Cover corner with average size and outstanding speed. Has shown the instincts to play off coverage and the athleticism to play press. It is a bit of a concern that scouts and even opposing coaches have commented on Darby’s toughness, but he doesn’t have very many missed or broken tackles on his docket and his cover skills should be prioritized over his run support regardless. He clearly has starter’s ability at the position. – Lance Zierlein

Collins is a tempo-setter who can energize a defense with his downhill, aggressive style. He is at his best when he can attack rather than sit back in coverage and process. Collins' tackling, pursuit angles and speed to the sideline can help a defense shut down rushing attacks, but his inconsistencies in coverage will be tested by NFL offenses. – Lance Zierlein

Immensely talented cornerback who brings the entire triangle (height, weight, speed) with him. Still learning technique and how to sink his feet with his eyes, but the instincts and athleticism to make plays on the ball both short and deep are what set him apart. Collins is a work in progress, but his physical and play traits create a very high ceiling if he continues to learn to play the position. – Lance Zierlein

Physical cornerback who’s at his best when he’s able to see the play develop in front of him rather than having to lock down a target as a man-to-man cover corner. Carter’s ability to tackle and play the ball in space should interest zone defenses, but a transition to safety might make sense if he can carry a bit more weight. – Lance Zierlein

Box safety with some coverage traits that should help him stick with some of the athletic, matchup-based tight ends. He has shown improved consistency as a tackler and has a knack for creating turnovers. He could come in and earn a spot with special-teams play while he tries to develop his instincts over time. – Lance Zierlein

Rock-steady safety with an ability to play in a variety of schemes thanks to his ability to cover, tackle and blitz. Bonner was asked to blitz and play near the line of scrimmage more than most safeties in this draft, but his background as a cornerback offers potential to play in a variety of spots on the field. Bonner must answer questions about his speed and instincts if he is to stick with an NFL team. – Lance Zierlein

Teams have an issue with his lack of production in 2014, but his initial burst off the snap can’t be dismissed. Wright has been in a defensive-line rotation at Auburn over the last two seasons, but has never really shown an ability to be a run-stuffer. Wright is a fit in a penetrating scheme, but he must continue to improve as a pass rusher. – Lance Zierlein

Enormously powerful defensive lineman. Has the look and feel of the biggest, strongest kid on the playground but hasn’t figured out how to unlock his natural gifts and consistently dominate the rest of the kids on the playground just yet. Williams can play in an odd or even front, and is able to hold the point as a two-gapper or disrupt upfield. With coaching and more experience, Williams should be able to match the athleticism with the power and become a consistent Pro Bowler with a ceiling that goes even higher than that. – Lance Zierlein

High-motor interior lineman who could become a five-technique in a 3-4 defense with more technique work. Walton has the traits to become an above-average player against the run and should be able to play in both odd and even fronts. – Lance Zierlein

Effort-oriented power end with a willingness to battle and fight at the point of attack. He’s not big enough to play end in a 3-4, so he’ll have to become an above-average run thumper as a 4-3 power end. – Lance Zierlein
