Strengths: Displays excellent size and strength for the position. Road grader who locks on and resets the line of scrimmage in the run game. Displays excellent athleticism on designed pulls and creates lanes for runners when getting to the second level. Uses size, strength, and leverage to make himself an effective pass blocker. Mirrors pass rush moves well and uses good footwork to keep rusher in front of him. Passes off blocks and switches assignments well, maintaining effectiveness as a blocker. High effort player who doesn't take plays off and looks for blocks.

Weaknesses: Plays at a nearly standing level which will allow opposing DTs to get under and move him at the next level. Needs to bend knees more and play lower. Relies heavily on size and strength to win and will need better technique at the next level. Places hands outside too often which will lead to holding calls at the next level, needs to get hands inside to maximize leverage and strength.

Other: Classic "Boom or Bust" prospect. Good OL coach could make him All-Pro.

Player Comparison: Ben Grubbs

Only because of his immense potential. He could be a stone wall with the right OL coach because his size, strength and athleticism are hard to find. If you're looking for more of a sure thing, Isaiah Wynn is the better bet.

Any Thoughts on our new Oline coach? Could he coach him up?

Word on Hernandez is that his wonderlic was really low. So low that teams are questioning whether he could absorb an nfl offense. So he should drop into the second.

It's not like he's a QB, he doesn't need to know the whole offense, just his role on a play. Learning technique is going to be a lot more important for him. He plays from a near standing position. Someone is going to have to teach him how to get low and use his strength more effectively rather than to just not get driven back.

But he does Dam, he needs to know what he and the rest of the line is doing every play. He doesn't have to put a WR in position or send a TE in motion, but an offensive line needs to know their part and their line-mate's part. Who is pulling, who has gap responsibility, where to apply help. If he is a dumbass, that makes things a lot harder, especially in an uptempo offense with no huddle.

His level of technique is a wholly different situation, and that is mostly up to them to work on in the off season since weekly practice is essentially gameplan installment at this point.

Now there can be a lot of different reason for his low score: he blew it off, he has a learning disability, some people just don't test well. But you go into that during the interview and followup interviews after the combine.
