Below, I've clipped intel from each prospects reports on the SIS NFL Draft Site, including their overall grade, how they graded in certain critical and positional factors, as well as scouting notes.

  • Overall Grade: Each player is graded based on how the scout thinks they will perform in the NFL by the beginning of their second year in the league. An overall classification can be found in (parentheses) beside the number grade, as well as a description of their role.
  • Critical and Positional Factors: Each factor is graded on the same scale as the overall grade, from 1-9. For each prospect, I've highlighted some below the line graded factors (5 is sufficient; 4 is mediocre: below the line) as well as what they do particularly well (6 is good; 7 is very good). If a player has no below the line or above the line grades, meaning they graded out as sufficient or good in all factors, they won't have a callout in their profile below. However, they are well on their way to becoming a certified Bandit Bro.

SIS Scouting Reports


We're on to Day 2 of the draft!

Bucs GM Jason Licht, widely regarded as one of the best GMs in the league, knows he has to rebuild their defense after successfully infusing the offense with Jalen McMillan and Bucky Irving in last year's draft.

First, he takes Nic Scourton and quickly gets a call from Brad Holmes, cursing him out. He wanted Scourton. So it goes.

Next, he drafts Carson Schwesinger, and here's Brandon Beane calling. You couldn't let the Bills get the guy who models his game after Matt Milano and Luke Keuchly? Fine, Jason. Be that way.

In the third round, after selecting Shavon Revel at 67 and Nohl Williams at 84, his phone rings and rings and never stops buzzing for the rest of the night. Thirty one GMs are envious of his picks. Licht tends to draft production over traits, and he rarely misses.

Todd Bowles falls asleep with a smile on his face.
