UDFA OG Drew Moss

Obviously limited clips, but you see the tools to work with. And very very close to the shuttle time that everyone looks for that generally predicts NFL success. He's got the feet. If he's got the strength, he could be very good here. Scheme fit.

Nice

The song "too late to apologize" but Shanny / Lynch tried
Nice pickup
Those are real impressive grades Plays two positions like Colby, another plus...
good pick. We need better pass protection
I just need some guys to take the leap. For the flack he gets, Colton McKivitz has. As did Jaylon Moore. Hoping we can get legit competition for starting LG, C, and swing tackle.
With those grades , maybe there's hope.


Bro looks like a tank here. What is his actual size?

I was thinking about that recently. I'm not a fan of Colton as a player but based on where he was drafted, he's actually a really solid player. I thought he improved last season. Same for Jaylon Moore. We need some guys to take this type of leap like you said.
Maybe Moss will be a good surprise. He's an interesting prospect. He fits what the Niners do.

6'4" 300 lbs
Watched his game against Colorado. He was @ RT in that one. He didn't look particularly good. Very much looked like an UDFA guy.

But he sure seems a lot better at IOL. See some nastiness to his game too, he just doesn't seem to be able to lock on with his hands very well and relies on getting a good punch more.

Based on the way the team has been acting they are clearly betting on the "bunch of guys" method of line building.

Trent
Bartch
Brendel
Puni
McKivitz

That's okay, the issue is that they are inconsistent. The real problem though is the total lack of known depth. Pleasants, Zakelj, Hennessy, Burford, Gutierrez, McKenzie, Johnson, Nugent, Colby, Alarcon, Moss. I want to see what they can do but to be clear there isn't a Trent or Puni in that group.
Watched the Boise State tape. Unfortunately, Moss was playing RT and he's just not a tackle. Body type is compact and squatty. If you told me he was 320 I would have believed it. Underwear band is hanging out because his ass and legs are thick. Struggled with speed on the edge and trying to mirror rushers. I dont think theres any chance he can play tackle in the NFL at 6'4 with 32 inch arms. He is an interior lineman through and through. Unfortunately, on this game tape Colorado State is down early and sucks at running the ball, so we see 54 pass sets vs 17 runs. So admittedly, this is not the best exposure.

The good. He's quick off the ball. He appears to have a good anchor and good grip strength. If hes in front and latches on hes able to hold the point and neutralize defenders. Hes good at riding the hip of defenders and using their own momentum against them. He generates push in the run game. His finishing and mauler mentality is inconsistent, but when its turned up he has the strength to throw guys down and take them out of the play. His play doesnt scream this guy is super athletic, but he makes some quick moves where you can tell he has something in there. He has a good first and second step, and would seem to project well as a puller.

The bad. He looks uncoordinated to me. He makes a lightning quick first move to run out on a WR screen, but then he trips over his own man. Another time he has an opportunity to get to the second level and trips over his own feet. Defenders tossed him to the ground a few times. He was 0/2 on cut block attempts and looked awkward. He has the recognition of when to combo block, but is late getting there. Not because he is physically slow, but he just leaves too late to get there. He overestimates his ability to cover ground. Looks susceptible to stunts. He plays top heavy and is a lunger. I see him looking for work at the second level, but rarely getting to someone to make a play.

Overall, looks like a UDFA guy. I'd like to see tape of him inside, and in an offense with more movement. Colorado State is mostly running man blocking and its tough to glean what he can do in outside zone especially from a million 1 v 1 pass sets. As is, I'm not seeing NFL talent. But perhaps his weaknesses are thought to be coachable and/or his strengths can be better highlighted in outside zone.
