1st-2nd |
Combine. Forty: 4.58...Proto size/speed...long arms for size...Durable...Worker/Learner...Excellent awareness and recognition skills..."Does not let a receiver get on top of him"...quick to diagnose and jumps ballcarrier once he crosses the LOS...needs to wrap up better...some teams project him as a box safety...OK diagnosing run...mirrors QB's eyes in coverage...Smooth, flexible action with good but not elite closing burst...above average vs. TE's in man coverage...Locates ball quickly/knows what to do with it should he come down with it....above average playmaking and anticipation instincts...not an assassin but a reliable tackler...must become stronger..
Pro Day - Stood on combine numbers...Considered a good safety and a mid-first round possibility..."Had a good position workout to cap an impressive pro day, playing the ball well and showing good anticipation and quickness" - Brandt.
Combine (DB12) - Arm: 32 3/8; Hand: 9; BP: 11; VJ: 33.0; BJ: 119; 3C: 7.16; 20S: 4.16; 60S:11.63..... |

1st-2nd |
Combine. Forty: 4.58...The Enforcer...Instinctive...Breaks on ball quickly...Deluxe hitter/aggressive in run game..Suspended (broke team rule)...game-changer...rangy enough to play centerfield...needs to be more consistent tackler in open field...can be overly aggressively and bite on cutback...will take bad angles...not asked to play much man...Detroit, Philly and Cincy said to have expressed most visible interest.
Pro Day - Goal was to reverse bad combine showing (where even his height was overstated by 3-inches and he came up short in timed drills)...Unfortunately, all the ink was grabbed by Bridgewater and we haven't found any info about how Pryor did at his pro day other than that he stood on his combine numbers...
Combine (DB12) - Arm: 31 3/8; Hand: 9 1/8; BP: 18; VJ: 34.5; BJ: 116; .....

2nd-3rd |
Combine Forty: 4.66 (Pre-combine est. Forty: 4.58)...Sub-package safety coming off shoulder-surgery and causing him to be more of a drag-down tackler..This guy sounds like one of those tweeners that Todd Bowles could turn into a Tyrann Mathieu type role player...Vastly undersized for a LB..above average speed for a LB/OK speed for a FS...Shoulder injury in 2012 (surgery)...active in community service...clean intangibles...strong awareness and instincts in coverage...rarely bites on misdirection or play action...sharp eyes and diagnostic skills...too small to take on blocks as a LB but might be OK as a S...Easy mover in space with above average closing burst...Lacks proto strength and power as a tackler (when graded as a LB)...Effective tackler in space...decent range in zone coverage (as a LB)...effective man coverage skills vs. TE's...playmaking instincts and strong ball skills...closes quickly as a blitzer...
Pro Day - VJ: 33.5"; BJ: 9-6; BP: 14...stood on the rest of his combine numbers where he was a top performer in the 3-cone and two shuttles...Brandt says he's a quality player who had a solid workout, and says he'll probably be drafted on Day 3....
Combine (DB03) - Arm: 32; Hand: 9 1/2; VJ: 34.0; BJ: 113; 3C: 6.97; 20S: 4.15; 60S: 11.88....

3rd |
Combine Forty: 4.42......"Safety with corner skills" - USA Today...Can turn & go or come up in run support...Said to lack elite speed (We beg to differ)...A tad short...good est. top end speed...Frame poses durability concern...Self starter but tends to carry mistakes with him...Good ST player...Below average instincts/recognition, ball-skills and run support productivity but better than average cover skills...enough range to cover dep half and play centerfield if he makes a sound read...may lack strength and size to cover TE's...body-snatcher/drops catchable balls....not a ball-hawk/not good in jump ball situations...Willing in run suport but whiffs too much...size a disadvantage vs. run....
Pro Day - BJ: 10-2; 20S: 4.58; 3C: 7.01; BP: 11; stood on his forty and jumping combine numbers...Brooks impressed Brandt in the position drills; most notably "really good ball awareness."
Senior Bowl - Brooks came away impressed with his athleticism, anticipation and movement skills...Impressive roving playmaker who was also effective attacking the run off the edges and had decent instincts and awareness in coverage...He and Ward fit the growing NFL trend to smaller safeties...
Combine (DB09) - Arm: 31; Hand: 9; BP: 10; VJ: 38.0; BJ: 119; 3C: 7.35.
