Scouting Reports- G

A-H / I-P / Q-Z

Will Rackley                                                                                                                                       Lehigh

    Small school player with good size and long arms.  Has played a lot of T and could still get a look there.  Has played G and C so he has some versatility.  Has good size for T but despite having good athleticism he struggles some laterally so he might be a better fit at G.  Has decent knee bend in pass protection but tends to play too high when run blocking.  Runs well and has good flexibility.  Dominated his level of competition.  Will be making a jump in competition but has really good athleticism.  Will need time to improve his technique and strength but has the ability to develop into a good player on the next level.

Steven Schilling                                                                                                                              Michigan

    Is a battler with a good frame.  Has good athletic ability and can get to the second level.  Good effort and sticks to blocks.  Has decent bulk but plays like someone who really lacks bulk.  Typically gets pushed backwards and doesn't get any movement in run blocking.  Does some grabbing and overextending when he starts to get pushed backwards.  Isn't as effective as you would think with his frame, athleticism and demeanor.  At times he plays too high.  Athletically looks like a solid prospect but the results have been borderline free agent.  Will likely get drafted in the middle rounds because of potential but he must increase production if he ever wants to see the field.

Caleb Schlauderaff                                                                                                                                Utah

    Good size and has decent strength.  Decent run blocker who plays with decent knee bend.  Limited athlete who lacks foot quickness.  At times will struggle to pull.  Has trouble staying with quick defenders.  Will get a look in a scheme that requires their blockers to block straight ahead.

Sam Sterner                                                                                                                                    Wyoming

    Has decent size.  Limited athlete but has been fairly efficient.  Has decent strength in pass protection.  Doesn't move real well and is a little stiff.  Doesn't get much movement in run blocking.  Decent college player who might lack athleticism needed for next level.

Chris Stewart                                                                                                                             Notre Dame

    Large man who is a load in the box.  Big and strong and is hard to get off of when he gets his hands on the defender.  Has decent feet for a large man but struggles to move any distance because he is so large.  Could benefit from dropping some weight.  Weight saps his mobility and makes him struggle in space.  Struggles to get to the second level.  Can't really pull and struggles to readjust.  Could get a look in the right system.

Adrian Thomas                                                                                                                                   Hawaii

    Tall player with good bulk.  Has experience at T but doesn't really have the feet to play out there.  Has good strength and has good knee bend for a tall guy while run blocking.  Gets some movement in his run blocking.  Has average feet but is so big and has long arms that it isn't easy for defenders to get around him.  Anchors well and has decent knee bend.  Solid prospect who is a little under the radar.  Isn't likely to get drafted but could surprise once he gets into a camp.

Bo Thran                                                                                                                                            Oregon

    Played T but isn't athletic enough to stay out there.  Has good height but lacks some bulk.  Is a waist bender with slow feet.  Is kind of stiff but he will be a better fit at G.  Has decent strength and is aggressive and physical.  Good college player who will likely get a shot as an undrafted free agent. 

Andrew Tiller                                                                                                                                  Syracuse

    Large man who has a lot of strength.  Is stiff and isn't a knee bender.  Really struggles in pass protection.  Plays too high and is a get in the way type blocker.  Every now and then will fire off the ball with good knee bend and drive defenders downfield but it doesn't happen often.  Strong enough to toss defenders from time to time despite being upright.  Can run a little for a big guy.  Has some raw abilities but has a long way to go.  Also has had a weight issue in the past.  Lost around 70 lbs to get where he is today.  Could be an interesting developmental type.

Ryan Tolar                                                                                                                                 Washington

    Has good height but lacks some bulk.  Aggressive player who moves well.  Plays too high and struggles to get any movement in his blocks.  Is a little stiff in the hips and struggles some to readjust.  Good college player who may not be special enough for the next level.

Julian Vandervelde                                                                                                                                Iowa

    Solid player with marginal size.  Is not overly flashy but at times dominated competition in the Big Ten.  Plays with good technique and gives good effort.  Doesn't get a ton of movement in his run blocking but gets some and he does a good job sealing the hole off.  Finishes his blocks and can get to the second level.  Is hard to move and does a decent job anchoring in pass protection.  Has decent athletic ability but not elite.  Has short arms and will struggle with long armed defenders.  Has been a little underrated and could surprise once he gets to camp.

Danny Watkins                                                                                                                                   Baylor

    Overaged former firefighter.  Large man with good strength.  Moves well for a big guy.  Played T and could still get a look at RT.  Has marginal feet outside and struggles with speed.  Plays with decent knee bend and can run.  Gets good movement in run blocking.  Just learning the G position so will need a little time to adjust if he plays there.  Is a little slow off the snap and will struggle some with quick defenders.  With his strength and run blocking ability he could jump into the lineup pretty quickly in the right system.

Matt Wetterer                                                                                                                               Louisville

    Has good size.  Is not overly athletic.  Has slow feet and doesn't anchor real well.  Commits a lot of penalties.  Not much of a prospect.

Kenny Wiggins                                                                                                                               Fresno St

    Played T but doesn't have the feet to stay out there.  Waist bender who has a tendency to play high.  Is a little stiff.  Is inconsistent as a run blocker but at times he can be dominant when he plays with good technique.  Developmental type who has some ability.

Eddie Williams                                                                                                                                    UCLA

    Has good bulk.  Really aggressive player who has good strength.  Will play with good knee bend but his feet aren't overly quick which make him overextend and lose balance in both run and pass blocking.  Gets good blocking angles and at times can bury the defender.  He is a tough player who anchors well.  Fractured an ankle in 2009 that may need to be looked at.  Solid college player who lacks great athletic ability but will still likely get a shot.

Keith Williams                                                                                                                               Nebraska

    Has good size and will show some power.  Doesn't move overly well and can be inconsistent.  Will likely get a shot as a free agent.
