Sean Harlow NFL Draft 2017: Scouting Report for Atlanta Falcons' Pick

Pro Day Results

Height	Weight	40 Time	Arm Length	Hand Size
6'4"	303 lbs	5.15s	32"	9 ½"

POSITIVES

Sean Harlow started for four seasons at Oregon State, playing as a true freshman at right tackle and eventually splitting his remaining starts between the left and right side. A college tackle only, Harlow projects best inside due to his 32-inch arms. Harlow did 26 reps on the bench press, and that power and explosion show in his upper body. He can latch on and move defenders with his core and arm strength. His hand strength on punches and when gripping in the run game is impressive. Harlow is a worker and a finisher in his blocks. He's relentless in positioning himself and working to seal off defenders in the run game. 

NEGATIVES

A smaller, undersized guard prospect at 6'4" and 303 pounds. Harlow doesn't have great size or great power, and it shows in his blocks. Harlow may lack the size and lower-body strength to crack a lineup unless he's used in a zone scheme—in which he would have to improve his lateral quickness and flexibility. His heavy feet make pulls and traps a problem, and at tackle he was often behind the count when trying to beat pass-rushers off the edge. Without much arm length, Harlow has to be a blocker with his feet, but against NFL talent he's a step slow for that game. He looks like a great locker room player and potential high-end backup, but not a starter.
