Monroe OT Virginia #75 |
| Ht:
6'5
Wt: 315
| |
| Strengths: |
| Prototypical size for an NFL left
tackle. Shows good technique. Has the long arms necessary to dominate. Excels
in pass protection. Enough quickness to handle speed rushers. Has experience at
both tackle and guard. |
| Weaknesses:
|
| Doesn't have the strong
base necessary to excel as a run blocker or hold up against bull rushers. Needs
to add more weight before he can be a truly dominant offensive lineman. Suffered
a dislocated kneecap during the 2006 offseason. Also missed 2 games with a knee
injury in 2007. |
| Comments:
|
| Monroe quietly goes
about his business and gets the job done, but he rarely dominates - which is a
concern. Questions that need to be addressed are: does he lack the effort or does
he just need to bulk up a little? Monroe was the reason Virginia left Branden
Albert at guard rather than play him at left tackle (where he plays for the Chiefs).
Monroe is already an elite pass blocker, but needs work as a run blocker before
becoming a complete lineman - because of this, certain teams will find him more
attractive than others. |
