Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 71.05 (Roster depth)
Pro Comparison: Max Garcia
Summary

Seth McLaughlin is a good leader and communicator. He has a high football IQ that allows him to pick up stunts and games. McLaughlin has limited athleticism and is going to be more effective in a power/gap scheme as opposed to pulling and engaging blocks in space. The Alabama transfer does a good job sealing run lanes, but is coming off a torn Achilles tendon suffered in November.
