Scouting Report: Strengths
- Gilmore can flip his hips and run, with good top-end speed and the length to make plays on the ball.
- A coordinated athlete with good footwork and balance. A heady cover player with above-average · feel and anticipation in space.
- Long and lean and a very fluid mover. Gilmore shows good route recognition and the ability to transition out of his backpedal and close on the ball fast.
- Has the change-of-direction ability to mirror underneath but did solid work out of press and off coverage.
- Tracks the ball well downfield and shows good ball skills, including the ability to go up and high-point it in contested-catch situations.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Needs to do a better job of wrapping up, both in run support and in tackling after the catch. Gilmore looks to deliver big hits but ends up slipping off too many tackles.
- Isn’t overly physical and might struggle to win early against bigger receivers in the NFL. He’s also underpowered in run support, not aggressive enough coming downhill, and too much of a grab-and-drag tackler.
- Susceptible to double moves, though that could be coached out of him. But the problem is that Gilmore doesn’t track the ball downfield, and he seems to lack the ball skills to break up plays.
- Needs to develop a better understanding of route combinations and better overall vision.
