LAJOHNTAY WEBSTER SCOUTING REPORT
The comparison to Calvin Austin III feels apt (although he isn't quite as fast), as both players maximize their explosive traits despite size limitations. Wester's advanced route-running acumen and proven production against high-level competition suggest he could outperform his eventual draft position. While he'll need to be protected from certain matchups, his ability to stress defenses from the slot and impact the return game gives him a clear path to early playing time.
His ideal landing spot would be with a team that heavily employs 11 personnel and can utilize his quickness on option routes and RPO concepts. While his frame may limit his ceiling, Wester has the tools to develop into a reliable chain-mover and dangerous third-down weapon at the next level. Look for him to make an immediate impact in the return game while developing into a valuable slot receiver who can stress defenses both horizontally and vertically.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Exceptional short-area quickness allows him to create instant separation off the line, particularly devastating on option routes where he can read and react to leverage.
- Changes speeds masterfully within his routes, showing veteran savvy to lull defenders before exploding out of breaks with sudden acceleration.
- Natural hands catcher who tracks the ball exceptionally well over his shoulder, particularly impressive on seam routes where timing is crucial.
- Demonstrates advanced understanding of zone coverage, consistently finding and settling into soft spots while maintaining quarterback sight lines.
- Elite stop-start ability makes him a nightmare to tackle in space, consistently forcing missed tackles with sharp cuts and decisive movements.
- Shows surprising toughness over the middle for his size, willing to take hits to secure catches in traffic with impressive body control.
- Dangerous return man who combines vision with explosive acceleration, consistently setting up blocks and finding creases in coverage units.
- Routes show polish and precision rarely seen in college prospects, particularly effective at selling double moves with consistent tempo.
- Significantly undersized frame at 167 pounds raises durability concerns at the next level, particularly against more physical NFL defensive backs.
- Struggles to defeat press coverage when aligned outside, lacking the play strength to consistently fight through contact at the line.
- Limited catch radius restricts his ability to adjust to off-target throws, particularly on passes outside his frame or above his head.
- Shows inconsistent focus at times, with concentration drops appearing on tape when anticipating contact or trying to transition upfield too quickly.
- Run blocking effectiveness is limited by his size, often getting overwhelmed by larger defensive backs when trying to sustain blocks on the perimeter.
Scouting Report: Summary
Despite his diminutive stature, Wester projects as an immediate contributor as a slot receiver and punt returner at the next level. His combination of precise route running, natural hands, and explosive quickness should translate well to offenses that emphasize quick-game concepts and utilize pre-snap motion to create favorable matchups. Teams running spread concepts that prioritize getting the ball out quickly will find particular value in his ability to create instant separation and make defenders miss in space.The comparison to Calvin Austin III feels apt (although he isn't quite as fast), as both players maximize their explosive traits despite size limitations.

AENEAS PEEBLES SCOUTING REPORT
The tape reveals a technically sound player who maximizes his physical tools despite limitations. Peebles compensates for average size with outstanding leverage and hand usage, particularly when slipping between interior offensive linemen. His cerebral approach to rushing the passer stands out, as he sets up blocks and counters throughout games. Against the run, he shows flashes of quality play but lacks the consistency needed for every-down reliability at this stage of his development.
Looking forward, Peebles projects as a rotational interior defensive lineman with specialized pass-rushing value on obvious throwing downs. His tackling issues will limit his immediate impact, but his refined pass-rush skillset provides immediate utility. Defensive schemes that allow him to attack a single gap and penetrate will maximize his strengths while minimizing his vulnerability against double teams. With technical refinement in his run defense and tackling, Peebles could develop into more than just a situational player, though his physical limitations create a defined ceiling to his projection.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Fires off the ball with exceptional pad level and leverage, turning his lack of height into a genuine advantage when knifing through interior gaps.
- Possesses violent hands that shock blockers at the point of attack – he'll stun guards with his initial punch despite lacking ideal length.
- Works with a boxer's mentality, constantly probing for openings and wearing down opponents with relentless pressure and movement.
- Has developed a silky smooth spin counter that catches interior linemen flat-footed when they overcommit to his initial move.
- Shows rare contact balance for his size, maintaining his center of gravity through traffic and fighting through arm tackles.
- Creates pressure with secondary rush moves when initial path is stalled – never quits on plays and has picked up several "effort sacks."
- Consistently battles his way off single blocks with active feet and hand fighting techniques that belie his experience level.
- Diagnoses screens and misdirection plays with keen awareness, showing discipline to track ball carriers rather than rushing blindly upfield.
- Lacks the arm length to consistently control and shed blocks once offensive linemen latch onto his frame.
- Suffers significant effectiveness drop when forced to anchor against double teams in the run game.
- Inconsistent tackling technique leads to whiffs in the backfield and missed opportunities to finish plays he creates.
- Gets overwhelmed by mass and power when facing straight-ahead drive blocks from larger interior linemen.
- Occasionally guesses on snap counts, leading to neutral zone infractions when his timing is off.
Scouting Report: Summary
Peebles enters the league as an interior defender with a clear strength as an interior pass-rusher. When aligned in the three-technique or as a shaded nose, he flashes disruptive potential by working through A and B gaps with sudden quickness. His exceptional production as an interior rusher is evident on film, where he consistently pressures quarterbacks with an array of moves and relentless effort. Defensive systems that emphasize penetration over two-gap responsibility will best utilize his natural skill set.The tape reveals a technically sound player who maximizes his physical tools despite limitations.

