Dane Brugler's "Beast" NFL Draft Guide has been released.
Quick highlights for Illini. Players with a summary quote have a deep dive into their prospect and so would project to be drafted or preferred UDFA's. Others make the "best of the rest category" and will be fighting for a camp contract.
Pat Bryant - WR21 (not ranked in top 100 prospects). 5th round grade
"Overall, Bryant isn't super dynamic, which will be tougher to mask against NFL competition, but his body coordination and ascending technique match well with his natural tracking skills. He projects as a backup possession target who can fight for a WR2 or WR3 role in the right situation."
Zakhari Franklin - WR102. UDFA Grade
Carson Goda - TE54. UDFA Grade
Seth Coleman - EDGE42. UDFA Grade
"Overall, Coleman doesn't bring much deception to his pass rush, but he offers length and bust to wrap the edge and affect the quarterback."
