BIOGRAPHY: Two-year starter at left tackle awarded all-Conference honors as a senior.

POSITIVES: Nice-sized pass blocker who moves well on his feet. Fluid sliding out to protect the edge, shows the ability to adjust, and keeps blitzing linebackers away from his quarterback. Sets with a wide base, and is effective with his hands, extending them into defenders, and then knocking them from their angle of attack. Patient, flashes the ability to block on the move, and is relatively effective in motion. For the most part, blocks with solid fundamentals.

NEGATIVES: Lacks the dominant base, pushed back off the line by large opponents, and a marginal run blocker. Must improve his blocking balance. Lacks a mean streak, and plays with a passive nature.

ANALYSIS: Cadogan is a solid pass protector with above-average size and athleticism. He possesses the footwork to start at the left tackle position, yet he must improve his strength and learn and play with more fire in his belly.

PROJECTION: Third Round