ROBERT LONGERBEAM SCOUTING REPORT
The corner brings legitimate value in zone coverage schemes where his awareness and closing quickness become assets rather than liabilities. Defensive systems that ask corners to play with their eyes on the quarterback will maximize his ball skills while sheltering him from the physical battles that currently overpower him. Despite the positional versatility that could place him outside or in the slot, his technical refinement hasn't fully compensated for physical shortcomings that show up when bigger receivers simply box him out at the catch point.
Longerbeam's path forward requires significant physical development and technical consistency. While his immediate impact will likely come via special teams and sub-package roles, his competitive nature suggests he won't settle for backup status. The foundation exists for a contributor who carves out a meaningful role through development – adding the necessary muscle to hold up in run support without sacrificing the fluidity that makes him effective in coverage. His ceiling and floor remain relatively close together, reflecting a player whose technical prowess and competitive fire are partially offset by physical limitations that will challenge him at the next level.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Exceptional footwork and hip fluidity allows him to mirror routes and stay in phase with receivers through their stems – looks like he's dancing while others plod.
- Shows advanced awareness and processing in zone coverage, consistently keeping eyes on quarterback while maintaining proper leverage against route combinations.
- Closing burst jumps off the tape when driving on underneath routes – covers ground like he's been shot out of a cannon when diagnosing quickly.
- Demonstrates natural ball skills with timing and coordination to disrupt at the catch point – didn't just defend 42 passes by accident.
- Plays with contagious competitive fire that belies his slender frame – showed genuine dog mentality when stepping up in run support.
- Crisp transitions from backpedal to drive with minimal wasted movement – can flip hips and accelerate without gathering his feet.
- Flashes excellent technique breaking down in space as a tackler when committed to proper form – can cut down bigger ball carriers when technique is on point.
- Desperately needs to add functional strength to his rail-thin frame – gets bodied by bigger receivers who can simply post him up at the catch point.
- Recovery speed is concerning – when beaten off the line, lacks true top-end gear to make up ground against vertical threats.
- Tackling technique wavers between textbook form and alarming whiffs – wraps up like a veteran one play, arm tackles like a rookie the next.
- Struggles mightily to disengage from blocks once receivers get hands on him – too often gets washed out of plays entirely in run support.
- Limited length creates issues against fade routes and jump balls – gives up too much real estate on boundary throws despite good positioning.
Scouting Report: Summary
When the tape rolls, Longerbeam shows moments that make you sit up straight – fluid hips that allow him to mirror routes with minimal wasted movement and a knack for arriving at the catch point with perfect timing. Yet these flashes come with clear limitations that create a ceiling on his potential. His wiry frame gets exposed against physical receivers, and his inconsistent tackling technique results in far too many missed opportunities in the open field.The corner brings legitimate value in zone coverage schemes where his awareness and closing quickness become assets rather than liabilities.

GARRETT DELLINGER SCOUTING REPORT
Scheme fit will be crucial for Dellinger's success at the next level. His skill set aligns well with gap and power run schemes where his strength and ability to drive defenders off the ball can be maximized. In pass protection, he profiles as a capable guard in both man and zone-blocking systems, with the versatility to potentially serve as a swing tackle in emergencies.
While not a plug-and-play starter, Dellinger has the tools to develop into a reliable interior lineman with development. His experience against top-tier competition and positional flexibility makes him a solid prospect for teams looking to add some depth and potential to their offensive line room in the middle rounds of the draft.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Positional versatility along the offensive line, showcasing the ability to play multiple spots and adapt to different blocking assignments as needed.
- Stout anchor in pass protection, utilizing a wide base and powerful hands to stonewall rushers and maintain the integrity of the pocket.
- Quick processor who rapidly identifies and neutralizes stunts and twists, displaying a keen understanding of defensive schemes and alignments.
- Heavy hands and strong initial punch in run blocking, creating movement at the point of attack and sealing off defenders to create running lanes.
- Effective second-level blocker who takes good angles and maintains engagement with linebackers, enhancing the ground game's explosiveness.
- Iron man durability and conditioning, consistently available for high snap counts and maintaining performance deep into games against quality competition.
- Battle-tested against elite SEC competition, holding his own against some of the nation's top defensive line prospects week in and week out.
- Demonstrated year-over-year improvement, suggesting a coachable player with untapped potential and a high ceiling for development at the next level.
- Inconsistent pad level in pass sets can lead to leverage issues, allowing savvy defenders to get under his pads and drive him back into the pocket.
- Hand placement in pass protection needs refinement, as inside hand strikes often land wide, reducing his ability to control defenders effectively.
- Balance issues, particularly against counter moves, can leave him susceptible to push-pull techniques and compromise his ability to recover against skilled rushers.
- Lower body agility lags behind upper body quickness, potentially creating mismatches against explosive interior defenders in the NFL.
- Tendency to play over his toes in the run game, leading to lunging and making him vulnerable to swim moves and quick penetration by defensive linemen.
Scouting Report: Summary
Dellinger brings a solid foundation of skills to the table, particularly excelling in pass protection where his anchor and hand usage shine. His ability to stone rush attempts and provide a clean pocket will be valued by teams looking to bolster their pass blocking. In the run game, Dellinger flashes potential with his power and ability to create initial movement, though consistency remains an area for growth.Scheme fit will be crucial for Dellinger's success at the next level.

They select Garrett Dellinger in the 7th when they could've had Mbow in the 4th 
These middle of the draft picks were not impressive at all. Man, they need to trade them picks next time...they ain't doing shyt with them extra picks.

Zy Alexander and Logan Brown haven't even been drafted.
I'm gonna be watching Oronde Gadsden to see how he does out there. He reminds me of Likely.
Bears gonna regret drafting Loveland over Tyler Warren.

They don’t take weak interior linemen
I don’t know some of these day 3 picks but overall I like our picks
We drafted at all the positions we needed depth
Still think going safety in the 1st was a mistake but it is what it is
