Geoff Schwartz SELECTED BY: Carolina Panthers Round 7(34)

SI Grade 3.32 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded All-Conference honors as a senior.

POSITIVES: King-sized blocker who.s at his best in a small area. Blocks with good lean, easily anchors at the point, and removes defenders from the action. Displays terrific hand-punch and easily knocks opponents from their angle of attack. Stays square and plays with a good degree of intelligence. Plays nasty and works to finish blocks.

NEGATIVES: Stiff, struggles to adjust, and ineffective in motion. Lacks footwork and lateral blocking range.

ANALYSIS: Schwartz is a hard-working lineman with ability on the strong side. He must learn to play with better flexibility, but he could have a chance on a team that reduces his area responsibilities.

PROJECTION: Late Sixth Round
