Round 1, Pick #13: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

 

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

The assessment of Emmanwori’s tape could depend on which games you watch. He’s a physical specimen with rare size and outstanding speed, but he doesn’t always play with a “first to the action” mentality in run support. When he gets it cranked up, he becomes a much more effective tackler and overall run stopper from sideline to sideline. He’s capable of playing over the top, inside the box or even matching up with pass-catching tight ends. He’s upright with average transition fluidity in coverage, but he has great recovery speed and uses his length to throw a blanket over the catch point. He has rare NFL traits and talent, so a boost in urgency could take him from a good starter to a Pro Bowl-caliber player.

Strengths

  • Elite blend of traits, speed and versatility.
  • Has the skill set to match up with top tight ends.
  • Underestimating his range in space comes at a price.
  • Wingspan and ball skills like a five-star wide receiver.
  • Able to land punishing blows on catch targets.
  • Leaping and length help smother catch tries.
  • Has the speed to wipe out angles on wide runs.
  • Racked up solo tackles in all three seasons.

Weaknesses

  • Drifts through games without urgency at times.
  • Inconsistent downhill trigger in run support.
  • Block take-on and pursuit angles need improvement.
  • Gives too much ground to blockers instead of bypassing.
  • Hip tightness limits transition quickness in space.
  • Average instincts and route anticipation.

Round 3, Pick #98: Anthony Belton, OT, NC State

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

Belton is an enormous tackle with good power and long arms. He can bulldoze the roads clean for running backs but needs to play with better hand placement to sustain his early lead. Belton has the length to shove rushers up and around the pocket but his punch timing is inconsistent and he lacks the body control to consistently respond to inside counters. If a team can steady his feet and improve his hand placement, he could become a solid starter at right tackle, but he will need some help from time to time.

Strengths

  • Wide frame slows rushers’ progress at the edge.
  • Upper-body power to rock rushers off track with his punch.
  • Displays ability to sink pad level and drop a late anchor.
  • Surprisingly nimble feet getting to his back-side blocks.
  • Drive power widens gaps when squaring the block.
  • Potential to become a more dominant blocker with tweaks to hands.
  • Hungry to drive opponents into the grass as a block finisher.

Weaknesses

  • Unable to gather and correct quickly when he oversteps his block.
  • Second-level targets are able to elude his blocks in space.
  • Inconsistent hand placement leads to slippage and shaky sustain.
  • Can be out-raced to the top of the rush.
  • Heel-clicking pass slides diminish anchor stability against power.
  • Slow to change direction and mirror rush counters.
