McBride, like Dulcich, participated in the Reese's Senior Bowl; he had a solid week. He did not run a 40 at the combine, but he did clock a 4.54 at his pro day. He is a versatile TE who can play inline, flexed, or out of the backfield. He takes pride in his blocking ability, and with improvement as a blocker, he could ascend into the best TE prospect in the 2022 class. < Back Trey McBride Colorado State HT: 6040 WT: 260 YR: SR POS: TE OVR RK 68 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 2 Mid-Level Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT McBride, like Dulcich, participated in the Reese's Senior Bowl; he had a solid week.

Waddle is a versatile athlete; he can line up anywhere on the field. He is by far the most difficult player to defend in the 2021 NFL Draft. DB's struggle to get their hands on him at the line of scrimmage, and while in coverage, they often are left behind in his wake. His route running ability and precise cuts allow him to get separation from DB's. Unlike Ruggs (many compare to Ruggs), Waddle is not just a straight-line speed player who relies on downfield throws; he is effective at all levels displaying great hands, and can high point the football with ease. He might be the next Tyreek Hill in the NFL (not a comp, or even a guarantee); Waddle is an undersized player yet possesses top-level NFL WR traits. It would be best if you always had an extra set of eyes on him (help defender). Waddle wins one on one with ease. Waddle could quickly become the top WR in this draft once we look back in hindsight. < Back Jaylen Waddle Alabama HT: 5010 WT: 182 YR: JR POS: WR OVR RK 7 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 3 Near Elite OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Waddle is a versatile athlete; he can line up anywhere on the field.

Rattler's journey from Oklahoma to South Carolina is one of significant growth and maturity. At Oklahoma, Rattler burst onto the college football scene as a freshman, drawing comparisons to Patrick Mahomes due to his mobility and arm talent. However, in his second year, he faced adversity after failing to develop as expected and was supplanted by incoming freshman QB Caleb Williams. After transferring to South Carolina, Rattler began to show growth. Playing behind a weak offensive line in 2023, he showed promise both in the pocket and on the run as a passer. He remains inconsistent and will need the right situation at the NFL level to succeed. I believe he has the potential to ascend into a top player in this class, but he must continue to work on his decision-making, footwork, and consistency as a passer. < Back Spencer Rattler South Carolina HT: 6010 WT: 218 YR: RSR POS: QB OVR RK 68 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 7 Low-Level Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Spencer Rattler is a mobile pocket passer known for his strong arm and ability to throw deep with accuracy and velocity.

Stroud is accurate with a strong arm. He can fit the football into tight windows, especially on layered throws between LB's and safeties down the middle. His ability to throw outside the numbers beating coverage, and placing the football only where his receiver has the best chance stands out on tape. C.J. Stroud possesses arm talent in critical areas of the measure. He can throw with touch at all levels, get the ball out quickly when needed, and fire a laser down the seam. Stroud does a good job feeling and handling pressure, but there are moments where you would like to see him use his legs a bit more to keep a play alive. < Back C.J.

Desmond Ridder is a player that certainly possesses some key characteristics that you are looking for in an NFL-level QB. He has improved in multiple areas as a passer while at Cincinnati, and he is a proven winner. His leadership is also a valuable trait that can help him move forward into the NFL. He possesses good NFL size at 6-4, 215 lbs. I liken him to a poor man, Trevor Lawrence, in terms of size and athleticism. He has arm talent; he just needs to clean up his accuracy and decision-making. Overall, I think if he lands in a spot where he can sit for a season or two behind an established NFL starter, he can develop into an NFL-level starter. Ridder's best fit will be in a run-first offense that uses a lot of play-action and roll-out style plays that can get him out on the edge of the defense. < Back Desmond Ridder Cincinnati HT: 6040 WT: 215 YR: SR POS: QB OVR RK 57 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 3 Low-Level Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Desmond Ridder is a player that certainly possesses some key characteristics that you are looking for in an NFL-level QB.
