| Mitchell Schwartz Scouting Report |
| Mitchell Schwartz - California (HT: 6-5⅜ - WT: 318) |
Positives -- Possesses a good tall frame and has added some bulk over the years... Above average agility and movement skills for a player of his size... His run blocking ability is his biggest strength... Really does a great job of understanding angles by consistently putting his body in the correct position
to make a block, gets a low pad level and delivers a powerful jolt that knocks the defenders back... Consistently pumps his strong legs and drives opponents... Provides a better than average punch at the point of attack, strong enough to anchor against bull rushers, sinks hips well... Gets to defenders quickly in the run game, proficient on the move, smoothly transitions to the second level... Tough player who has no problem mixing it up in the trenches... A very experienced player, started in all 51 games possible over four seasons; versatile, made 35 starts at left tackle and 16 starts at right tackle... Good bloodlines, brother Geoff is a starting tackle for the Carolina Panthers.
Negatives -- He will most likely struggle with pass protection at the next level... Doesn't have the foot speed to stay in front of speed rushers... Doesn't rely on his footwork and technique in pass protection, will try to overpower the defender and lunge... Gets off balance too often, creating an opportunity to be beaten with push or pull moves... Doesn't play with the same leverage in the passing game as he does in the running game, plays too high... Probably only a right tackle prospect so he doesn't have to play as much speed on the outside edge... Lacks a mean streak and doesn't regularly finish blocks to the whistle.
