Where Arizona football players stand in final NFL mock draft

Both of the Bears’ starting safeties from last season are gone, so Stukes could make an immediate impact. He has a knack for finding the ball (seven interceptions in two seasons) and can transition to free safety after playing primarily nickel in college.

NFL: No. 48

Stukes is a rangy, versatile defensive back with the ability to play outside, in the slot or as a single-high safety. He’s a little older as a sixth-year senior, but he’s very twitchy and explosive, tying for the lead in the broad jump (10-foot-10) and posting the third-fastest 40-yard dash (4.33 seconds) among safeties at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine. He can find and play the ball, with seven interceptions and 29 pass breakups in his college career. He’s a reliable tackler. He receives excellent reviews for his character and intelligence, as well. Stukes possesses a skill set teams are coveting after watching the Seahawks win a Super Bowl utilizing similar players in the secondary last season.

The Athletic: No. 39 to Dallas Cowboys

CBSSports: No. 86 to Los Angeles Chargers

Pro Football Focus: No. 61

Stukes worked his way from walk-on to starter and projects best as a hybrid slot defender. While he lacks top-tier athleticism for outside roles, his instincts and playmaking ability stand out.

Genesis Smith

ESPN: No. 102 to Las Vegas Raiders

NFL: No. 88

The Athletic: No. 113 to Indianapolis Colts

CBSSports: No. 70 to Cleveland Browns

Pro Football Focus: No. 98

Smith has intriguing size and athletic traits for a single-high role, but inconsistency with physicality and play strength limits his reliability.

Dalton Johnson

ESPN: No. 210 to Kansas City Chiefs

The Athletic: No. 171 to New England Patriots
