#60: Matt Hennessy

Hennessy has played close to 2,500 snaps the last three seasons. Scouting Report:
  • Very good athlete with very good balance and quickness.
  • Very good competitive toughness, he’s a scrapper who will fight ‘til the whistle.
  • Coaching staff awarded him single digit jersey, an honor for team leaders and tone setters.
  • His core and lower body strength are promising. Squatty dude.
  • Very good mental processing, he made line calls, anticipated and communicated opposing pressure packages, and constantly shows an ability to adjust to defenders post-snap.
  • Good, quick hands with nice placement and an ability to lock down opponents.
  • Brings the goods to be a center who can pull or factor into screen plays.
  • Very good one zone concepts, he’s good at timing combo blocks and reaching opponents.
  • The best second level blocker in this class, bar none.
  • Good in pass protection, displays the anticipation, balance, and lateral mobility to be an asset here.
  • According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed pressure on 1.25% of his true pass sets the last two seasons.
  • Solid anchor, has the kind of base and technique to withstand power.
  • 32” arms are in the 50th percentile for a center prospect.
  • Adequate play strength may limit his wins to a lot of “boring” blocks.
  • Adequate gap blocker who will not get significant drive at POA.
  • College blocking scheme did not ask a lot from him in pass protection as slides made him responsible for one gap.
#67: Malik Harrison

Strengths
Harrison is very quick to fill the gap and get to the running back. He reads the flow very well and then uses his quickness to get downhill and plug the hole. When Harrison arrives, he brings the pop with him. He can close on his target quickly and good taking down runners one on one. Harrison also very good at backside pursuit.

His physicality isn’t just limited to his tackling, Harrison does a good job of shedding blockers in the run and pass game. His length allows him to keep blockers at bay while he tries to get loose and make the play. Does well to navigate through traffic when pursuing the runner.

Malik does provide some pass rush and blitzing from the linebacker spot. Recorded four sacks as a senior for the Buckeyes. Not an every down rusher but situationally he can be very effective with his timing of shooting the gaps.

Weaknesses
His aggressive play style can get him burned at times. He will bite on play action fakes that will leave a vacated spot in the defense when he tries getting downhill too quickly. He doesn’t have the best instincts in coverage so getting him up to speed will be paramount for the defensive staff.

Not a real fluid athlete in space, does well for someone of his size. His recovery speed is average at best when he gets out of position. Deeper drops will cause him fits as he wasn’t asked to do this much for the Buckeyes. He is more of quarterback spy or playing closer to the line of scrimmage.

#84 Zack Moss RB

  • Good-looking build for the position with a strong lower and upper half
  • He sees the field very well behind the line; he will hit obvious holes with burst as well as looking for obvious cutback lanes to find a seam
  • His contact balance is unbelievable; PAC-12 football players consistently bounced off of him
  • It takes the whole team to bring him down at times; he has a strong will to gain every last yard

  • 4.5 40 speed pro day results

I think this is my favorite mock that I've seen thus far:

Trades are fairly realistic - Rams typically look to trade down and get more picks.

You nail the needs with value pretty well.

Great work.
