Whose stock is going down?

T'Vondre Sweat, IDL, Texas

T'Vondre Sweat burst onto the draft radar this season after a big year for the Longhorns. He was dominant against the run and flashed pass-rushing ability even at 362 lbs. However, he did not weigh in at Mobile which is typically an expectation of attendees. While it might be speculation, there's a reason why Sweat did not weigh in and it's probably not because he lost weight. Sweat was challenged by coaches to finish through the rep. When focused he is impossible to block, but this could provide some pause for teams.

Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona

With a tackle class rich in talent, Morgan might have been the apple of the eye of teams looking for a tackle late in the 1st. Morgan played well this year recovering from a torn ACL and there was hope for him to stay at tackle at the NFL level. Measuring with under 33-inch arms is a big blow to that hope. He played well this week but some teams will not draft him as a tackle early. Historically, the Chiefs have been a team that sticks to their thresholds. Jordan Morgan likely will not be drafted to play tackle by the Chiefs.

Devontez Walker, WR, UNC

After a complicated transfer process to UNC, the thought was "Tez" would be the riser throughout the draft process. He dominated at Kent State and had a delayed start to his final season with Drake Maye. As a size/speed combo. Tez was a frequent first-round mock for evaluators. After some drops and lack of separation against top competition, there are several receivers that might pass him throughout the process.

Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina

Xavier Legette measured about two inches shorter than he was listed at South Carolina. He was GPS-clocked as one of the fastest ball carriers in college football this season. However, his size (6'1") and limited route tree really brought down his ceiling as a prospect. The route tree and speed led to DK Metcalf comparisons but the smaller size and inability to frequently generate separation might have him waiting longer to hear his name called than anticipated.
