Blake Schlueter SELECTED BY: Broncos Round 7 (16)

SI Grade 3.26 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors since his sophomore campaign.

POSITIVES: Intelligent lineman best in pass protection. Sets with a wide base, blocks with good lean, and displays footwork in space. Keeps his feet moving, effective with his hands, and a good position blocker who seals defenders from the action. Smart, keeps his head on a swivel, and works well with teammates. Shows ability in motion, and displays outstanding blocking vision.

NEGATIVES: Overextends or reaches into blocks, which adversely affects his balance. Not a large or dominant blocker who opens holes in the middle of the field.

ANALYSIS: Schlueter has been a very productive college center, and he offers possibilities as a backup lineman in a zone-blocking system.

PROJECTION: Free Agent
