Final Report
Max Iheanachor is a standout tackle out of Arizona State. Iheanachor has prototypical NFL size for a tackle at basically 6'6" and 321 lbs. He's a decent athlete showing good quickness and fluidity for his size. He's also durable completing 31 out of 32 starts for Arizona State. As a run blocker, Iheanachor is at his best when collapsing down on IDLs on down blocks, pulling for kick outs, and zone blocking. He's not the best drive blocker because he gets a bit high at times but he'll always get to a spot first due to his impressive footwork and agility. He needs to be better at sustaining blocks. In pass protection, he has the chance to be elite. He's quick into his sets and has fast hands that reset quickly to counter more skilled rushers. He also anchors well in pass pro against power. He needs to work on maintaining good technique against faster rushers. At times he fails to bring his feet with him allowing quicker EDGEs to angle tighter and collapse the pocket. Iheanachor has the look of a long-time starter at tackle. He played mostly right tackle in college and it would be best for him to continue there at the next level. He's a first round talent.
