Andrew Donnal NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Rams Rookie

STRENGTHS

A grinder at right tackle, Andrew Donnal has the technique and motor you want in a prospect. Donnal is technically smart with a strong, hard burst coming out of the snap. He's a fighter who looks for contact in the run game, and he shows good hand placement when locking on to defenders. As you'd expect from an Iowa player, Donnal is a well-coached, pro-ready player. He has the length to affect the passing game and can play guard or right tackle in both power- and zone-blocking schemes. Donnal's instincts are developed, and he won't get caught waiting or guessing on what to do off the ball.

WEAKNESSES

Donnal wasn't invited to the Shrine Game or the Senior Bowl, but he was a combine invite. He's a lean player with a narrow, skinny base and must add power in his foundation to be a better run-blocker at the next level. He'll struggle to anchor against a bull rush and hasn't shown the agility to reset his feet and redirect in pass pro.

PRO COMPARISON: Sam Baker, Atlanta Falcons

Donnal may be limited as an athlete, but his strength and technique are good enough for him to play in the NFL for a long time. His upside is comparable to Sam Baker's, and they're similar athletes too.
