Overall, Troy Fautanu projects as a "Mid-Level Starter Potential" in the NFL. His solid foundation in pass protection and the potential for improvement in run blocking suggest he could develop into a reliable starter, especially if he refines his technique at the second level and improves his bend and agility. His immediate impact may be as a rotational player, but with the right development, he could become a dependable starter within his first few years in the league. ← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Troy Fautanu Washington HT: 6040 WT: 317 YR: RSO POS: OT OVR RK 32 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 6 KEY STRENGTHS Pass Pro Footwork Hand Placement KEY CONCERNS 2nd Level Bend Agility PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Troy Fautanu showcases a balanced blend of power and technique, making him a versatile offensive tackle capable of adapting to various schemes. He has demonstrated proficiency in pass protection, utilizing his above-average hand placement and footwork to effectively counter edge rushers. Fautanu's run blocking is solid, though there's room for improvement in consistency and technique at the second level. His agility and ability to sustain blocks can be leveraged in zone-blocking schemes, where lateral movement and maintaining blocks are critical. However, his skill set also aligns well with power-run schemes due to his physicality and finishing ability.

Jalen Carter is a disruptive defensive lineman with an impressive blend of size, strength, and athleticism. He possesses a quick first step and excellent burst off the snap, allowing him to penetrate gaps and disrupt the backfield.

He presses routes vertically to stress coverage and consistently tracks and finishes deep throws with strong hands and concentration. Lance uses his frame well to shield defenders and secure contested targets, particularly downfield. However, he is a high-cut athlete with limited short-area quickness, and he labors getting in and out of sharp breaks.

He thrives in zone-based rushing schemes that allow him to press the line of scrimmage before making decisive cuts.
