DUSTIN RYKERT

Position: OT Class: Sr School: BYU Conference: MWC Ht., Wt.: 6'5, 327 40 Time: 5.47 Grade: 3.44 Selected by Oakland Raiders Round 6, pick 31 (204 overall)

BIO: Three-year starter who won All-Conference honors every season since his sophomore campaign. Used at left tackle in college. POSITIVES: Nice-sized lineman best on the strong side. Tough guy who works to stay square, keeps opponents in front of him and fights throughout the play. Jolts opponents with a punch of his arms, makes good use of blocking angles and works hard to finish blocks. NEGATIVES: Stiff, lacks blocking range and not light on his feet. Gives an attempt to play low but not a natural knee bender and more of an arm wrestler than leverage blocker. ANALYSIS: Size and size potential are enticing though he must improve his blocking fundamentals to have a chance of sticking at the next level. PROJECTION: Early Sixth Round
