Rodger Saffold, OT, Indiana
Ht: 6’ 4 5/8” Wt: 316
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Saffold is a good enough athlete to play left tackle in the NFL. The Rams need to protect their new $45 million investment in Sam Bradford and need to score more points to stay competitive.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Solidified his standing at the East- West Shrine Game, where he impressed evaluators with his athletic ability and showed clear starter potential as a left tackle. Does not have great length to handle the edges and could project inside to left guard in a lateral-moving, zone-slide protection scheme, but he has convinced scouts he could be a competent edge protector on the blind side after moving very fluidly at the Combine, bulking up, measuring longer and working out very well. Could warrant some late first-round interest as a left tackle prospect if he is given a clean bill of health and should start right away, at left guard or tackle.
NFL projection: Top-50 pick.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report: Stood out during the East-West Shrine Game practices as potentially the top player in attendance because of his footwork in pass protection and excellent strength and pop on inside run drills. That effort coupled with his 2009 performance could earn him a spot in the top 75 selections.
