among safeties) Scouting Report Connection: Cole Bishop's combine performance aligns well with his scouting report, highlighting his robust physicality and tackling ability, essential traits for a safety. His impressive speed shown in the 40-yard dash and 10-yard split confirms his capability to cover ground quickly and support in run defense effectively. His vertical and broad jump results suggest good lower body strength and the ability to compete in aerial situations, which complements his noted proficiency in man coverage against tight ends and his impactful play from zone. Despite some noted issues with discipline in deep safety roles, his physical attributes and combine performance reinforce his potential in both down safety and split safety roles. Grade Assignment: Given Bishop's solid combine performance, particularly his top-tier speed and good results in the jumping events, which substantiate his scouting report's notes on physicality and tackling prowess, his grade is Above Average to Good (6-7) . His combine outcomes not only confirm his existing strengths but also suggest room for growth and development into a more disciplined and versatile NFL safety. Jaylin Simpson, SAF, Auburn (6' 0'', 179 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.45 seconds (5th among safeties) 10-Yard Split: 1.51 seconds (4th among safeties) Vertical Jump: 39.5'' (3rd among safeties) Broad Jump: 11' 1'' (2nd among safeties) Scouting Report Connection: Jaylin Simpson's scouting report underlines his athleticism and versatility, having started in both cornerback and safety positions. His combine performance, particularly his speed in the 40-yard dash and explosiveness in the vertical and broad jumps, confirms his athletic prowess. However, concerns about his run support and transitional speed as a cornerback suggest that while he has the athletic traits, there may be some technical areas needing refinement. His ability to pedal and match receivers, along with success in contested situations, highlights his potential. Grade Assignment: Considering Simpson's impressive combine showing, which aligns with the athletic traits outlined in his scouting report, his is Above Average to Good (6-7) . His top-tier results in athleticism indicators suggest significant potential, but the concerns regarding his positional fit and run support emphasize areas for development. If he can address these weaknesses and find the right positional fit, he has the foundational skills and attributes to develop into a reliable contributor in the NFL. Calen Bullock, SAF, USC (6' 2'', 188 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.48 seconds (10th among safeties) 10-Yard Split: 1.51 seconds (3rd among safeties) Vertical Jump: Data not provided Broad Jump: Data not provided Scouting Report Connection: Calen Bullock's scouting report describes him as a player with significant variances in performance, showing potential excellence in coverage but inconsistency in run defense. His combine metrics, particularly his speed in the 40-yard dash and his quickness in the 10-yard split, underscore his ability to cover ground quickly and support the pass defense effectively. These attributes align with the scouting notes on his range and athleticism. However, his challenges in run defense, including poor recognition and missed angles, are areas needing improvement to fully capitalize on his athletic skills. Grade Assignment: Given Bullock's solid combine performance, which highlights his speed and agility, juxtaposed with the concerns noted in run defense, his grade is Above Average to Good (6-7) . His physical attributes and potential as a playmaker in the secondary are evident, but to elevate his grade and overall impact on the field, he will need to address the deficiencies in run support and processing the game. If he can make these improvements, his athletic base suggests he could develop into a more complete and reliable safety or potentially transition to cornerback, where his skill set might be better utilized. Javon Bullard, SAF, Georgia (5' 10 1/2'', 198 lbs) Combine Data & Ranking Within His Position Group: 40-Yard Dash: 4.47 seconds (4th among safeties) 10-Yard Split: 1.51 seconds (2nd among safeties) Scouting Report Connection: Javon Bullard is noted for his field awareness and run support, qualities that are essential for his position, though he might not perfectly fit as a traditional safety due to size and lateral movement limitations. Despite these concerns, his impressive combine performance, particularly in speed-related metrics like the 40-yard dash and 10-yard split, underlines his capability for quick response and effective coverage, aligning with the required attributes for his role. His ability to recognize routes and take proper pursuit angles can mitigate some of the limitations noted in his lateral movements. Grade Assignment: Reflecting on Bullard's combine performance, which showcases his speed and quickness—traits that are vital for a safety—his grade is Above Average to Good (6-7) . His rankings in the speed categories are especially commendable, reinforcing his scouting report strengths. While he needs to work on his lateral movements and adaptability to different defensive roles, his combine results suggest he has a solid foundation to grow from and potentially excel as a safety in the NFL.
