Jon Asamoah, G, Illinois
Ht: 6’ 4” Wt: 305
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: Though he is not an elite athlete, Asamoah has the aggressive style of play that coaches love. He may not come in and make an immediate impact but will eventually become a contributor to Kansas City's offensive line.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: A stiff, upper-body blocker who will enamor evaluators with his toughness and can deceive a trained eye when he is facing lesser competition and everything lines up the right way for him, but is not naturally big, plays short- armed, is extremely stiff and will struggle to match up against quickness and power in the pros. Will be drafted early and asked to start out of the gate likely by a team employing a zone protection scheme, but the team that drafts him too early could be looking to replace him, and he’ll struggle to be more than a serviceable pro. Could be best at center.
NFL projection: Second- to third-round pick.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report: A three-year starter at right guard, Asamoah’s size, strength and excellent mobility makes him a coveted interior line prospect versatile enough to line up on either side of the formation. In a somewhat thin class, he should hear his name called in the top 60.
