ISAIAH JATTA OT BYU

HEIGHT: 6-5 (35%*)
WEIGHT: 293 (5%*)
HANDS: 9 2/8 (15%*)
ARM: 34 1/8 (50%*)
SPAN: 83 7/8 (96%*)
FORTY: 5.13 (P) (76%*)
SHUT: 4.94 (P) (16%*)
10YD: 1.82 (P) (35%*)
VERT: 27.5 (P) (43%*)
BROAD: 109 (P) (83%*)
3CONE: 7.85 (P) (44%*)

SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY
Jatta's 2025 tape at BYU is the only real sample that matters, and it shows a tackle who competes hard and keeps his man off the quarterback without consistently winning reps. He'll absorb a bull rush and redirect well enough, but too many pass sets end with him catching up rather than staying in control. The footwork is functional, not refined. When he's asked to fire off the ball in BYU's gap runs and drive a defender downhill, that's where the tape looks best. He moves people on down blocks and double teams, and he's looking for second-level work when his guy is handled. That run blocking demeanor is real.

The body is a concern at the next level. He's super light for a tackle and NFL power rushers will test that anchor in ways Big 12 defensive ends didn't. He needs to add mass without losing the foot quickness that bailed him out on tape, and that's a tricky balance. The penalty issues from 2025, mostly hands, suggest a player whose technique breaks down under stress and who compensates by grabbing. Power and gap schemes that let him play downhill and attack are the best fit. Wide zone concepts that demand him to cover ground laterally over distance will expose the limitations. Swing tackle who backs up both sides is the realistic role early, with a chance to compete for a starting right tackle spot if the weight comes and the technique tightens. The floor is a practice squad body still developing into an NFL frame.

BRENT AUSTIN CB CALIFORNIA

HEIGHT: 5-11 (41%*)
WEIGHT: 180 (8%*)
HANDS: 8 1/8 (9%*)
ARM: 30 2/8 (23%*)
SPAN: 74 1/8 (44%*)
FORTY: 4.45 (P) (68%*)
SHUT: 4.54 (P) (1%*)
10YD: 1.56 (P) (48%*)
VERT: 31.5 (P) (6%*)
BROAD: 124 (P) (64%*)
3CONE: 7.28 (P) (4%*)

SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY
Austin's coverage work in zone was genuinely strong, and that kind of production in the ACC, where he was targeted consistently and still held receivers to under a 46% catch rate, is worth paying attention to. The jump he made from USF to Cal was significant. He looked more confident reading route concepts, more decisive driving on throws, and more composed when the ball came his way. That kind of year-over-year improvement tells you the ceiling might not be set yet.

The question is always going to come back to his body. Under 180 pounds is a hard sell for an NFL corner, and it showed on film when physical receivers got into him at the line or through contact at the top of routes. His man coverage reps are a clear step down from his zone work. At Virginia Tech, you could see him lose his positioning when asked to stay attached in man against a receiver who wanted to use his frame. Press-man reps at the next level will be a problem until the weight comes. He also does not offer much as a run defender, which limits his ability to stay on the field in early downs.

The fit is a zone-heavy defense, Cover 3 or Cover 4, where he can play off the ball and use his eyes and feet rather than his frame. A team that runs pattern-match concepts would get the most out of him. He needs a strength program and patience, but the 2025 coverage tape gives you something to work with that most corners ranked in this range do not have.

MATT LAUTER | TE | BOISE STATE

• HEIGHT: 6-3
• WEIGHT: 246
• HANDS: 9
• ARM: 31 ⅜
• SPAN: 77 ⅜
• FORTY: 4.68
• 10YD: 1.68
• SHUT: 4.40
• 3CONE: 7.02
• VERT: 30
• BROAD: 114 (9’6”)
• BENCH: 21

Scouting Report: Summary

Lauter is a two-way tight end who has shown flashes as a pass-game asset. He runs crisp routes, adjusts well to throws in traffic, and can break tackles for extra yards. His 2024 season (47 catches, 619 yards, 7 TDs) highlighted his upside, but his production dipped in 2025 (37 catches, 330 yards, 12 TDs) with more drops and inconsistency.

• Strengths:• Crisp route running, separation underneath.
• Reliable hands in contested situations.
• Toughness after the catch, breaks tackles.
• Versatility: lined up inline, slot, and wide.
• Special teams experience (punt coverage).

• Weaknesses:• Undersized frame and below-average length.
• Blocking struggles, especially against stronger defenders.
• Average athleticism; lacks speed and wiggle.
• Drop issues (six in 2025, 14% rate).
• Pass protection limitations.

JUSTIN PICKETT | OL | DUKE

• HEIGHT: 6-7
• WEIGHT: 311
• HANDS: 9 ⅝
• ARM: 33
• SPAN: 79 ¾
• FORTY: 5.01
• 20YD: 2.90
• 10YD: 1.65
• BENCH: 26
• VERT: 27.5
• BROAD: 8’11”
• SHUT: 4.66
• 3CONE: 7.59

Scouting Report: Summary

Pickett is a long, versatile offensive lineman who played primarily at guard for Duke but has the size and wingspan of a tackle. His best traits show up in pass protection, where his length and balance allow him to keep defenders at bay. He’s less effective in the run game, where his pad level and play strength can lead to stalemates rather than drive blocks.

• Strengths:• Excellent size and length for the position.
• Solid pass blocker with good hand placement.
• Versatility to play guard or tackle.
• Durable multi-year starter at Duke.

