WEAKNESSES

—Level of competition was the lowest of any safety in the class.

—Ability to read and react in coverage is untested against NFL-caliber talent.

—Zone coverage will be a big learning curve for him against NFL speed and route combinations.

—Was on a different athletic level than everyone at Lenoir-Rhyne and everyone he faced in college; got by without instincts or awareness.

OVERALL

Dugger is a huge upside project with a low floor. Teams were lining up to try to unlock his potential after seeing him play during Senior Bowl week and looking at his athleticism and toughness. Dugger does need to develop, but his athletic profile suggests he can be great once he does get acclimated to the NFL.
