I've been doing some research on all of our draft picks and undrafted rookie free agents. Hope y'all can find this useful. It's a little insight on what all these players can and can't do. I'll be posting more as I do the research and analysis on each player. this may be a long read.
Chris Olave'- WR, Ohio St.
Height- 6'1" Weight- 187#, 40 time- 4.39, Vertical- 32", Broad Jump- 124"
The Positives:
Olave' is smooth, steady and makes things happen. His movements are fluid and easy, buttery smooth mode of operation, from the snap to the catch and all points between. He's fast but efficient and plays with the bend and foot agility to uncover all three levels. His top end speed will create vertical opportunities. Olave' possesses natrural, well rounded ball skills.
The Negatives:
Olave' will need to add strength to ward off physical CB's that he will be facing in the NFL. He will also need more strength to be a better blocker downfield in the run game. He gets washed out at times trying to block.
Trevor Penning- OT, Northern Iowa
Height- 6'7" Weight- 325# 40 Time- 4.89 3-Cone- 7.25 Shuttle- 4.62 Vertical- 28" Broad Jump- 9'3"
The Positives: Penning is light on his feet with fluid movement skills in space for a guy his size. This dude imposes his will with a bully mentality, he just dominates at the LOS. He uses a mixture of crafty hand techniques (snatch, flash) to keep rushers guessing. Penning has the prototypical height, weight and length for playing OT. As a matter of fact he has experience playing both tackle spots and he's played all over the O-Line. He generates major torque on command to toss defenders off their feet. I've seen him pancake or just straight up roll over defensive linemen and leave them laying on the field while watching some film on him. He has the quickness and play strength to operate in any scheme.
The Negatives:
Penning does have some weaknesses though. He tends to drop his outside foot, opens his hips early and create a short corner against wider-aligned speed rushers who attack his edge. He sometimes over extends himself in run blocks and get wash out of the play. But these are just technique flaws that Marrone will be able to fix.
