Comment:
Mulitalo has a good combination of size, play strength and athleticism. He is tough, competitive and experienced. He has been pretty durable. He is a road grader type who is at his best working in a confined area. He can use his size to engulf defenders. He is quick off the ball and into run-blocking patterns. He has good functional strength and works hard to maintain position and generate a push at the line. He has above-average balance and control when sustaining blocks. He can be effective on reach and cutoff blocks. He can adjust and stay in control off combination patterns. He can pull short and block in space. He has good feet and balance in pass protection. He can bend, slide and change directions pretty well. He can anchor against power and maintain pocket depth. He has active hands. But Mulitalo has short arms and lacks consistency in pass protection. He has an inconsistent punch and will give up the outside edges. He tends to lunge, overextend and bend at the waist. He struggles to reset his hands on moving targets and doesn't recover well. He has limitations on long pulls.

Signing this guy is a no-brainer, he fits in with what our offense wants to do and he should come at a reasonable price. He is ranked as the 8th best guard in the NFL according to scouts Inc.
