Love this kids footwork/balance . He's played all over the OL. Old Dominion's Nick Saldiveri plays with such great balance and bend. Really solid #SeniorBowl week for him. pic.twitter.com/sOIJeAZzW6— Bobby Football (@Rob__Paul) February 2, 2023I am loving C Nick Saldiveri right now Looks like he played RT at OD but is transitioning to IOL — only seen him play for one drive but I'm immediately sold on him being a player pic.twitter.com/JWLo4uIfZ9— Brad (@Graham_SFN) February 4, 2023Old Dominion RT Nick Saldiveri reaches and seals the LB for the key block to spring this TD run.Saldiveri plays with great bend/leverage for his size and he's one of the best G5 prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft and should have a big week at the @seniorbowl. pic.twitter.com/eanDO6AlqO— Bobby Football (@Rob__Paul) January 25, 2023

OD Nick Saldiveri could be become one of the better pass blocking centers in the NFL pic.twitter.com/7qsqXf6rx0

He's been coming up a lot on my twitter feed lately.

Get Nick Saldiveri in a room with 49ers Trent Williams

Check out his hand bait here on the DE

Doesn't re-land his punch super clean but he shows on tape consistently the ability to bait DE's into their pass rush move by showing hands then redirecting pic.twitter.com/q2etdnNKRo

Brad has a good eye for OL play. I think Nick will definitely be a climber from the senior bowl.

I could see him being pushed inside at center like Conner Williams currently is in Miami.

Can he be an NFL RT or will he play at guard? I like him regardless but I feel like our guards will be set with Banks and Burford but of course competition is a great thing.

Get him and the center from either Notre Dame or Michigan.

He can play C, G, RT a la Brunskill, but likely to stick at a center with the chance to develop into one of the better ones in the league. Things that stand out from his Senior Bowl practice:

Strike timing and accuracy
Grip strength
Hand reset/replace
Balance and bend in pass pro

Didn't see enough to get a feel for run blocking. What I especially like, tho, is in reading various scouting reports, his listed weaknesses are all things that I feel he adequately addressed at the senior bowl.
