Re: Chad Rinehart profile

Compares To...LOGAN MANKINS-New England...Like Mankins, Rinehart is a collegiate tackle who might have a quicker route to a starting job at the professional level with a potential shift to offensive guard. He is a punishing trap blocker with good explosion getting out in front when pulling. He uses his strength well to sustain and widen rush lanes, but must work on bending more at the knees than at the waist. He has a hand punch that will shock and jolt an opponent, showing improvement placing those hands as a senior than he did in the past. In isolated coverage, he will dominate a smaller opponent. With his body control and ability to square up and wall off second level defenders, he could bring immediate value with a possible shift in-line.
-----------------

Not that I'm a scout, but he did seem to play a bit high at times. However whenever he bent his knees and sunk his hips he was violent and usally he would end up taking the opposing player to the ground with ease. Either way love this pick. If we somehow end up with Steve Justice we'll be set at O-Line, but I think the FO would rather try and get Henderson or Josh Johnson.

Another thing I'm loving about these picks (save Kelly) is that none of them have problems with durability.
