Looks like Wease got a larger contract than Armstrong for what it's worth. I feel like one of the two could make the 53, or potentially both to the PS.

Brugler had Marshall 28th:
A four-year starter at Florida, Marshall was an outside cornerback in former defensive coordinator Austin Armstrong’s multiple coverage scheme. A former five-star recruit, he was an immediate contributor in Gainesville and flashed his talent early, although he struggled to take the next step in his development (seven receiving touchdowns allowed, zero interceptions the past two seasons).
Marshall displays the feet to press and smoothly transition with route breaks, although he has trouble making up ground once he loses a step in coverage. He struggles to anticipate from depth and stay ahead of plays. He also needs to be more aggressive in his approach, including as a run defender. Overall, Marshall has the size and athletic ability to tighten throwing windows in man coverage, but inconsistent reads and reactions are too common on his tape. If NFL teams are convinced he is coachable, he is a worthy draft-and-develop candidate.

Strengths
Plays with a ton of confidence in man-to-man, his preferred coverage
Good-looking athlete who can match up with big and small pass catchers
Teases explosiveness and balance in movements
Efficiently sorts through stacks and combination routes
Locates and makes plays on the ball from trail coverage
Muddies catch points with his physical nature (led team in passes defended in 2022 and 2023)
Plays through contact well and gets physical early in rep
Started almost immediately as freshman and was battle-tested in the SEC
Weaknesses
His last interception came the weekend before Thanksgiving 2022
Looks like a technician on some plays, then doesn’t trust his foundation the next play
Average trigger burst from off coverage
Eyes pay rent in the backfield, and play fakes create wasted reaction steps
Crossers can gain a step on him too easily
Willing in run support, but reckless tendencies need to be fixed to help avoid misses
Needs to expand his special teams resume at next level
Suffered torn labrum as senior (Oct. 2024), which required season-ending surgery
Jason Marshall Jr. was born and raised in Miami with his parents. He started playing football at age 6, and it quickly became his passion. Throughout youth football, Marshall played quarterback and wide receiver and saw time on defense. He also played basketball and track, but football remained his focus. Marshall played for the Florida Fire South team in 7-on-7 in high school, although he didn’t participate in 2020 because of a fractured ankle.
Marshall enrolled at Miami Palmetto Senior High, where he was teammates with high-level FBS recruits such as defensive tackle Leonard Taylor III and running back Brashard Smith (both signed with Miami). A four-year starter, Marshall immediately earned a prominent role as a freshman in 2017 (started every game) and collected three interceptions. As a junior, he played both ways as a cornerback and wide receiver, helping Palmetto to a 9-2 record and the 2019 district title. He earned first-team all-county honors with 44 tackles, 20 passes defended and five interceptions. As a senior, Marshall battled through injuries but helped Palmetto to another playoff berth, earning first-team all-state honors and an invitation to the 2021 Under Armour All-America Game. He also lettered in basketball.
A five-star recruit, Marshall was the second-ranked cornerback (behind Kool-Aid McKinstry) in the 2021 recruiting class and the No. 9 recruit in Florida. He was the No. 29 recruit nationally. After his impressive freshman campaign, Marshall picked up an offer from Miami, his hometown program. As a sophomore, he added offers from Florida, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee and USC. After a number of official visits, Marshall released a top seven of Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU and Miami. However, the Hurricanes didn’t make the final cut when he narrowed his choice to Alabama, Clemson and Florida. At the start of his senior year, Marshall committed to the Gators and was the crown jewel of Dan Mullen’s final recruiting class as Florida’s head coach.
Marshall earned SEC Academic Honor Roll and graduated with a degree in education sciences (Dec. 2024) — he hopes to become a trainer after his playing days. He accepted his invitation to the East-West Shrine Bowl.
It was reported that Wease got 230k guaranteed. I did not see what Armstrong got.

And here’s Adams who he has 31st overall
A one-year starter at UCF, Adams was an outside cornerback in former defensive coordinator Addison Williams’ multiple coverage scheme (Cover 2, Cover 3 and press man). He worked his way into the starting rotation as a true freshman and played in 48 games over the past four years, although he never had more than four passes defended in any of those seasons.
Adams puts his length to good use when he redirects receivers at the line and makes them uncomfortable throughout the route. He can take away passing windows with his size, but his tape doesn’t show natural ball instincts, and he must become more disciplined in his process. Overall, Adams is long-limbed with enough athleticism to match routes from press, but he plays wild and upright in his movements, and his freelancing technique leads to spacing issues that NFL receivers will exploit. He is a developmental option for man-heavy teams.

Above-average height and length to match up with NFL size
Covers a lot of air space to swipe away throws
Plays physical brand of football with punchy jam
Efficient opening his hips from press to ride routes
Flashes an extra gear late when closing on catch point
Improved ability to throttle down and sting as tackler
Played on kick and punt coverages all four seasons (371 career special teams snaps)
Weaknesses
Thinly built with very little definition on his frame
Average movement skills on tape — testing numbers back that up
High cut and gets a tad gawky in coverage transitions
Footwork and technique are all over the place, both in press and off coverages
Flagged 16 times in college, including three pass interference penalties in 2024
Underwhelming college ball production
Spends too much time attached to wide receiver blocks
“BJ” Adams grew up outside of Atlanta with his parents. His father (Rico) introduced him to football, and he played multiple positions throughout youth levels. His younger brother (Christian) is a safety recruit out of Eagles Landing High in the 2026 recruiting class. Adams attended Arabia Mountain High in DeKalb County, Ga. (east of Atlanta). After playing primarily on JV as a sophomore, he moved up to varsity as a junior and collected 20 tackles as a cornerback and safety. Adams also played quarterback and wide receiver in 2019, accounting for three touchdowns (two passing, one receiving). As a senior, he helped Arabia to four wins and again played both ways as a quarterback (four passing touchdowns) and defensive back.
A three-star recruit, Adams was the 85th-ranked safety in the 2021 recruiting class and the No. 92 recruit in Georgia. He saw his recruitment kick into high gear between his junior and senior seasons with an offer from Troy (April 2020), followed by offers from Air Force, Akron, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Indiana, Kent State, UCF, Washington State and a number of FCS programs. Adams officially committed to UCF in July 2020 and was the fourth-ranked recruit in former head coach Josh Heupel’s 2021 class. A month after early signing day, Heupel left for the head-coaching job at Tennessee and was replaced by Gus Malzahn. Adams graduated with a degree from UCF (Dec. 2024).

