Overview from NFL.com

Historically, a player with Land’s lack of mass and length would face an uphill battle trying to make it as a 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL, but his ability to threaten the pocket should generate interest from teams. Land is a very natural, instinctive rusher with the get-off, counters and fluidity to stress some tackles. He doesn’t have enough sand in his pants to hold up against the run and teams might try him as a 4-3 outside linebacker with sub-package rush ability off the edge. Land might need a year or two on a practice squad to continue to develop.
Strengths
  • Video game production in 2021, with 25.5 tackles for loss and 19 sacks.
  • Long strides can outpace pass sets to the top of the track.
  • Good bend-and-flatten around the corner.
  • Effort and athleticism can overwhelm lesser tackles.
  • Instinctive rusher with natural hands and counters.
  • Does a nice job of targeting and attacking the outside hand.
  • Plus agility as a tackler in space.
Weaknesses
  • Lack of functional size to handle run-blocking snaps as a pro.
  • Must prove he can carry substantially more weight on his frame.
  • Attempts to sit down and set the edge crumble.
  • Too easily pushed off his grass or jolted off-balance by first contact.
  • Unable to generate push with his speed-to-power move.
He is 6'3.5" and 236 lbs

Overview
Athletic tackle who currently offers more in pass protection than he does as a run blocker. Bostic has quick feet and good length, but he lacks play strength in his upper half. He’s quick to the spot as a lateral blocker and is smooth when asked to pull. He has trouble neutralizing and sustaining base blocks in front of him and doesn’t play with enough grit at the point of attack. His pass protection features a quality mirror and good redirection against athletic rushers, but he’ll need to sit and anchor more consistently to earn a role as an NFL swing tackle.
Strengths
  • Athletic tackle with experience at tight end.
  • Accelerates as a lateral blocker to capture the outside shoulder.
  • Shuffles feet through contact to find block-sealing position.
  • Keeps reaching and poking with his arm length in protection.
  • Mirrors pass rusher with rapid slides.
  • Redirects to inside movement without a hitch.
  • Able to open hips and recover with relative ease.
Weaknesses
  • Plays with low-burn energy as a run blocker.
  • Missing play strength to command blocks at point of attack.
  • Gets into space with upright posture and tall pads.
  • Lacks feel for angles up to linebackers.
  • Quick to turn outside half to rusher and open inside pathway.
  • Gets rolled back into the pocket by bull rushers.

Overview by NFL.com

Former tackle projecting to guard-only prospect with a broad frame, good power and below-average athleticism. Bass’ lack of arm length will be a concern at any O-line position, but he plays with inside hands and decent know-how, so he should be able to work around it. He’s tight-hipped and doesn’t play with great pad level or a wide base but still manages to create some movement with powerful leg drive. He lacks lateral quickness as a zone blocker and loses effectiveness the further he gets away from home base. Bass’ toughness and size will give him a leg up in a battle for a backup role.
Strengths
  • Good thickness throughout his frame.
  • Experience at left tackle should help his pass pro at guard.
  • Keeps hands cocked and ready in his pass sets.
  • Makes his first contact count on combo blocks.
  • Climbs to second level with adequate timing and angles.
  • Uses inside hands and accelerating feet to create movement.
  • Stays after his work and finishes with some grit.
Weaknesses
  • Severely lacking proportional length for his size.
  • Could have trouble redirecting edge pressure when beaten.
  • Has trouble getting hands reset when defender gets into him.
  • Slow reaction time on first lateral steps as run blocker.
  • Upright in space and struggles adjusting to movement.

Never say never. Jerry essentially said we were moving on, but there are other things he said that didn't prove true.

From NFL.com

Overview
Slot receiver with adequate size who finds ways to get open thanks to tempo variance over route acumen. Moreno-Cropper’s ball skills shine when he’s elevating and making adjustments mid-flight, but he struggles when attempting to play through contact and make contested catches. His versatility to throw, run jet sweeps and operate outside of the norm for his position could be intriguing for creative play-callers and teams looking to add competition at receiver on Day 3.
Strengths
  • Beats press with acceleration.
  • Tempo alterations at route stems and break points.
  • Sets up coverage with impressive secondary speed.
  • Possesses hips and feet to gather and turn abruptly.
  • Loose upper half to open and pick throws off his back hip.
  • Gadget option with two touchdown passes and experience running zone-read.
  • Above average run-after-catch talent.
Weaknesses
  • Press can slow his release out on the flanks.
  • Rounds off his routes and drifts up toward coverage.
  • Needs to improve play strength to play through route contact.
  • Can be too content to lose battles for catch space.
  • Needs to work back to the football with more vigor.
  • Had too many focus drops in traffic and on big-play opportunities.
4.4 40 time
