Colton McKivitz
Overview
Tall tackle prospect with NFL bloodlines and a noticeable improvement in play strength last season. The run-blocking tape falls below the protection tape due to leverage and adjustment limitations we frequently see with taller tackles. Trapilo won’t generate much movement in the run game, but good upper-body power helps him neutralize the edge. He operates with sound pass sets, active hands and excellent arm extension. He has a good feel for pocket depth with an ability to ride rushers over the top, but he will get beat by inside counters and speed-to-power rushers at times. Trapilo could operate as a swing tackle early on but his potential in pass protection gives him a good chance to become a starter.
Strengths
Attention to the B-gap makes him hard to beat on twists.
Accurate hands and good arm extension keep rusher out of his chest.
Stays connected at the top of the rush with balance and hand resets.
Able to uncoil his lower half and access a firm anchor when challenged.
Accurate hands, good positioning and sturdy base on kick-out blocks.
Hustles off the snap to find his angles and positioning on back-side blocks.
Above-average grip strength allows for longer stickiness as a run blocker.
Father was a fourth-round draft pick and starting guard for the Saints.
Weaknesses
Uses “reach and feel” hands more often than a forceful punch.
Needs to play with quicker hands to mitigate average reach.
Average foot agility and body control to handle counters and spins.
Struggles to generate movement due to elevated pad level at the point.
Gets torqued off balance by stockier opponents with strong hips.
Below-average bend and adjustment as second-level blocker.

Round 3
NFL Comparison
Nnamdi Madubuike
Overview
Three-year starter with “tweener” measurables but excellent musculation and lean mass. Turner plays with unlimited activity and a heavy dose of violence. He has a quick first step and an explosive punch. He’s capable of holding the point against single blocks or working the gaps with foot quickness. His pressure rate is hurt by a lack of length but he’s a restless rusher who hunts blockers’ edges and will eventually leak through if the play extends. His athleticism and chase quickness will see him in or near the pile with some frequency as a future starter.
Strengths
Plays with a relentless level of aggression.
Gets off the snap and into the neutral zone quickly.
Quick to show-and-go from one gap to the next as a penetrator.
Power and leverage to punch and tilt blocker at the point.
Neverending series of slaps and counters during his rush.
Works to find rush openings with active hands and feet.
Capable of rushing from a variety of alignments.
Weaknesses
Lacks mass and will get swallowed by double teams.
Aggression leads to lingering with his block attacks.
Unable to leverage his rush by utilizing his length.
Pass rush could use better bend to quicken transitions.
Cost his team with too many 15-yard penalties during career.
