Grading System
Eric Heitmann | OG | Stanford | Pacific-10 Conference
Selected by San Francisco 49ers in round 7, pick 28 (239 overall)
Height Weight 40 Grade
6'3½ 305 5.21 3.54
All-Conference selection the past two years and an All-American Academic award winner in the past.

Tough, nasty lineman with a nice feel for his position. Blocks with a wide base, strong in his lower body and looks to take opponents out of the action. Quick setting in pass protection, stays square, displaying good arm punch and a powerful upper body. Plays with balance, leverage and gets movement from his run blocks. Heady and quick mentally picking up his assignments or helping out his line-mates. Lacks body adjustment, overextends and does not move well in space. Not effective if asked to block on the move and better in a small area. Has size potential, durable in college and does the little things well. Mid Fifth Round.
