Scouting Report

Strengths

He makes top-notch line calls and can read the blitz and make ideal blocks against the blitz. He has top-notch athleticism and has some excellent footwork to help make sure he is in the right spot for his blocking situations.

He's got a nasty streak to him and has an amazing punch against opposing defenders. He possess a great frame and has the ability to put more weight on and still retain quickness. He also has a natural leadership in his game.

Weaknesses

Sometimes his height can hurt him as he doesn't always get great leverage and can stand up a bit too tall and get pushed around. He also sometimes gets unbalanced when he is trying to finish blocks and winds up pancaking himself.

Overview

Konz is a guy who is a three-year starter from the Wisconsin Badgers and can project into an instant starter in the pro game. He can play the zone scheme and the man scheme and has the natural abilities to be a Pro Bowler.

How he would fit into the Falcons' plans

Konz is likely a late round one to early round two pick and will more than likely not be there for the Falcons to select in the second round. He is a guy who will compete for an instant starting spot at right guard.
