Chukwuma Okorafor NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Pittsburgh Steelers' Pick

POSITIVES

—Massive frame (6'6", 320 lbs) with excellent power in his trunk and the size to road-grade defenders.

—In the run game, he can body defenders and shows strong grip strength to lock on and drive.

—Has impressive leverage out of his stance and doesn't play too tall for a 6'6" blocker.

—Anchors well and protects his inside shoulder by using his length (34 ½" arms) and size to shut down pass-rushing lanes.

—Has experience playing both left and right tackle and shows the power to play guard.

NEGATIVES

—Can get his feet crossed in space and will get worked when set up hard to the outside and forced back inside.

—Doesn't always play to his size and can be timid against better competition.

—Has excelled on size and doesn't show great poise or instincts. Double-moves will ruin his day. Hasn't faced many complete pass-rushers.

—Doesn't look coordinated or athletic in space. Might be best as a guard in a power scheme.

—Had a rough Senior Bowl week when facing pass-rushers who could set up and win with speed. His technique and high posture in pass sets got exposed.
