Dalton Risner NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for Denver Broncos' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Has the versatility to play every position on the line, including center, and moved all over for Kansas State in his four years as a starter.

—Plays through the whistle on every play. Makes it a point to finish every block.

—Can lock and drive in the run game. Incredibly strong hands and upper body.

—Excellent arm length (34") and uses that well to reach defenders in the run game, where he can be a mean finisher.

—Has some nasty to his game and isn't afraid to mix it up in the trenches, as seen in Senior Bowl practices against Zach Allen of Boston College.

WEAKNESSES

—Jack of all trades, master of none.

—Struggles to mirror speed-rushers at tackle and will be kicked inside once in the NFL.

—Hand placement can be inconsistent, which has led to some holding penalties.

—Poor fit for zone schemes due to footwork and inability to reach second level.

OVERALL

What you see is what you get with Risner. He doesn't have much development potential left after five seasons at Kansas State, but he can improve with the right scheme fit and positional asks. Most teams we polled see him as a guard or center at the next level, but he could land at right tackle.

GRADE: 6.85 (ROUND 2 - ROOKIE IMPACT)

PRO COMPARISON: Kyle Long
