Round 3, Pick 92 - Cleveland Browns - Shawn Lauvao

Shawn Lauvao, G, Arizona State

Ht: 6’ 2 7/8” Wt: 315

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  A prospect that many seem to think will exceed expectations, Lauvao is the type of hard-working player that team's seek in this point of the Draft.  Though Cleveland is deep at certain positions on the offensive line, Lauvao will have an opportunity to be a part of the Browns' rotation.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Athletic, undersized, positional blocker who played guard and left tackle in college but projects inside in the pros, where he would be best served manning short areas. Had a strong showing playing guard at the Senior Bowl and possesses eventual starter potential in a zone-blocking scheme.

NFL projection: Fourth- to fifth-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Lauvao made a successful conversion to left tackle in 2009, but most scouts feel he fits best at guard in the NFL.  Lauvao’s height, short arms and toughness make him an ideal fit inside.  Considering his versatility, durability and toughness, he provides good value in the middle rounds and has the work ethic to be a future NFL starter.
