| Derek Sherrod OT Mississippi State | ||
 |
Ht: 6’6″
Wt: 312 |
 |
| Strengths: | ||
| Prototypical size for an NFL lineman. A three-year starter at left tackle. A smart kid on and off the field. Team captain in 2010. Very solid fundamentals both in pass protection and run blocking. | ||
| Weaknesses: | ||
| Solid across the board, but not great at anything. Athleticism is only average, and may not allow for him to play left tackle at the next level. | ||
| Comments: | ||
| Sherrod is a solid but unspectacular lineman. He doesn’t have an exceptionally high ceiling, but his floor isn’t very low either. At worst, he develops into a quality right tackle. At best, he’s a quality left tackle. Whichever position he winds up at, he’s probably a starter but probably not a Pro Bowl caliber player. I wouldn’t hesitate to take him in the 2nd round, but wouldn’t reach for him in the 1st. | ||
