Great article on OL scouting and McGary
https://www.cover1.net/nfl-draft-player-evaluation-scheme-technique/
Scouts and draft analysts should possess a certain level of understanding of common schemes and techniques in order to fully engage in player evaluation. Without it, they could be incorrectly identifying traits. I examine this through the lens of Washington Huskies right tackle Kaleb McGary....

That was an interesting read, Maroon. Now I know what an "ass block" is... LOL
Thanks for sharing, MB! There's some really interesting stuff about the OL in there (and the problems with trying to scout a guy when you don't know what he's being coached to do).
That was a great read...I'll re-read now that I'm hope and an access the whole piece.
Wow, this piece is even better than I thought it was when I posted it. Skimmed it before, but just finished reading the whole thing and watching all the clips. A lot of really good stuff here and I like McGary a quite a bit more today than I did yesterday. Still can't see him at 18, but what a great pick he'd be at 50.
