PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Ratledge is a physically imposing, power-oriented right guard with a mauling presence in the run game. His raw strength, functional athleticism, and aggressive mentality make him a great fit for gap/power running schemes, but he has enough athletic ability to contribute in inside zone concepts as well. His pass protection technique is solid, but he can struggle against quicker interior rushers due to occasional balance issues and forward lean. His high floor, SEC pedigree, and tone-setting physicality make him a Day 2 starter candidate for teams needing interior power.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