He also had Ethan Robinson 38:
Louis Ethan Robinson was born in Bronxville, N.Y., with his parents (Louis and Tawanda). A basketball-focused athlete as a kid, he also grew up playing quarterback before switching to the secondary at Iona Prep. A three-year starter, he posted 30 tackles and one interception as a junior in 2019. A no-star recruit, he received only FCS offers and committed to Bucknell over several Ivy League programs. He started immediately and had a breakout season as a junior.
He jumped into the transfer portal after the 2023 season and received more than 20 offers from schools in the SEC, Big Ten and other conferences before choosing Minnesota. He started at outside cornerback for the Gophers and earned All-Big Ten honors in 2024. Though his recovery speed is lacking, Robinson has good feet and a natural understanding of route combinations to put himself in position to make plays. Overall, Robinson has strong off-man coverage skills, and the FCS-to-FBS jump wasn’t too big for him. He projects best as a Cover 2 corner with ball skills and toughness.

He has Eugene Asante 17 ranked LB with a 5th-6th round grade
A two-year starter at Auburn, Asante was the Will linebacker in defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin’s 4-2-5 base scheme. After struggling to find consistent snaps at North Carolina, he transferred to The Plains and became the ignitor on defense with 133 combined tackles over his final two seasons. Asante turned heads with his 40-yard dash at the combine, but it matched his speed on tape.
At his best downhill, he senses what is coming, trusts his eyes and fits gaps against the run or provides disruption as a blitzer. At times, his overaggressive play style will create unfavorable angles, and his below-average ball production reflects his inconsistent spacing in coverage. Overall, Asante needs to play with better restraint to avoid mistakes, but he sets the tempo with overflowing adrenaline. Players with his combination of speed, energy and competitive toughness usually find ways onto NFL rosters. His special teams impact will stand out immediately.

Strengths
Plays with speed and energy for days

Background
Eugene Asante grew up in Alexandria, Va., with his parents (Paul Asante-Manu and Juliana Mensah), who immigrated to the United States in 1996 from Ghana. His father, who shared bloodlines with rulers of the Ashanti Empire, died in February 2022 after a long battle with kidney disease.
Eugene was introduced to football by watching his brother (Larry), who is almost 13 years older. Larry played at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College before becoming an All-Big 12 safety at Nebraska (2007-09). He was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round (No. 160) of the 2010 NFL Draft and played six seasons in the NFL (2010-15). At age 7, Eugene started playing Pop Warner football and continued throughout middle school. He trained with his cousin (Nana Marfo), a high school coach. Eugene has several cousins who played college football, including cornerback Isaac Yiadom, a third-round pick (No. 99) out of Boston College in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Asante attended Westfield High in Fairfax County, where he was a four-year letterman. He played running back and defensive back over his first two years and was part of back-to-back 6A state titles. Going into his junior season, the coaching staff challenged Asante to step up at running back, and he responded by leading Westfield to an undefeated 15-0 record and the 2017 6A state championship (the program’s third straight). He dedicated his breakout junior season to his cousin (Samuel Kwarteng), who was shot and killed in April 2017. Asante earned first-team all-state and Northern Virginia player of the year honors as a junior with 1,866 rushing yards on 296 carries (6.3 average) and 15 touchdowns. As a senior, Asante became a starter at linebacker — his first time playing the position in high school — and took home first-team all-state honors. However, Westfield fell one game short of playing in a fourth-straight state championship game, suffering its first loss of the 2018 season in the state semifinals.
A four-star recruit, Asante was the 18th-ranked outside linebacker in the 2019 recruiting class and the No. 9 recruit in Virginia. While playing primarily on the offensive side of the ball throughout high school, he was initially recruited as a running back and picked up several FCS offers after his breakout junior season, including from Delaware State, Howard, Morgan State, New Hampshire, Sacred Heart, Towson and Villanova. After switching to linebacker as a senior, Asante started to receive more FBS interest, including his first FBS offer (Kent State) midway through his senior season.
Two weeks before the early signing day in December 2018, the recruiting floodgates opened, as Virginia Tech reached out with an offer followed by offers from Baylor, Miami, TCU and a dozen others. Asante committed to North Carolina over Florida State, Maryland, Nebraska and Virginia Tech. He was the second-ranked recruit in former head coach Mack Brown’s 2019 class (behind quarterback Sam Howell). After three seasons with the Tar Heels (mostly as a backup to Chazz Surratt), Asante entered the transfer portal and committed to Auburn (Jan. 2022). After spending most of the subsequent season as a redshirt on the scout team, he became a starter in 2023. He then took advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA because of the COVID-19 pandemic and returned for a sixth season. Asante owns a pitbull (Miss Penny). He graduated with a degree in liberal arts (May 2024) and accepted his invitation to the Senior Bowl.
