Strengths:
Justin Blalock is potentially the most versatile offensive
lineman in the 2007 NFL draft class. Blalock may not be the most
ideal fit at LT, however he would be a good fit at either guard
position or at the RT position. One of the more consistent
performers at the tackle position during his career at Texas,
Blalock will provide a road grader in the interior of an offensive
line for who ever selects him.
Weaknesses:
Many occurrences a draft prospects stock will stumble slightly
due to their performance on the field during their senior campaign.
Justin Blalock played remarkable during his junior season, while
helping to lead the Texas Longhorns to a National Title. His senior
season, he had bouts of inconsistent play, whether that was due to
the changes on offense or not, Blalock should have dominated this
past season, and did not.
Overall:
Justin Blalock may become the next in the long line of
successful interior lineman in the National Football League who
translated their games from playing the offensive tackle position
while in college. It may not seem like Justin Blalock does anything
great, but he does everything good. There is always room for a
player like Blalock in the NFL, so the expectation is that Justin
Blalock could get drafted at the end of round one or no later than
the beginning of round two.
