It's like Sofies choice *tear*

Seriously though, tell me if this guy falls to the third round due to injury concerns that you wouldn't want him?

Per PFW:
Upside:
• Quick out of his stance
• Athletic and light on his feet
• Shuffles, slides and pushes rushers wide
• Places his hands inside and can pop and recoil
• Flexible hips to scoop and seal
• Understands positioning, angles
• Terrific character

Downside:
• Underdeveloped body
• Limited core strength (not stout to anchor vs. bull rush)
• Outmuscled at the point
• Not explosive on contact
• Lunges and slips off blocks
• Long-term durability is a concern
• Medical issues are serious — has a history of shoulder problems

The Way We See It:
An underpowered, intelligent, competitive, hardworking technician, Datko is a hunchbacked zone blocker who played left tackle at FSU, but is better suited to play the right side in the pros. Durability is a major concern and will drop draft standing.

Also per Scouts Inc:
"Effective zone blocker with above average first step-quickness, balance and angles. Gets adequate hand placement and sustains once locked on. Above average body control and can cover up linebackers when works up to the second level. Average drive blocker that can wall off defenders but doesn't generate enough push. Lower body strength appears just average on film. Lunges at times and falls off some blocks. Here again shoulder injury appears to hinder ability to lock out on 2011 film."

You know what other Tackle prospect dropped to the third round due to durability concerns and switched from Left to Right Tackle?

Winston was widely considered one of the best offensive tackles to enter the 2006 NFL Draft. However, an anterior cruciate ligament injury during his junior year made his draft stock drop, and several draft scouting organizations express slight worry over the possible implications of the injury and subsequent surgery on his play. His stock for the draft improved, however, when he ran a 4.93 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine. Also a standout student, Winston graduated in 3 years with above a 3.5 GPA and was a 2005 All-America selection.

Hightower is not signed, is returning from major injury and there are many very good RB's.

1-Helu
2-Royster
3-Tristan Davis

I don't know why we'd need one, but we can always get one late in the draft or pick up an UDFA.

I see RT as a must to protect both ends, then start working on the interior.

Vick Ballard of Mississippi State (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/vick-ballard-28/) and Edwin Baker of Michigan State (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/edwin-baker-4/) grade out similarly to Helu. Decent vision, good speed, similar pre-draft grade.

Obviously Shanahan might not be looking for the next Roy Helu exactly but those two seem like candidates.

Other mid-round guys to look out for due to above average vision and one-cut run ability:

Chris Rainey - Florida (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/chris-rainey-1/)

Ronnie Hillman - San Diego State (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/ronnie-hillman-13/)

Lennon Creer - Louisiana Tech (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/lennon-creer-5/)

And the highest rated vision among potential Shanahan Backs

Tauren Poole - Tennessee (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/tauren-poole-28/)
Underrated natural instincts as a runner. The more we study him the more impressed we are with his vision and feel. Has a good sense for penetration and knows when to change directions in the backfield. Feels the cutback lane opening and shows consistent ability to exploit it. Is patient and will let his blocks develop, but he's also a decisive runner that always seems to be working to get north. "

The following backs all are reported to have very good vision but are considered a risk to go undrafted. All are falling due to durability concerns. Shanahan has picked guys graded in this range before (Royster and Torain)

Jonas Gray - Notre Dame (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/jonas-gray-25/)

Jeff Demps - Florida (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/jeffery-demps-28/)

Jewel Hampton - Southern Illinois (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/jewel-hampton-27/)

Bryce Brown - Kansas State (http://www.profootballweekly.com/prospects/player/bryce-brown-8/)

In short anyone from Florida should make us happy as should a certain back from Tennessee.

Terrence Ganaway to replace Hightower would be my choice. The guy is a horse who is deceptively fast and familiar with RGIII.

Doesn't really seem like a Shanahan back. To be one you have to have to be one of the following.

1. Above average vision and anticipation

or

2. Average Vision and antipation with game breaking speed to make up for average vision.

Ganaway appears to have average vision without the gamebreaking speed. Then again thats only going off the Scouts Inc report.

Why Andrew Datko?
