Final Report
Dallen Bentley is a great athlete with a dream frame for in-line blocking. While his athleticism is more for when the ball is already in his hands, he can complement the WRs as a 4th option who creates off of checkdowns and works on run-action. Bentley broke out very late, finally producing anything in his final year of college, but his combine indicates he wasn't simply a grown adult dunking on children. His burst and elusivity make him a threat after the catch and on run-action detachment, but I think he has underratedly quick feet that can make him a good static target on things like sticks, curls, and flat routes in a team's true quick game arsenal. That's about it though. He's not gonna be doing anything as a major part of the dropback game and route menu. As a blocker he pays that off with unreal raw tools. 253 is above frame for 6'4, and his 33-inch arms give him great length for the position. While he was used as a move guy in Utah's 6OL jumbo-heavy offense, I suspect he will take to in-line blocking quickly with some solidifying of technique. You're drafting an every-package starting Y who can give you a little bit after the catch. That's a great value in a league paying guys who give nothing as receivers.