• Weaknesses:• Average athleticism; lacks quickness in space.
• Run blocking is inconsistent, struggles to generate push.
• Tall frame can lead to leverage issues against shorter, powerful defenders.
• Projection capped as depth piece rather than starter.

Projection & Fit

• Draft Range: Round 6–7 / Priority Free Agent
• NFL Comparison: Similar to players like Dan Skipper (swing tackle/guard depth with size but limited athleticism).
• Best Fit: Teams needing versatile depth across the offensive line, particularly in pass-heavy schemes where his length is an asset.

Key Takeaway

Justin Pickett is a big-bodied lineman with guard/tackle versatility who offers value as a depth piece. His pass protection skills are his calling card, but his run blocking and athletic limitations keep him from being a high-ceiling prospect. He’s the type of player who can stick on a roster as a swing backup and special teams contributor.

DEVIN LAFAYETTE, S | TROY

HEIGHT: 6-1
WEIGHT: 205
HANDS: 9 ½
ARM: 31 ½
SPAN: 76
FORTY: 4.57
10YD: 1.61
SHUT: 4.32
3CONE: 6.95
VERT: 35
BROAD: 122
BENCH: 17


SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY

Lafayette is a rangy safety with solid athleticism and a productive career at Troy. He shows good instincts in zone coverage, closing speed to the ball, and reliable tackling in space. His ball skills are evident with multiple interceptions and pass breakups across his collegiate seasons, and he’s comfortable playing both deep safety and in the box.

The concerns center on his play strength and consistency against bigger receivers and tight ends. He can be late to disengage from blocks in run support, and while his speed is adequate, he doesn’t have elite recovery burst to erase mistakes.

His best fit is as a versatile safety in a zone-heavy scheme, with immediate special teams value. Lafayette projects as a Day 3 pick who can develop into a rotational defensive back and reliable depth piece.

NIKLAS HENNING | OL | QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY

• HEIGHT: 6-6
• WEIGHT: ~300
• ARM: 34


Scouting Report: Summary

Henning is a converted tight end turned offensive tackle who has quickly risen into draft conversations thanks to his blend of size, athleticism, and adaptability. His background in soccer and basketball shows up in his footwork and balance, while his length (34-inch arms) gives him prototypical tackle traits.

• Strengths:• Rare athleticism for his size, with quick feet and explosiveness.
• Versatility: earned All-Canadian honors at both tight end and offensive tackle.
• High football IQ and coachability, praised at showcase events.
• Anchored Queen’s offensive line during their Yates Cup championship run.

• Weaknesses:• Still raw in technique, especially against high-level pass rushers.
• Needs to add functional strength to handle NFL/CFL interior defenders.
• Limited experience at OL compared to peers; developmental curve ahead.


Projection & Fit

• CFL Draft: Projected early-round pick, top U SPORTS OL prospect.
• NFL Draft: Developmental prospect; size and athleticism may earn him a camp invite or late-round flyer.
• Best Fit: Zone-blocking schemes that value mobility and length, with time to develop technique.


Key Takeaway

Niklas Henning is a high-upside offensive lineman whose rare athletic profile and adaptability make him one of the most intriguing Canadian prospects in 2026. While raw, his ceiling is significant, and he could become a versatile pro lineman with proper development.



*Hahahah, this guy is f[raiders_icon]cking great. Don’t know if he’ll be a great player in the NFL, but you gotta love how he plays. Moves great and just f’n HAS to plant the guy he’s blocking into the ground. HAS TO!!! Hahaha

XAVIAN SOREY JR. LB ARKANSAS

HEIGHT: 6-2 (55%*)
WEIGHT: 228 (10%*)
HANDS: 9 3/4 (56%*)
ARM: 31 5/8 (36%*)
SPAN: 77 7/8 (87%*)
FORTY: 4.63 (C) (73%*)
SHUT: 4.42 (C) (22%*)
10YD: 1.66 (C) (28%*)
VERT: 37.5 (C) (85%*)
BROAD: 120 (C) (68%*)
3CONE: 7.00 (C) (71%*)
BENCH: 16 (P) (10%*)

SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY
Sorey's journey to the NFL draft is a tale of untapped potential. His elite athleticism and tackling ability make him an intriguing prospect for teams looking to bolster their linebacker corps. However, his limited college production and areas for improvement in run defense and pass rush will likely see him drafted as a developmental prospect with upside.

In the NFL, Sorey projects as a weakside linebacker in a 4-3 scheme or an inside linebacker in a 3-4 system that can maximize his coverage skills and sideline-to-sideline speed. His special teams experience will be valuable as he works to earn a larger defensive role. Teams with strong linebacker development programs will be particularly intrigued by Sorey's raw tools.

Ultimately, Sorey's success at the next level will depend on his ability to refine his skills and translate his athletic gifts into consistent on-field production. If he can make that leap, he has the potential to become a dynamic, three-down linebacker in the NFL.

Love the BYU boys comin in. Jatta needs a lot of work but could develop. No way he competes for a 53 spot imo, but who knows. Tanner Wall was a team captain and part of a great defense. He can cover, tackle, and he's a ball hawk. Very smart player. Chase Roberts has excellent hands and runs great routes. He's where he needs to be and just makes the catch regardless. Roberts & Wall will compete imo

Love the Roman Hemby pickup, that's rb3 all day long there

Harris has still not been signed by anyone. Either he is waiting for the best offer, or he is being interrogated by police wondering what the hell he did.
