Aaron Merz Grade: 3.21  Position: OG  Class: Sr  School: California  Conference: Pacific-10  Ht., Wt.: 6-3.5, 346  40 Time: 5.48   Selected by: Buffalo Bills   Round 7, pick 40 (248 overall) Grading System

BIO: Three-year starter at both guard positions. Previous All-Conference selection. POSITIVES: King-sized blocker who can be a dominant force. Plays with good pad level, naturally strong and pushes defenders from the line of scrimmage. Anchors in pass protection and walls opponents from the action. Nasty and always looking for someone to hit. NEGATIVES: Lacks adjustment, not light on his feet and gets tall as the play proceeds. Not considered a hard worker who does the extras. Shoulder injuries have been a concern in the past. ANALYSIS: A former walk-on with the size and intelligence to play in the NFL, Merz is a gifted lineman with starting potential. Must consistently give effort on and off the field. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
