Two Iowa lineman that project as Guards are apparently going to be up for grabs in that 3rd to 4th round range. It seems like Wisconsin and Iowa are both making a case for O-Line U.
Anyway both Adam Gettis and Markus Zusevics fit the profile of the underweight Guard that gets good position and is able to move better then most players at their position. Markus though played RT during his time at Iowa, but according to Scouts Inc he's listed as a Guard for the next level. Either way that versatility seems to be a plus when you get evaluated by the Shanahan coaching tree.
Markus Zusevics
Height-Weight-Speed - 3 -Has frame to play either ROT or OG in the NFL. Is lighter than average but continues to add bulk to frame. Arm length (33 7/8') and hand span (9 ¾') are right on par with average OGs from last five NFL scouting combines. Speed is slightly better than average.
Run Blocking - 3 - "Does a nice job with the angle of his first-step and is almost always in good initial position. Plays with very good balance. Gives good effort and works to finish, but lacks functional strength at this point. Struggles to drive defenders off the line. Unlikely to contribute in NFL if core strength does not improve but has potential to develop into a starter if it does.
Adequate mobility as a second-level blocker. Can reach second level and hit moving target but occasionally takes an incorrect angle. "
Adam Gettis
Height-Weight-Speed - 4 -Above average top-end speed and average height but marginal bulk. Weighed in 225-230 pound range coming out of high school and may be close to maxing out frame.
Run Blocking - 2 - Never going to be a mauler and can't away with playing too high but flashes the ability to move bigger defensive tackles off the ball. Strong for size and rolls hips on contact.
Effective zone blocker despite athletic limitations and at best washing defenders down the line of scrimmage.
Has some problems adjusting to moving targets in space but takes adequate angles to the second level and flashes the ability to cover up linebackers. Enough range to get around the corner and lead the way when asked to bull.
