This is the sixth entry in a series of articles examining players from the 2009 nfl draft. The Falcoholic has started to cobble together a retrospective on the season. This should not be taken as a sign that we are finally getting our collective act together. Next on our list, fifth-round offensive tackle Garrett Reynolds.
He’s got 10 pounds and two inches on Sam Baker, everyone’s favorite T.Rex slash left tackle, and he looks like a big ol’ wall made of human being out there. Unfortunately, it’s very tough to judge an offensive tackle based on limited playing time, considering the fact that there’s no widely used statistics to determine effectiveness for offensive tackles besides BRBs (Being Really Big).
The biggest question for a guy like Reynolds, drafted in the fifth round, is whether he can turn himself into a starter over the long haul. If he proves consistent and talented enough, Reynolds could eventually take over and provide more of a run-blocking presence than Clabo currently does.
Like so many other members of the 2009 nfl draft, Reynolds offers a lot of potential, mixed with a spoonful of the unknown. He didn’t get the PT for me to predict great things from him, and with an uncapped year approaching, Clabo will return and limit his value again in 2010 nfl draft. Some people expect him to get some work as a reserve and work on gunning for a starting spot in 2011.
