From now until the 2023 NFL Draft takes place, we hope to scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top 10 picks, all the way down to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free agents. Today, I’ll be profiling Pittsburgh offensive tackle Carter Warren.

-Terrific overall length and hand usage
-Possesses a powerful snatch/trap in his pass sets that he wins consistently with
-Really good footwork overall to mirror/match and change directions in pass sets
-Plays with a well-balanced, wide base
-Rarely finds himself off balance in pass sets, allowing him to change directions with ease
-Shows consistent ability to anchor quickly and limit penetration against speed-to-power and bull rushes
-Comfortable shooting hands together or using independent hands in pass protection to vary up his looks
-Quick, efficient kick to gain depth in pass set
-Sound spatial awareness to pick off free defenders
-Run blocking a real concern; lacks that overall power, aggression in that area of his game
-More content winning stalemates as a run blocker than actually attempting to displace defender
-Tends to slip off blocks too often far too easily in the run game
-Needs to add serious functional strength
-On the much older side for a prospect, having turned 24 in January
-Tape shows a number of communication breakdowns and issues with penalties
-Seems to lack aggressive mindset throughout games
-Medicals a real concern after missing much of 2022 season and All-Star circuit; Combine will be key for him
