Troy Dye, LB, Oregon

At 6-foot-4, 226 pounds, (according to his Oregon bio) Troy Dye is certainly a bit undersized for an NFL linebacker. That being said, his impressive athleticism and overall playmaking skills make him an ideal fit for the modern NFL.

Dye shows tremendous range at the linebacker position and is an overall impressive player in space. He can make plays from sideline-to-sideline both against the run and in pass coverage. His size and lack of functional strength do get him in trouble at times, but Dye is an impressive player who will have plenty of fans in the NFL Draft community.

Jake Hanson, OL, Oregon

Oregon has arguably the best offensive line in all of college football. They have many NFL draft prospects up front and center Jake Hanson is among the most impressive. Hanson is a mobile center prospect who shines in space and shows good overall skills in pass protection. However, he does lack some functional strength which can become a major issue when engaged against interior defenders.

Hanson has a great chance to become one of the top centers in the 2020 NFL Draft class. His performance against a talented Auburn defensive line could go a long way towards cementing his draft status.

Calvin Throckmorton, OT, Oregon

Calvin Throckmorton is a bit raw as an NFL draft prospect, but the skills are in place for him to be a coveted player next April. Throckmorton moves his feet well and shows good explosion at the point of attack. He is also a powerful player who shows impressive power in his hands and his lower body.

The Oregon right tackle is an impressive player who excels in both pass protection and as a run blocker. If he can become a more consistent player up front, Throckmorton has a chance to be a fast riser throughout the 2020 NFL Draft process.
